Hello 
I am Pierre from Marinade. I would love to see Marinade and Jet Protocol collaborate together to bring additional services and value to the whole Solana ecosystem!
If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask.
Collateral Asset Profile
- Collateral Name (and symbol): Marinade Sol (mSol)
- Collateral Short Description: mSOL is a liquid staking token that people receive when they stake SOL on the Marinade protocol. These mSOL tokens represent their staked SOL tokens. They act as a receipt, allowing you to exchange them later on for your staked SOL and the earned rewards. Meanwhile, you can use mSOL in DeFi while enjoying your staking rewards.
- Total Value in Circulation: As much as people stake SOL on Marinade. Currently around 6.7M mSol tokens for a $1.4B value.
- Total Value on Solana: Potentially, mSol value will be the exact total SOL value + APY. The price of mSOL goes up relative to SOL each epoch with rewards being accrued into the underlying staked SOL.
- Adoption: mSOL is available in SOL/USDC/USDT/ETH/BTC and other pairs across the Solana ecosystem and on FTX. Similar case: mSOL is used as collateral on all major lending protocols: Port, Larix, Solend

Proposal
Detailed description of the asset and the reason(s) the Jet Community should consider onboarding it.
Marinade.Finance is a non-custodial liquid staking protocol built on Solana. Staked SOL from Marinade users is spread across more than 400 validators outside of the top 20 security groups using an open formula. Through this, Marinade makes Solana more decentralized and more secure.
On the side of users, by aggregating this staking, Marinade is able to issue mSOL as a liquid staking derivative. A token that accrues the staking rewards into itself, thus becoming more valuable against the underlying SOL every epoch.
It essentially becomes the best collateral on Solana to borrow against: price in SOL going up, recognized everywhere and always redeemable, and securing the network Jet builds on at the same time. A win-win-win setup.
Use Cases
mSOL can be used in many DeFi protocols, all without losing your staking rewards.
For example, you can:
- Add mSOL to a liquidity pool on a decentralized exchange
- Lend your mSOL or use it as collateral on borrowing/lending protocols
- Supply mSOL to yield farming protocolsStake your mSOL to earn additional MNDE rewards
- Trade your mSOL on CEXs and DEXs
- Etc.
We are always on the lookout for new protocols where mSOL could be integrated. A non-exhaustive list of mSOL use cases in DeFi can be found at this link.

- Liquidity Risk: Marinade markets got more than $50m of daily exchanged volume (Cours du MARINADE STAKED SOL (MSOL), Graphiques, Capitalisation | CoinMarketCap).
- Price Feed Risk: mSol price is directly linked to Sol price. Not inherent risk on mSol token
- Bridge Risk:
