🪙Merlin Token ($MRLN)
The Utility Token Powering the Project Merlin Ecosystem
Merlin Token (MRLN) is the native utility token of the Project Merlin ecosystem. It is designed exclusively to enable access to services, participate in governance, and unlock platform-specific features within Project Merlin’s multi-chain infrastructure.
MRLN is not intended as a financial investment or speculative asset. Instead, it serves as the functional currency that connects all four core platforms—Project Merlin DAO, Freelify.io, Taskium.io, and Funddex.io—into a unified Web3 environment.
By holding and using MRLN, participants can:
Submit proposals and applications for startup funding.
Vote on ecosystem decisions through the Vote2Earn mechanism.
Access exclusive community benefits, NFT ownership rights, and gated services.
Pay for products and services offered within the Project Merlin ecosystem.
This structure ensures that the token’s demand is based on real, recurring utility rather than external market speculation.
