Marinade was born out of the trying to accomplish a similar goal: offer a liquid staking solution on Solana that participates to the decentralization of the network and its security.
The teams joined forces to work more efficiently towards making this idea a reality. Marinade formed around a set of values and a common objective and started building.
To onboard the next 1 billion people to crypto, we believe that the user experience must dramatically evolve and adapt to the needs of more users.
While early adopters don’t care about writing down seeds and pin codes for multiple wallets, storing it around their house, or burying it in the ground, we can’t imagine a world where this is still a standard after 5, 10, or 20 years.
That’s why we emphasize having our solution well-designed, seamless, and a pleasure to use — so that a friend can tell a friend that staking is as easy as clicking a button.
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.
