Overview

Sanctum is the infrastructure layer powering Solana's liquid staking ecosystem. Its Infinity Pool acts as a universal liquidity reserve that enables instant swaps between 200+ LSTs without unstaking delays. Instead of waiting ~5 days to unstake mSOL and restake through Jito, users can swap mSOL → JitoSOL instantly through Sanctum. Sanctum also provides the staking infrastructure for JupSOL (Jupiter's LST) and numerous other project-specific LSTs. For users, Sanctum is the best way to compare and switch between LSTs.

Sanctum Risk Assessment

  • Smart contract

    low

    Audited. $211M TVL. Core infrastructure for Solana's LST ecosystem

  • LST ecosystem dependency

    medium

    Sanctum's value depends on the LST market remaining fragmented. If one LST dominates (80%+ share), the router becomes less necessary

  • Individual LST risk

    medium

    Sanctum routes between LSTs but doesn't guarantee the quality of each LST. Some smaller LSTs may have higher smart contract or de-peg risk

    Move from mSOL to JitoSOL without the 5-day unstaking wait

  • LST diversification
