What is POND

1. Project Introduction
Marlin is a verifiable computation protocol designed to scale decentralized computation through a scalable co-processor architecture. It leverages zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) and trusted execution environments (TEEs) to ensure the security and privacy of data processing across distributed networks, while maintaining the decentralized nature of computation. Marlin enables trustless off-chain servers to handle on-chain application execution in a transparent, scalable, and fault-tolerant manner. It offers developers access to computational resources such as CPUs and GPUs (including Intel SGX and AI accelerators like NVIDIA H100), while keeping hardware requirements for node operators relatively low compared to other blockchain compute protocols.
2. Team & Investment Info
Siddhartha Dutta: Founder of Marlin; former core developer at Zilliqa; prior experience includes roles at Microsoft, Inria, Adobe Research. Graduate of the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT).
Funding: In 2019, Marlin raised $3 million in a seed round with participation from Binance Labs, Arrington XRP Capital, Electric Capital, and NGC Ventures.
