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 (by Paxos). Instead of receiving staking rewards in volatile 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 yield layer.
How does Marinade make staking safer than other options?
Marinade uses native staking, which means your SOL never leaves your wallet and doesn’t touch a smart contract. You delegate, keep full custody, and still earn validator yield. That removes smart-contract risk while keeping all the benefits of on-chain rewards.
Where does the extra yield come from?
Marinade runs a zero-commission validator that routes all priority fees back to stakers. Those fees stack on top of regular staking rewards. For example: 6.5 percent base APY + 0.8 percent from priority fees = 7.3 percent APY paid in USDG.
Why does earning staking rewards in USDG stablecoin matte?
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 Paxos’ 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.
