Marinade fee structure

A clear breakdown of deposit, unstake, and performance fees across Marinade products, including governance control and current rates

Deposit Fee

There is no deposit fee for any of the following Marinade staking options:
  • Marinade Native
  • Marinade Select
  • Marinade Liquid

Unstake Fee

  • Instant Unstake:
    • No fee.
  • Delayed Unstake (1-epoch delay):

    • A 0.1% fee applies, but only for Marinade Liquid (mSOL).

    • This fee is designed to discourage "toxic flow" behavior.
    • The fee is redistributed to all mSOL holders, effectively benefiting long-term stakers in the system.

Performance Fee

Marinade is moving toward a standardized 9.5% performance fee across all products.
Until that is fully implemented, the fee structure is as follows:
  • Marinade Select:
    • 30 basis points (bps) annually, fixed.
  • Stake Auction Market (SAM):
    • 50% fee on bid flow (the amount validators pay to receive stake).
    • 0% fee on staking rewards.

Fee Governance Overview

  • These fees can be adjusted by the Marinade Council.
  • DAO governance only applies to parameters within SAM, such as validator performance fees.
  • Additional fee structures or updates may be introduced through governance as the protocol evolves.
