What Marinade Staked Sol is
Marinade Staked Sol (MSOL) is a liquid-staking / restaking derivative token, currently ranked 117th by market capitalization among the assets we track. Rather than locking assets to stake, holders of Marinade Staked Sol hold a liquid claim on a staked position. That claim earns yield and can be redeployed, which is why liquid-staking tokens became DeFi collateral staples.
Marinade Staked Sol (MSOL) is a token that represents staked SOL on the Marinade Finance platform, allowing users to earn rewards while maintaining liquidity. It enables seamless participation in the Solana ecosystem while benefiting from staking rewards.
How the yield and peg work
Holding Marinade Staked Sol is holding staking yield in liquid form. The main risks are the staking provider's smart contracts and any divergence between the token's market price and the redeemable value of the stake.
MSOL is not mined; it is issued as a token rather than secured by its own mining or staking layer.

How to evaluate a liquid-staking token like Marinade Staked Sol
For an asset of this type, three lenses matter most:
