The world’s first browser extension to access the Liquid Network
We are thrilled to announce one of our most exciting ventures to date — Marina. Marina is the ultimate gateway designed to access the Liquid Network directly from your browser.

Web developers can benefit from Marina integration as a plug-and-play solution to integrate Liquid Network into their browser applications. …
