Marinade
Automated SOL staking — Earn More, Stay in Control.
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.
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
Crypto holders, institutions, and family offices seeking to stake Solana (SOL) for optimized rewards
