Project Merlin

Project Merlin is a modular, DAO-governed Web3 ecosystem designed to support the full lifecycle of blockchain startups—covering ideation, funding, execution, and community engagement—within a single decentralized platform. The ecosystem is structured around four integrated pillars: Crowdfunding: Startups submit proposals via the Raven Message mechanism, paying a submission fee in $MRLN. Proposals are reviewed and ranked through a transparent, on-chain voting system. GIG Freelance Marketplace: Platforms like Freelify and Taskium provide verified talent sourcing and task execution without relying on external services. Community Engagement: NFT-based governance and the Vote2Earn system incentivize active participation. Users earn points by completing voting tasks, which convert into token rewards. IDO Launchpad: Select projects can raise capital within the ecosystem, benefitting from DAO-driven visibility and community support.
