## POND (Marlin) — Overview

POND is the utility token of **Marlin**, a blockchain network that in recent times has pivoted toward cross-chain connectivity and an off-chain coprocessor product called **Oyster**, which provides verifiable off-chain computation via Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) [[1]](https://coinmarketcap.com/cmc-ai/marlin/latest-updates/). Marlin also actively engages the Ethereum developer community around TEE and confidential-compute architecture [[1]](https://coinmarketcap.com/cmc-ai/marlin/latest-updates/). As of our own snapshot (2026-10-17 04:25Z), POND-USD trades around **$0.001589**, down ~13.5% in 24 hours and ranked ~#1008 by market cap [our data; LIB-style]. Note that source [[1]](https://coinmarketcap.com/cmc-ai/marlin/latest-updates/) is an **AI-generated CoinMarketCap ("cmc-ai") insights page**, so its figures and labels should be treated as directional rather than authoritative, and some internal numbers (e.g., RSI values) are internally inconsistent [[1]](https://coinmarketcap.com/cmc-ai/marlin/latest-updates/).
