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.
