Scammers sometimes create fake tokens on Solana that pretend to be connected to Marinade. These tokens may use names similar to MNDE, mSOL, or other Marinade-related branding to trick users into interacting with them.
In some cases, these tokens may even appear directly in your wallet even though they are not official Marinade tokens.
Why this happens
Anyone can create a token on Solana. Because of this, malicious actors sometimes create tokens with names that resemble legitimate projects like Marinade.
These fake tokens may:
Use names similar to MNDE, mSOL, or Marinade
Be sent directly to your wallet
Include misleading names, websites, or links
Attempt to trick users into swapping or interacting with them
Some wallets may eventually mark these tokens as unverified or suspicious, but it can take time before they are detected and labeled.
How to verify Marinade tokens
Before interacting with any token claiming to be related to Marinade, always verify it through our official resources.

Safety tips
To stay safe:
Always verify tokens through Marinade’s official documentation
Do not trust tokens simply because they use the name MNDE, mSOL, or Marinade
Ignore random tokens sent to your wallet
Do not connect your wallet to unknown websites
Do not approve transactions you do not fully understand
