Stake automation on Solana — maximise SOL rewards while supporting network decentralisation.
Marinade is a stake automation platform that maximises SOL staking rewards while supporting the decentralisation and performance of Solana. It continuously monitors the validator landscape and delegates stake across a transparently selected set of high-performance validators. Users can stake SOL natively or via liquid staking for mSOL, a tokenised version of staked SOL — both use the same delegation logic and earn rewards every epoch (~2 days). Additional options include Marinade Select (a vetted validator set), Marinade Recipes (native staking that keeps SOL as principal and pays rewards in a token of choice), Marinade Borrow (borrow against staked SOL without unstaking) and a USDC Earn Vault that deploys idle USDC into Solana lending markets. Marinade formed from the merger of two teams pursuing the same goal: liquid staking that strengthens network security and decentralisation.

With 200ms slots, epochs got shorter. The auction now runs about once a day. Around 1% of TVL rebalances per epoch, so stake moves steadily toward better offers. https://t.co/n0ERoHfl1W
The same auction places the stake behind Marinade Native and mSOL. With Native, your SOL stays in a stake account only your wallet can withdraw. With mSOL, you hold a liquid token you can use across DeFi. Start at https://marinade.finance Full mechanics: https://docs.marinade.finance/marinade-protocol/protocol-overview/stake-auction-market
Marinade Native: 5.04% APY Solana network average: 4.89% APY The gap comes from one auction behind both Marinade Native and mSOL. Validators compete for your stake every day, and the best offers win it. How the Stake Auction Marketplace works 🧵 https://t.co/SPyn6Y672l
Q3 Active Staking Rewards are live. If you staked MNDE on the governance page and voted at least once in the past 12 months, you can claim now. The window is open until 1 April 2027.

Community sentiment is generally positive toward Marinade, with users appreciating its technical innovations like the Borrow feature and novel staking mechanics. Some constructive criticism exists regarding validator transparency, while security researchers have identified and praised the platform for catching exploit patterns.
Been looking into Marinade and I think validator transparency is worth discussing. How can users easily verify why validators qualify for Marinade Select? I shared a suggestion on TokenGems. Curious to hear your thoughts 👇💜 https://t.co/Pgi38hmEVO @MarinadeFinance @tokengems
Commission flip exploit exposed and Marinade Explore catching it https://t.co/2cViuva0EM
@MarinadeFinance launched Marinade Borrow, enabling users to borrow USDC or SOL directly against staked SOL without unstaking
@azikmund @MarinadeFinance Definitely love what you do. Keep it up 💪
@MarinadeFinance daily auction with bonds behind every bid is still wild stake design
@MarinadeFinance this is wild pattern honestly keeping track through tools is essential now
