BitGo Partners with Marinade to Boost Solana Staking
The collaboration will allow clients to stake Solana (SOL) directly from their wallets, combining safety, control, and attractive rewards under one roof, according to the official blog post.
Instead of traditional staking methods, where assets are handed over to a single validator, Marinade Native leverages a dynamic system.
Through its Stake Auction Marketplace (SAM), multiple validators compete to offer the best rewards. This mechanism often results in higher payouts for users, all while BitGo clients maintain full custody of their tokens. It is a major advantage in today’s security-conscious crypto world.
Another unique feature is Marinade’s Protected Staking Rewards (PSR). It functions as a safety net. If a validator underperforms, stakers are reimbursed for any lost rewards.
Validators commit to this protection through an on-chain bond, which ensures accountability across the network.
“BitGo is committed to providing the best infrastructure and highest potential rewards for our clients to engage with Solana’s explosive growth. Through our integration with Marinade, our clients can stake Solana with confidence while contributing to the decentralization and security of the network,” Jake O., Head of Ecosystem Sales at BitGo, said.
Michael Repetný, CEO of Marinade Labs, remarked, “BitGo clients maintain complete control of their assets while staking with Marinade and contribute significantly to the security and decentralization of the Solana blockchain thanks to the automatic delegation of their stake to a diverse set of well-vetted, high-performing validators.”
“This integration with BitGo is a testament to how far staking, especially institutional-level staking on Solana, has come. It’s now a core component of institutional cryptoasset investment strategies,” Hadley Stern, CCO at Marinade Labs, stated.
