Post by CammieLyu about Marinade staked SOL (mSOL) ($mSOL)

$mSOL — A small suggestion to clarify staking value and selling price.

I noticed something in Marinade’s Liquid Staking overview that might be a little confusing for beginners.

The overview says the mSOL/SOL rate only changes with staking rewards, but the mSOL Token page also mentions that market prices can be different. The FAQ explains that instant unstaking uses the current market rate.

I think both explanations make sense, but it might help to make the difference a bit clearer in the overview.

Maybe the overview could call it the “protocol mSOL /SOL exchange rate” and include a simple example?

For example, if the protocol rate is 1.30 SOL per mSOL , but the current swap rate is 1.28, someone selling 10 mSOL instantly would get 12.8 SOL instead of 13 SOL, before any additional fees. These are just example numbers, not live prices.

It might also be helpful to link this example to the explanation of instant and delayed unstaking, including any fees involved.

I think this small addition could make things much easier for newcomers to understand, especially when they're deciding how to unstake their mSOL.
