Marinade is now SOC 2 Type I compliant

Raising the bar for secure, compliant staking on Solana

We’re proud to announce that Marinade is now officially SOC 2 Type I compliant — a major milestone in our commitment to building the most trusted, institution-grade staking infrastructure on Solana.

This certification, conducted by independent auditors at BDO, affirms that our systems, security practices, and internal operations meet the standards expected by the world’s most risk-sensitive organizations — including custodians, funds, and institutional investors.

SOC 2 Type I compliance demonstrates that Marinade’s infrastructure and policies are designed with security, integrity, and accountability at their core. It’s a critical trust signal for institutions looking to operate confidently within the Solana ecosystem.

Why this matters for institutional clients

For many institutions, staking doesn’t begin with rewards — it begins with compliance.

With SOC 2 Type I in place, Marinade is ready to support partners who require:

🔒 Verified security and access controls

📁 Auditable, enterprise-grade operational procedures

🧩 Alignment with procurement or internal risk frameworks

📊 A partner that’s prepared for regulatory oversight

“SOC 2 compliance is a trust signal that matters. It shows we’re serious about building infrastructure that meets institutional expectations — not just crypto-native ones.” said Hadley Stern, CCO at Marinade.

Looking Ahead: Toward SOC 2 Type II and Beyond

We’re already working toward SOC 2 Type II, which evaluates the long-term effectiveness of these controls over time — not just at a single moment. Combined with our continued product development and upcoming integrations, this certification is part of a broader effort to make Marinade the most reliable platform for secure, compliant staking on Solana.
