With the launch of Instant Unstake, users can finally get their staked SOL back immediately

This move isn't just about convenience. It signals a broader trend toward liquidity-first staking solutions. This market has seen explosive growth

As crypto investors increasingly demand faster and more flexible access to their tokens, liquidity-first solutions are coming to the fore. In this vein, Marinade Finance has introduced an Instant Unstake feature for its staked SOL (sSOL) tokens.

Solana’s native staking system allows users to earn rewards by locking up their SOL. Traditionally, unstaking then requires a “cooldown” period of about 48 hours before users can access their tokens again. However, Marinade’s feature allows users to trade their sSOL for liquid SOL immediately and pay only a small fee.

This new option addresses a real-world pain point. If an investor sees a sudden market shift or an opportunity they want to seize, they’re usually limited by the unstaking period. But with Instant Unstake, investors can remain active and adaptive in response to market changes.

This move also comes amid the broader trend of liquid staking derivatives (LSDs) seeing massive demand. According to DefiLlama, LSDs like Marinade have surged to over $32 billion in total value locked (TVL) across chains as of April 2025.

Solana: Competition Heats Up in 2024

On Solana specifically, the competition is heating up. Just this month, other players like Jito and BlazeStake also announced new liquidity enhancements.

However, Marinade’s Instant Unstake holds an edge by tying directly into Solana’s native staking, preserving all the core benefits, such as decentralization and security, while trimming away the hassle.

According to Solana blockchain data, about 18.5 million SOL is currently staked, and through its partnership with AnChain.AI, Marinade is also safeguarding the ecosystem from malicious actors.

For large players like custodians, funds, and enterprises, it’s not just about chasing the highest yield — it’s about trust. In this pursuit, Marinade Finance has officially achieved SOC 2 Type I compliance.

SOC 2 is the gold standard for security and compliance across industries, and now Marinade meets that bar, verified through an independent audit. This certification unlocks a new level of institutional readiness, with secure infrastructure, verified access controls, auditable operations, and stronger regulatory alignment.

Overall, it signals that Marinade is not just building for today’s users, but for the future of serious, scalable adoption.
