**Marinade and BitGo are setting a new standard for institutional staking on Solana.**

Thanks to Marinade’s newly achieved SOC 2 Type I compliance, and BitGo’s leadership in qualified custody, institutions can now stake Solana securely — with full custody, compliance, and industry-leading rewards.

With over $100B in assets under custody, BitGo is the first U.S.-qualified custodian to integrate Marinade Native, enabling non-custodial staking at institutional scale.

This partnership delivers the trust, transparency, and performance institutions require — without compromise.

## Institutional Staking with Full Custody and SOC 2 Compliance

Marinade Native is a non-custodial staking solution that allows BitGo clients to stake SOL directly from their wallets — without giving up control. This integration is purpose-built for institutional needs and delivers both performance and security.

🔐 **SOC 2 Type I certified**, Marinade’s operational and security controls are independently verified to meet rigorous institutional standards.  
  
🏛️ **Qualified U.S. custody** is provided through BitGo’s regulated infrastructure, ensuring compliance at every step.  
  
📈 Clients earn **high staking rewards**, powered by Marinade’s Stake Auction Marketplace (SAM), which routes SOL to top-performing validators.  
  
🛡️ With **Protected Staking Rewards (PSR)**, shortfalls from underperforming validators are covered — so returns remain consistent.  
  
🌍 The protocol also reinforces decentralization, as stake is automatically distributed across a diverse, high-quality validator set.  
  
🚫 There’s **no smart contract risk** — SOL never leaves your custody or enters third-party contracts.  
  
🧩 And everything is accessible via a **streamlined UX**, fully integrated into the BitGo wallet interface.



> “BitGo clients can now stake Solana securely while contributing to decentralization — and earn industry-leading rewards without giving up custody,” said Jake O., Head of Ecosystem Sales at BitGo.

## A New Standard for Institutional Staking on Solana

Marinade’s SOC 2 Type I certification marks a key step in aligning with institutional security and compliance expectations — reinforcing trust for clients managing large or regulated positions.

> “By combining Marinade’s decentralized staking protocol with BitGo’s regulatory-grade custody, we’re delivering a secure, transparent staking experience that institutions have been waiting for,” said Hadley Stern, CCO at Marinade Labs. “And now, with our SOC 2 compliance in place, we’re raising the bar for institutional-grade infrastructure on Solana.”

With more than **4.48 million SOL already staked through Marinade Native**, this partnership strengthens the case for Solana as an institutional-ready blockchain.
