Stream Token (STVVT) rewards users for watching content on-chain. No other L1 blockchain ships this feature natively. Zero gas fees.
Run a living browser pet experience with care loops, actions, inventory, accessories and wallet-ready identity inside the MARBLE app surface.
Found kingdoms, battle rivals, earn ACID tokens โ a full turn-based strategy game where every action is a signed on-chain transaction.
docker run marbleblockchain/node:latest โ start earning MARBLE as a validator with zero configuration. Available to anyone, anywhere.
Unique P2PKH addresses starting with "N" โ instantly recognizable, cryptographically verified, and built with future chain renaming in mind.
Two-way asset bridge between Marble and Solana baked into the core protocol. Swap MARBLE โ SOL without trusting a third-party custodian.
The numbers in a table only go so far. Open the wallet, create an address, request an airdrop, and see for yourself โ in under 60 seconds.
