Marinade Native is a first-of-its-kind Solana staking product launched in July, 2023 that combines the security and fully non-custodial nature of Native staking with the decentralized, high-performance delegation strategy of Marinade.
With Marinade Native, you don’t have to keep an eye on the performance of the validator you’re staking with. Marinade’s industry-leading, algorithmic delegation strategy is always watching and rebalancing your stake to ensure the very best long-term SOL staking rewards.
In its first two months, Marinade Native already has over 2.2 million SOL stake from 600+ wallets, including stake accounts as large as +1 million SOL.
Case study: Why use Marinade’s automated staking
The stake works by delegating your SOL “stake authority” to the Marinade stake bot from the Marinade dApp. Marinade then instantly and efficiently creates stake accounts for all the 100+validators in the delegation strategy.
Each epoch, up to 4% of the stake is rebalanced and distributed to the top-performing validators. The lowest performers are dropped.
Do you have locked SOL stake from Solana Foundation grants or early investment? Marinade Native is eligible for accounts with locked SOL stake. Simply connect your wallet to the Marinade dApp with your locked SOL and you can redelegate your stake to Native instantly.
