CRYPTO 101
Origins and Role of the MNDE Token
Bryce asks about the MNDE token and Hadley describes its DAO origins, no token sale, treasury use, and plans to accrue revenue.
In this episode, Bryce Paul interviews Hadley Stern, Chief Commercial Officer of Marinade Finance, a leading Solana staking platform. They discuss how Marinade enables decentralized staking, the evolution of staking in Solana versus Ethereum, the role of the MNDE token, institutional adoption, ETF strategies, and lessons Stern brought from his leadership at Fidelity Digital Assets. The conversation highlights liquid vs. native staking, decentralization benefits, yield sustainability, and the future of staking in both retail and institutional markets.
