Marinade emerged from the Solana ecosystem through a Solana Hackathon grant and launched its liquid staking protocol and mSOL token on mainnet in August 2021. The protocol offers two staking modes: Marinade Native staking and Marinade Liquid staking, with users receiving mSOL in exchange for staked SOL. mSOL can be deployed across Solana DeFi applications, and is listed on exchanges including Coinbase Exchange, Gate, Orca, Raydium, and Jupiter.
Marinade is governed by the Marinade DAO via its MNDE governance token, which launched as a fair-launch token with no ICO. MNDE holders control DAO fees and treasury decisions. The DAO migrated governance to Realms in July 2023, enabling direct on-chain control by MNDE holders. A DAO-approved burn reduced MNDE's current supply to 700,000,000 MNDE following a 300,000,000 MNDE burn on September 5, 2025.
Marinade holds SOC 2 Type I and SOC 2 Type II certification and has completed multiple independent third-party audits and a code review. The protocol maintains an Immunefi bug bounty program offering up to USD 250,000 for critical smart-contract vulnerabilities, with payouts made in mSOL and MNDE. Institutional integrations include custody and wallet providers such as Fireblocks, Anchorage, BitGo, Coinbase, Ledger, and Phantom, among others.
