# Keep 100% of your staking rewards

> No deposit fee, no fee on your epoch rewards — Marinade only charges when you unstake.

Canonical HTML: https://app.marinade.finance/learn/keep-100-of-your-staking-rewards/

- **0% deposit fee.** Staking with Marinade is free.

- **0% on rewards.** You keep 100% of what your stake earns, every epoch.

- **Fee only on unstake.** A flat 0.003 SOL Native delayed-unstake fee (0.2% on Liquid/mSOL), dynamic pricing (0.10–0.40%) for Instant Unstake.

## What you'll never pay

**No deposit fee.** Staking with Marinade is free across Native and Liquid.

**No fee on your staking rewards.** Your rewards land in full, every epoch (~2 days).

## Unstake fees

Marinade charges fees on unstake, not on rewards. This keeps your APY clean and shifts protocol revenue to the moment you actually leave.

## Delayed Unstake (1-epoch wait)

Marinade Native charges a flat **0.003 SOL** fee. Liquid (mSOL) charges **0.2%**.

You get predictable pricing and your SOL back after one epoch.

## Instant Unstake

Skip the epoch wait, exit in seconds.

**Native positions with any reward type (USDG, USDT, USDC):** dynamic pricing, typically 0.10% to 0.40%. The UI quote already includes the total cost, including any spread in $

**Liquid (mSOL):** no protocol fee. This is a swap rather than a true unstake, so price impact may apply depending on size and liquidity.

## Performance fees

None. You keep 100% of staking rewards across SOL staking - Marinade Native and Liquid.

USDC Vault works differently from SOL staking. There's no deposit or withdrawal fee, and Marinade only takes a cut of the yield it generates for you.  
**5% performance fee on net interest.**

E.g.: If your position earns $1,000 in interest, a $50 fee comes off the top and you keep $950. The fee is already reflected in the net APY shown in the UI, so what you see is what you earn.

## Where the revenue goes

Protocol revenue is allocated by the Marinade DAO through governance proposals.

After MIP-17, the DAO moved away from automatic MNDE buybacks toward funding liquidity, stability, and long-term growth. Today, revenue supports:

- Liquidity provisioning

- Ecosystem development and operations

- MNDE initiatives, including buybacks when the DAO approves them

You can track every allocation on the Hextech Dashboard and the Marinade Realms Treasury.
