What Is USDG Strategy?

Overview of Marinade’s strategy that lets you stake SOL and earn rewards in USDG stablecoin.

Written by CopyCat

The USDG strategy lets you stake SOL through Marinade and receive your staking rewards in USDG, a dollar-pegged stablecoin, instead of additional SOL.

Key points:

  • Your principal stays in SOL and is delegated via Marinade’s native staking across a set of validators.

  • The yield from that SOL is periodically converted into USDG.

  • Your yield accumulates in a stable asset while your base position remains in SOL.

This strategy is useful if you:

  • Want to keep price exposure to SOL on your principal,

  • Prefer to receive more stable, dollar-denominated rewards, and

  • Don’t want to manually swap staking rewards into a stablecoin every epoch.

Rewards are usually distributed once per Solana epoch, which is roughly every 2 days.
