Marinade Waives Bond Charges for Agave Slot-Skipping Bug

The significance here is less about the waiver itself than about how a bug in one protocol can ripple into the economics of another that depends on it. Marinade absorbing the cost of faulty bond-charge calculations signals that cross-protocol dependencies carry real financial exposure, not just technical risk. The open question is whether the Agave 4.4 release candidate resolves the slot-skipping behavior cleanly, and whether similar exemptions become a recurring feature of how these protocols manage shared infrastructure failures.
