· Stake Auction
For Solana validators

Bid your break-even.
Win only the green epochs.

Winners pay the auction price, not their bid. Set your max bid to what Marinade stake earns you, and you win stake only in epochs where it pays. Every other epoch you sit out and pay nothing.

Computed from your own on-chain rewards. Nothing to sign.

epochs won, every one at a profit
Price under your bid: you win stake and keep the difference
Price above: you sit out, nothing paid
The honest downside

Your bond keeps earning. It just isn’t instantly liquid.

Staked to your own node

The SOL in your bond is delegated to your validator. It earns the same rewards as any other stake on you while it guarantees your bids.

Locked for a few epochs

Withdrawing takes a few epochs, so you can’t pull it out the same day. Fund it with SOL you won’t need on short notice.

Never pays above break-even

Your bond only pays out at the auction price, and only in epochs you win. With your bid at break-even, a won epoch is never a losing one.

Three steps, about ten minutes.

  1. 01
    Find your break-even
    Paste your vote account. We work it out from your inflation, MEV and block rewards.
  2. 02
    Fund your bond
    Move stake delegated to your node into a bond. We size it for the stake you can win.
  3. 03
    Set your max bid once
    Copy the generated command. From then on the auction does the rest, every epoch.

How many green epochs would you have had?
