# Marinade: Should A Percentage of SAM Bids Route To MNDE Stakers?

## Summary
Marinade used MetaDAO's futarchy mechanism to decide whether to implement MIP.5 — routing a percentage of SAM (Stake Auction Marketplace) bids to MNDE-Enhanced Stakers who actively stake to validators with winning bids. This creates a direct revenue share between Marinade's staking marketplace and MNDE governance token holders.

## Market Data
- **Outcome:** Passed
- **Proposal Account:** DnDiyjAcmS3BNmNEJa2ydEbd6DgnddpkyVXJfngdRTzF
- **Duration:** 2025-02-04 to ~2025-02-07
- **Reference:** MIP.5 on Marinade governance forum

## Significance
Marinade is one of Solana's largest liquid staking protocols. Using futarchy for a revenue-sharing mechanism decision demonstrates FaaS adoption for consequential economic design choices, not just operational governance. The proposal creates a direct link between staking behavior and governance token value — exactly the kind of incentive alignment futarchy is designed to optimize.
