Read Stories from the Kitchen
Stay up to date on how Marinade is cooking up new recipes to deliver a prosperous Solana ecosystem.
Explore the Solana staking network
Explore is live, replacing the Network page and giving every validator on Solana its own page. Compare validators on take rate rather than commission, and check a per-epoch record of incidents before you stake.
MNDE: the Marinade governance token
MNDE gives holders a vote over Marinade's stake pool, delegation strategy, and treasury. Tokenomics, distribution, Active Staking Rewards, and where to trade and track the token.
Solana Staking Index (SSI)
An open-source, protocol-neutral benchmark that tracks the baseline native staking yield of the Solana network, recalculated every epoch from on-chain issuance and block rewards. What SSI measures, why it excludes MEV, and how to use it as a yardstick for your own staking returns.
Solana's validator admission ticket: what a missing BLS key costs
Since the first slot of epoch 1006, Solana builds its leader schedule and inflation reward distribution only from validators that have registered a BLS public key. A validator with no registered key gets no leader slots and no inflation rewards, and the stake delegated to it earns nothing either.
What's new on the Portfolio page
The revamped Portfolio page ships three quality-of-life upgrades: a performance chart on by default, mSOL in your wallet balance, and in-app send and receive for any Solana token.
Marinade Borrow, explained
Borrow against your staked SOL without giving up staking rewards. A clear look at how Marinade Borrow works, what every number on screen means, and what to check before opening a position.
Solana Instant Unstake: Exit Native Staking Instantly
Skip Solana's 2-day unstake cooldown. Marinade Instant Unstake converts native stake accounts to SOL in one atomic transaction through a competitive market-maker RFQ. No liquid token required.
Solana staking glossary: 50+ terms explained
A plain-English glossary of Solana staking terms, from epochs, validators, and APY to liquid staking, MEV, SAM, and the Solana Staking Index. Clear, self-contained definitions for beginners and pros.
