Protocol Overview
Marinade.Finance was built to bring to life a vision. A non-custodial liquid staking solution on Solana, decentralizing the network.
What can you do on Marinade?
Marinade offers flexible staking options and tools to manage your SOL across different formats:
Stake SOL or deposit a stake account directly into Marinade while retaining full control. Your stake stays entirely on-chain and is automatically delegated through Marinade’s Stake Auction Marketplace, which matches stake with high-performing validators in a permissionless, market-driven process.
You can also migrate your existing native staked accounts into Marinade to benefit from automated delegation and performance optimization.
A premium staking set powered by Marinade. It includes a vetted group of community-recognized validators that meet strict criteria for performance, compliance, and decentralization.
Designed for users who want a high-trust, simplified staking experience without actively managing validator selection.
Stake SOL or deposit a stake account to receive mSOL, a liquid staking token that can be used throughout the Solana DeFi ecosystem.
You can also swap other liquid staking tokens into mSOL, or convert mSOL and other staking positions back to SOL through immediate or delayed unstaking.
