About
Marinade is a Solana staking platform that lets individuals and institutions delegate SOL to top-performing validators through an automated, non-custodial system. It offers both native staking and liquid staking (mSOL), with a Stake Auction Marketplace where validators bid for stake each epoch to maximize rewards. The protocol is SOC 2 certified, audited by multiple security firms, and governed by a community DAO via the MNDE token.
Problem
SOL holders struggle to find the best validators and maximize staking rewards while managing risk and maintaining liquidity
For
Crypto holders, institutions, and family offices seeking to stake Solana (SOL) for optimized rewards
How it works
Users connect their wallet and delegate SOL to Marinade, which automatically distributes stake across top-performing validators selected via a bidding marketplace, and optionally issues mSOL liquid staking tokens for use in DeFi
