Solana DeFi 2.0 is just getting started 🫡

🎙️ New @Edge_Pod ! 🌊 On Solana, DeFi is synonymous with @MarinadeFinance 's popular SOL LST--mSOL. 🧑‍🌾 Discover how Marinade grew from a humble hackathon project in 2021, with no VC round, into Solana's top staking protocol!

We've integrated the @MarinadeFinance SDK, allowing you to withdraw all your staked accounts in just one click. However, we advise against doing so, as Marinade is DOPE. 🦖

PSR: Enterprise-grade staking performance. Democratized.

This week @StepFinance_ updated their portfolio dashboard to bundle all the Marinade Native stake accounts into one line in the Validator Staking section. 🤌 Looking good!

Marinade was not affected by this Ledger exploit

Great to see more and more SPL tokens supported on @coinbase alongside MNDE, mSOL, and others. Welcome BONK!

Solana DeFi is cooking! Marinade is hosting a Spaces with brand-new options protocol @SDX_markets . mSOL is the first SPL token available to trade on SDX and we're excited to learn more about the all-new platform. Set reminder and tune in:

🚨 Airdrop scams are going around for MNDE among many other Solana protocols right now. Do not participate in these. There is no airdrop but instead a claim period on the official Marinade site in January. Here's one example. Be safe everyone,

20M SOL stake offline for an hour equals 167 SOL loss in staking rewards for the delegators. Irreversible. You're about to witness how the Marinade DAO is about to challenge this status quo and take staking to the next level. #OPOS

The largest Solana DeFi protocol has 10X'd in the last 45 days and a lot of people still don't talk about it Here's a deep dive on $MNDE and Marinade:

New to Marinade? When you visit the dApp, there's a choice between Liquid and Native staking. Liquid gets you mSOL which can be used in DeFi. Native utilizes the same optimized delegation strategy but without the liquid staking smart contract and mSOL. Both earn MNDE thru…
