Michael Repetný is the co-founder and CEO of Marinade Finance, one of Solana's most significant protocols and the leading liquid staking solution in the ecosystem.

After discovering Solana during Ethereum's DeFi summer in 2020, Repetný participated in a hackathon where Marinade Finance was born, building it without venture capital funding to ensure organic growth and genuine product-market fit.Repetný's expertise centers on Solana's staking economics and validator infrastructure.

He has become a respected voice on how staking rewards are distributed across the network, particularly focusing on priority fees and MEV (Maximum Extractable Value).

His regular analyses of Solana's fee structure have educated the community about the changing economics of validation, highlighting how transaction fees have become the primary revenue source for validators, surpassing traditional issuance rewards.At Marinade, Repetný pioneered the development of its stake auction marketplace, which creates a competitive environment where validators bid for stake delegation by sharing rewards with stakers.

This system addresses one of Solana's key challenges—ensuring that priority fees and other validator revenue streams flow back to token holders who secure the network through staking.Beyond technical contributions, Repetný is a vocal advocate for maintaining Solana's decentralization while accommodating institutional adoption.
