Your Questions,
Answered
What is USDG and why am I earning it instead of SOL?
USDG is a regulated, dollar-backed stablecoin issued through the Global Dollar Network. Instead of receiving staking rewards in SOL, you earn a predictable, dollar-denominated payout every epoch. Your principal stays in SOL for long-term upside, while USDG gives you a stable, spendable, and incentivized yield layer.
How does Marinade make staking safer than other options?
Marinade uses native staking, meaning your SOL always stays in your wallet. There is no smart contract custody and no wrapped assets involved. You delegate to Marinade’s validator set, maintain full control of your funds, and still earn on-chain validator rewards without introducing additional smart-contract risk.
Why is the yield so high?
Your yield comes from the full Solana Staking Rate, which includes inflation, MEV, and the growing stream of priority fees generated by network usage. Marinade takes zero commission, so one hundred percent of these rewards go to stakers. On top of this, an additional 30,000 USDG is added to the rewards pool during the first 30 days to boost early-staker returns. All rewards are converted to USDG in the backend and paid out every epoch.
How does this strategy work behind the scenes?
This product does not use Marinade’s SAM or Select infrastructure. Instead, Marinade runs a dedicated validator at 100% commission so that all staking rewards — inflation, MEV, and priority fees — go directly to the protocol. These rewards are swapped for USDG on the backend and then redistributed to stakers each epoch, while your SOL stays in your own native stake accounts.
Why does earning staking rewards in stables matter?
Rewards in a stablecoin don’t fluctuate like SOL, which can make accounting and tax reporting simpler. It also means you can instantly use or move your yield without swapping tokens or worrying about price swings.
What is the Global Dollar Network?
The Global Dollar Network is a new platform for issuing compliant, fully-backed stablecoins. Pairing Marinade’s proven Solana staking engine with regulated USDG payouts brings institutional-grade security and predictable yield to everyday stakers.
