Solana-based self-custodial staking protocol, Marinade Finance has made a strategic investment in SuperSol, the first native Layer-2 scaling solution for Solana to support the rapid growth of the Solana ecosystem.
As the demand for scalability, performance, and real-time capabilities continues to soar, the Solana ecosystem has witnessed rapid growth because it offers solutions to these key blockchain problems, which has led to its fast growth.
While Solana is known for its thriving DeFi ecosystem, the growth is fueled by other emerging sectors like blockchain-based gaming (GameFi) and Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN).
Marinade Finance is strategically investing in Supersol in response to this unprecedented growth. As a staking protocol, Marinade enables SOL holders to automatically delegate their tokens to the top validators in a competitive open marketplace and earn by sharing fees with validators.
Supersol aims to enhance Solana’s scalability and performance to support the next wave of decentralized applications (dApps). The project focuses on GameFi, which combines gaming with decentralized finance, and DePIN, which utilizes decentralized networks for physical infrastructure, making it a strategic player in the growth of Solana.
With this investment, Marinade will help Supersol accelerate its development and adoption, which positions the staking protocol at the forefront of the efforts to improve Solana’s Layer-1 and Layer-2 capabilities to handle the next generation of dApps.
Marinade Finance has been playing a critical role in the Solana ecosystem with its liquid staking service, which allows SOL holders to mint mSOL, a staking derivative they can use to participate in other DeFi activities while staking their SOL.
This allows participants to earn staking rewards without locking their assets, thereby supporting network security and a more dynamic ecosystem for decentralized finance.
As a Layer-2 scaling solution for Solana, Supersol helps the network expand and accommodate the massive growth in the ecosystem without compromising performance. It also enables developers to build more efficient applications, particularly in GameFi and DePIN, which are two of the fastest-growing sectors in blockchain.
While the value of the investment has not been disclosed, the partnership between Marinade FInance and Supersol is seen as one that goes beyond monetary investment.
The partnership will ensure that Solana remains a leading blockchain platform that can support the growing demands of decentralized applications, GameFi, and DePIN, with cutting-edge performance, scalability, and reliability in the future.
