🧙‍♂️Welcome to Project Merlin

This GitBook will guide you through how Project Merlin works, how to use its features, and how you can benefit as a member of the community.

Project Merlin is a decentralized Web3 ecosystem built to help startups grow and communities participate in decision-making.

We believe that building in Web3 should be simple, fair, and community-driven. That’s why we’ve created a modular platform where people can:

  • Submit and fund startup ideas

  • Work or hire through freelance tools

  • Join decentralized voting

  • Discover new projects early and support their growth.

  • Launch and support new projects

Whether you're an entrepreneur, developer, investor, or simply someone curious about Web3, Project Merlin gives you the tools to get involved and make an impact.

All activities in Project Merlin are powered by our native token: $MRLN.

What is Project Merlin?

Project Merlin is a modular, decentralized ecosystem that empowers entrepreneurs, investors, and communities by combining blockchain infrastructure with DAO-driven governance. Built around four core platforms Crowdfunding, GIG Freelance Marketplace, Community Engagement, and IDO Launchpad it offers an end-to-end Web3 framework covering idea submission, evaluation, funding, execution, and community growth.

Powered by its native utility token $MRLN, Project Merlin introduces a reward-based economic model that encourages long-term participation, transparent governance, and equitable value distribution. With functional extensions such as Freelify, Taskium, and Funddex, the ecosystem eliminates dependence on fragmented third-party tools, providing seamless access to talent, funding, and services in a single unified platform.

Our mission is to create a fair, secure, and self-sustaining digital environment where blockchain ventures thrive, community voices are heard, and decentralized technologies reach their full potential. As a strong advocate for Web3 decentralization, Project Merlin supports the transition from traditional centralized systems to community-led, transparent governance empowering users while minimizing systemic bias in the digital economy.

💡What do we do?

Project Merlin brings together the most important parts of Web3 into a single platform. We:

  1. Help startups raise funds from the community: Founders can submit their project ideas through our system, and the community decides which ones receive funding using a fair, transparent voting process.

  2. Allow anyone to vote on which projects should be supported: Every community member with an NFT can participate in governance by reviewing startup proposals and voting on them directly on-chain.

  3. Reward users for their participation through a point-based system (Vote2Earn): We believe active users deserve to be rewarded. Our Vote2Earn system gives points for each voting action, which can be converted into $MRLN tokens.

  4. Offer freelance and task tools for talent and project execution: Through our platforms like Freelify and Taskium, startups can hire skilled contributors and manage their work without leaving the ecosystem.

  5. Provide a launchpad for new Web3 tokens: Projects that successfully complete funding and development can launch their own tokens through our built-in IDO launchpad.

All of this happens within a secure, decentralized environmentfully controlled by the DAO, not by a central authority.

While Project Merlin does all this, community members participating in the processes also earn Merlin Tokens and tokens from other projects. Keep reading to learn what you can gain by joining the Project Merlin community filled with earning opportunities.
