Marlin could scale public blockchains by 500 times

• https://www.nextbigfuture.com, by brian wang

After a series of successful simulations and benchmarking in the testnet stage, Marlin is about to announce the protocol and roadmap in Moscow, with the whitepaper being made public on November 5. Marlin's solution can be easily integrated with existing blockchain networks, dApps, and protocols to provide faster peer-to-peer (P2P) communication, reduce latency to 100ms, and boost the throughput of public blockchains by 500 times over and above existing scaling solutions.

The Marlin Protocol includes several features, such as scalable low-latency multicast, network-layer anonymity, and high resiliency with reduced bandwidth consumption to support an efficient network layer aimed at the decentralized ecosystem. The product can transform distributed ledgers and dApps by making them faster and more reliable while ensuring a higher degree of privacy, especially thanks to several key protocol components, like probabilistic forwarding or dandelion routing. While the protocol has no limits in the use cases, streaming and gaming dApps will be among the top gainers, as the Marlin solution offers dynamic traffic steering, forward error correction (FEC), and path conditioning functionalities. These features, along with Proof-of-Availability and Proof-of-Bandwidth check make sure that the network is reliable and secure for data operations.
