Join Project Merlin’s $MRLN IDO on CoinTerminal

Project Merlin is a modular, multichain Web3 ecosystem designed to bring startups, talent, and communities together under one roof. Instead of relying on fragmented third-party services, Merlin integrates funding, freelancing, engagement, and token launches into a single DAO-governed framework.

Now, it’s launching its $MRLN token through a fully refundable, open-access IDO on CoinTerminal, and you’re invited to join.

CoinTerminal requires no staking or lockups. Simply connect your wallet, complete KYC, and you can contribute. Contribute 250 USDT+ and enter this month’s super-sized $10,000 lottery,  doubled from $5,000 for this draw; eligibility remains even if you later request a refund.

This is a first-come, first-served sale with no cap per user. Once your KYC is approved, you can contribute while the sale is live.

Project Overview

The problem Merlin addresses is simple but urgent: Web3 loses value every time builders depend on external platforms for essentials like talent sourcing, crowdfunding, or off-ramp services. Value leaks out instead of staying in the ecosystem.

Merlin’s solution is to provide a complete environment where the people who already live and work online (developers, designers, marketers, freelancers, investors, and communities) can fund, build, and scale projects without leaving Web3.

That’s the “magic” of Merlin: it’s not just launching another token, it’s creating an economic loop where projects are funded, communities are rewarded, and contributors earn, all inside the same ecosystem.

Merlin combines:

• Raven Messages for crowdfunding and proposals
• Freelify.io for hiring and gigs (bridging traditional freelancing with Web3)
• Taskium.io for community engagement and gamified rewards
• Funddex.io for IDO launches with built-in liquidity

With DAO governance, Vote2Earn incentives, and cross-chain tools spanning EVM and Solana, Merlin turns what used to be scattered services into one interoperable infrastructure for builders and communities.

Key Features

Raven Messages (Crowdfunding)

This is the official way to submit proposals to the DAO. Each Raven Message is a structured form that represents a funding request or project pitch. Unlike casual voting, these messages carry weight; they enter formal review and can remain valid across multiple voting cycles until selected. It’s crowdfunding built directly into the ecosystem.

Freelify.io (Talent Sourcing)

A gig marketplace that connects Web3 projects with freelance talent, mirroring platforms like Upwork but governed by the DAO. Freelancers can be paid in $MRLN, and projects can use custodial tracking and credits to manage work securely. It’s the bridge for professionals already earning online to transition into Web3.

Taskium.io (Engagement Hub)

A gamified arena where users complete tasks, support projects, and earn Vote2Earn rewards. Taskium lowers the barrier for community participation: whether someone wants quick wins or sustained engagement, their actions feed directly into ecosystem growth.

Funddex.io (IDO Launchpad)

DAO-selected projects can raise capital through Funddex with built-in DEX integration. Participants get priority access, while projects benefit from service credits and fair funding mechanics via Camelot and Excalibur.

Cross-Chain Infrastructure & Custodial Wallets

Merlin runs across major EVM chains (Arbitrum, BNB, Polygon, Optimism, Base, Avalanche) and Solana. Its native bridge uses mint-and-burn mechanics to maintain token supply balance. Custodial wallets simplify asset transfers and governance across chains.

DAO Governance & Vote2Earn

Every community member can participate in governance through NFTs and the $MRLN token. Voting is incentivized through Vote2Earn, turning passive users into active stakeholders and aligning rewards with informed participation.

$MRLN Token Utility

• Unlock DAO voting and presale access
• Submit project proposals and pay platform fees
• Payment token across Freelify, Taskium, and Funddex
• Earn through Vote2Earn, loyalty rewards, and treasury distributions
• Operate cross-chain via the Merlin Bridge
• Access exclusive benefits, including presales, rewards, and governance rights

Revenue Model

Project Merlin generates revenue from:

• Raven Message submission fees
• NFT sales and royalties
• Service fees across Freelify, Taskium, and Funddex
• Cross-chain transaction fees
• Future platform expansions and launchpad success fees

All revenue flows into the Merlin Treasury, which funds DAO proposals, grants, operations, and community rewards. A distribution cap ensures sustainable growth and avoids overspending, keeping the ecosystem self-sustaining.
