The POND digital currency is a currency belonging to the open-source Marlin protocol, which provides infrastructure for a high-performance programmable network for decentralized finance projects and the third generation of the web 'Web 3.0'. The nodes in the Marlin network, called Metanodes, run MarlinVM, which provides a virtual interface for developers to deploy custom overlays and perform advanced computations. The Marlin protocol uses the POND digital currency to operate validator nodes on the network by staking it, in addition to allowing holders to vote on proposals and decisions made by the founders. The goal of the Marlin protocol is to develop decentralized applications that are indistinguishable from regular applications in terms of performance for users accustomed to using second-generation web applications. $POND #Write2Earn
