What Is Marinade Trade?

Marinade Trade is an upcoming feature that lets you use your staked SOL to trade without unstaking it first. What it does, when it launches, and how to get notified safely.

Written by Johnny

Marinade Trade is an upcoming feature. It is not live yet, and you can sign up at app.marinade.finance/trade to be notified at launch.

It lets you use your staked SOL to trade without unstaking it first.


What will it let me do?

Three things:

  • Swap a staked position for another Solana asset. Turn a Solana stake account or a liquid staking token into any on-chain asset, and back again, in one step.

  • Trade on margin with your stake as collateral. Take long or short positions while your SOL stays staked.

  • Skip the unstake wait. Instant unstake settles the trade behind the scenes, so you do not wait an epoch to free up your position first.

Your SOL keeps earning staking rewards right up to the moment you trade.


Is it available now?

No. Marinade Trade is coming soon and there is no launch date yet. Nothing has changed about your current positions, and there is nothing you need to do.


How do I get notified?

Enter your email on app.marinade.finance/trade.

If you get an email about Marinade Trade, check the sender address ends in @marinade.finance. Anything from another domain is not from us, no matter how closely it copies our branding. We will never ask for your seed phrase or private key, and we will never ask you to connect your wallet anywhere other than app.marinade.finance. See Beware of Fake Marinade Tokens.


What will it cost, and which assets will be supported?

Pricing and the full asset list will be confirmed closer to launch. We will update this article then.


Does this change how staking or unstaking works today?

No. Marinade Native, Marinade Liquid, and existing unstake options are unaffected. See Unstake Your Marinade SOL Position.
