Anchorage Digital has commenced its support of institutional staking with Marinade Finance, a Solana (SOL) decentralised staking protocol.
The integration will enable Anchorage clients to stake SOL via Marinade within both its platform and Porto, Anchorage’s self-custody wallet.
The initiative is intended to address institutional reliance on external applications and the relinquishing of asset control when staking.
Institutions will be able to delegate staking operations to Marinade, with Anchorage maintaining custody and control of the underlying assets through an onchain mechanism separating staking authority from withdrawal authority.
Anchorage clients will be able to choose from two strategies, both available within Anchorage Digital’s platform.
Marinade Select, designed for institutions with specific regulatory or risk requirements, utilising Know Your Customer (KYC)-verified validators.
Marinade Max Yield, an automated strategy that allocates stake to optimise yield across the firm's validator set.
Speaking on the collaboration, Nathan McCauley, co-founder and CEO, Anchorage Digital, says: “By integrating Marinade, we’re expanding access to optimised Solana staking strategies — while maintaining the custody, control, and regulatory standards institutions require.”
Michael Repetný, co-founder and CEO of Marinade Labs, adds that the integration will allow institutions to access efficient and decentralised staking “within a trusted, regulated environment — helping scale participation across the Solana network”.
