High-performance networking for the decentralized ecosystem
Marlin is passing the torch of its Polygon validator slot to Chorus One, a veteran in staking infrastructure.
Chorus One will continue supporting mev-bor while we focus on what we do best, building the web3 infra stack ⚒

Bridge POND & MPond from Arbitrum to Ethereum
Earlier this year, the Marlin network successfully migrated from Ethereum to Arbitrum.
To ensure a smooth transition, the token bridges were initially one-way. Starting today, $POND & $MPond on Arbitrum can be bridged back to Ethereum.

A week in review for our Flashbots MEV relay on Polygon
🔍 Usage:
Since going public, we've seen a steady increase in requests by MEV searchers.
In the last 72 hours alone, we've received over 30k requests & successfully delivered approx 7.5k bundles to our validator node.
⚙️ It works:
⚖️ mev-bor is stable.
💯 No issues with our node.
🧠 Validation for other nodes to run mev-bor.
💰 MEV Stats on Polygon:
https://explore.marlin.org/
Daily observed MEV (till Oct 2021) was ~$120k.
We're in the process of updating our dashboard with other insightful analytics which will be shared on the regular.
🔭 Planning ahead:
The goal behind running our 0% commission node on Polygon has always been to showcase mev-bor's stability and convey usage.
The longer mev-bor runs (while capturing value), the easier it is to onboard more validators.
Reach out on Discord to hop aboard.

The Flashbots relay on Polygon is live!
Bundles can be sent to https://bor.txrelay.marlin.org/.
Blocks produced by validator 106 will be following the Flashbots spec. The node produces around 8% of the blocks in the Polygon POS network.
The relay currently only accepts bundles with up to 5 transactions with a cumulative gas limit of 1M gas. These limits are expected to go up in the future as we collect more metrics regarding usage & capacity requirements.

Did a cool feature update to the MEV dashboard for Polygon!
Track how much extra MATIC validators received by running mev-bor, the flashbots client for Polygon, built and maintained by Marlin.
Just yesterday, InfStones got 248% more fees on blocks with MEV bundles.

Exciting news for MEV extractooors, MATIC delegators and validators on Polygon 🚀
The Marlin node on Polygon has received more than 165m MATIC in delegations!
What does it mean for you? 🧵👇
👁 For MEV searchers:
The node is producing ~8% of Polygon blocks at the moment. This will grow as more validators switch to the mev-bor implementation or as the Marlin node receives more MATIC delegations.
However, 8% seems to be sufficient for searchers to get started.
We successfully landed our first single transaction bundles on Feb 12:
https://polygonscan.com/tx/0x95a6c3f8f9c5d43bd28031965bd898d42b9ccca6101156b87e0402ef5db1a416

And also a multi transaction bundle:

🐟 For Polygon validators:
mev-bor is running smoothly. It has been producing blocks and been in consensus as expected. We expect mev-bor to generate substantial revenue for validators.
Ping Shabbir on Telegram (@shabbirs) or Discord (shabbirs#6919) for onboarding help!
💯 For DApps:
DApps which would benefit from the ability to prioritize transactions or use a private relay are invited to reach out to us to explore integration possibilities!
The Flashbots relay on Polygon will go live on Feb 21st once spam & DoS protection is made more robust.
