TechFlow reports that Solana-based DeFi protocol Marinade has announced an update to its 2024 roadmap. According to the plan, delegations based on the Stake Auction Marketplace (SAM) will officially launch on August 14, Beijing time.
In Q3, Marinade will release a reward report generator.
Q4 initiatives include native instant unstaking, accelerated SAM base delegation, and a staking referral program.
Notably, Marinade Finance's SAM system is the first to allow Solana validators to bid for staked SOL, enabling validators and delegators to share potential revenues—including MEV, transaction fees, bandwidth access, and other future income streams.
To date, over 70 validators have actively participated in bidding, with expectations of achieving a 100% capture rate of inflation rewards, and all MEV proceeds flowing directly to stakers.
