Marinade is a stake automation platform that helps you maximize SOL staking rewards while supporting the decentralization and performance of the Solana network. It continuously monitors the validator landscape and delegates your stake across a carefully selected set of high-performance validators using an open, transparent strategy.

Users can stake their SOL either natively or through liquid staking for mSOL, a tokenized version of staked SOL. Both methods use the same validator delegation logic and receive rewards every epoch (approximately every 2–3 days).

Marinade was born out of the merger of two projects trying to accomplish a similar goal: offer a liquid staking solution on Solana that participates to the decentralization of the network and its security.

The teams joined forces to work more efficiently towards making this idea a reality. Marinade formed around a set of values and a common objective and started building.

To onboard the next 1 billion people to crypto, we believe that the user experience must dramatically evolve and adapt to the needs of more users.

While early adopters don’t care about writing down seeds and pin codes for multiple wallets, storing it around their house, or burying it in the ground, we can’t imagine a world where this is still a standard after 5, 10, or 20 years.

That’s why we emphasize having our solution well-designed, seamless, and a pleasure to use, so that a friend can tell a friend that staking is as easy as clicking a button.
