Вкратце: 👀 Сеть релееров перешла на использование стейкинг-контрактов на Arbitrum. 📢 Операторам и делегатам теперь необходимо зарегистрироваться с нуля или перейти на стейкинговый портал на Arbitrum, чтобы продолжить получать реварды. ⛓ Развернуты контракты токенов на Fantom для тестирования интеграции с Anyswap. Другие сети будут добавлены ближе к концу месяца после завершения тестирования. 🕸 OpenWeaver теперь использует инстансы, позволяющие работать на железе ARM. Теперь операторы могут запускать реле на инстансах Graviton. Поддержка в marlinctl появится в ближайшее время. 🗣 Supragya, наш инженер, представил тематическое исследование по MEV в сетях с низкими комиссиями на мероприятии MEV Flashbots в 2021 году.

Happy New Year everyone! 🎉 🐟 2021 has been incredible for Marlin and the work done over the past years has been crucial to the network's growth, setting the stage for what is going to be our best year yet! 🔭 Here's a brief look at some of the major achievements during 2021: 📜 POND and MPond token contracts were deployed a little over a year ago. POND is trading on major exchanges – Binance, Huobi, KuCoin, Uniswap, SushiSwap, CoinDCX, Gate.io, Bitvavo and more. 🌊 FlowMint, the incentivized stakedrop was a tremendous success with over $2 billion worth of tokens bonded at peak. Over 290 validators & 2500 users participated from 7 chains: Polkadot, Fantom, Polygon, NEAR Protocol, Cosmos, Binance Chain & IRISnet. ✅ Initiated Larvanet, the third phase of Marlin's development trajectory. The larvanet already has characteristics of a mainnet - contracts on ETH mainnet, staking rewards, real tokens, etc. with gradual feature addition at each future phase. 🥩 Launched staking which has been live for +10 months. +100 operators joined the Marlin network & run relays for Ethereum. +115M POND & +745 $MPond (1 MPond = 1M POND) staked currently. 🧪 Launched Lagoon, a full-fledged testnet environment for operators to verify their setup before joining the Marlin network. Using Lagoon, operators can attract more delegations by pointing to a track record of performance on the testnet. 🕸 OpenWeaver for Polygon. Block producers & full nodes in the Polygon network can send & receive large blocks at latencies close to physical limits. Provides DeFi traders, arbitrage & liquidation bots near immediate access to the txn mempool. ⚖️ The POND DAO voted on three governance proposals. Update staking undelegation time (passed) Update MPond-Pond bridge parameters (passed) Rebalance staking rewards (failed - insufficient votes) 🧐 MEV support for Polygon. Target: Validators in the Polygon network looking to increase their income by including MEV bundles. dApp devs who want to protect user's txs from frontrunning. MEV searchers interested in prioritizing bundles. 🛠 Released Loki, a dedicated Polygon MEV testnet for validators to smoothly transition to mev-bor on mainnet. Loki allows validators to test the stability of mev-bor w/o affecting the mainnet. 🧠 Spread the word about Marlin through Binance's Learn and Trade POND promotion. Check out our introductory video! ⌛️ Initiated migration of the Marlin Network from Ethereum to Arbitrum. This will allow for increased participation in Marlin's network, with the ecosystem being able to leverage Arbitrum's reduced gas fees while maintaining Ethereum's security. 🤔 Looking ahead... ➡️ Migrate fully to Arbitrum by early February. 🌊 Post-migration, launch FlowMint 2.0 + enable rewards for other chains starting with Polygon, Polkadot and Cosmos. ⚡️ Flashbots (MEV) network for various chains. 📃 And more... ❤️ A special thank you to our community and partners. None of this would be possible without your continued support. 🍻 Here's to 2022 and beyond! 👋 Want to learn more about Marlin or just say hi? Pop into our Discord server. Spread the word:
