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.
With Marinade, you can start staking or depositing existing stake accounts with one click and get back your tokenized stake in the form of mSOL. It just takes another click to put mSOL in action in DeFi — add it as liquidity to an AMM, deposit to a lending protocol, and borrow stablecoin against it.. all while receiving staking rewards simultaneously.
By allowing people to use DeFi while staking and helping the network, we believe we are creating opportunities for many people.
For reference, more than 390,000,000 SOL tokens are locked in staking at this point. If we were to unlock and make liquid 10 % of these staked assets, we’re looking at $6B TVL to be put into the Solana DeFi world.
