Key components
| Component | Description |
|---|---|
| LST Router | Routes conversions between any LSTs (mSOL → jitoSOL, etc.) |
| Infinity Pool | Multi-LST liquidity pool supporting all Sanctum-listed LSTs |
| Reserve Pool | SOL reserve for instant unstaking |
| Validator LSTs | Tools for validators to create their own LSTs |
How the router works
The Sanctum router finds the optimal path to convert between any two LSTs:
mSOL → [Route: mSOL → SOL → jitoSOL] → jitoSOL
bSOL → [Route: bSOL → Infinity Pool → mSOL] → mSOLPossible routes include:
- Direct stake/unstake through the LST program
- Swap through the Infinity pool
- Instant unstake through the reserve pool and re-stake
Infinity pool
The Infinity pool holds multiple LSTs and SOL, enabling:
- Instant swaps between any listed LSTs
- Single-sided deposits of any LST
- Earning yield from all deposited LSTs simultaneously
The pool token (INF) represents a share of the diversified LST basket.
Supported LSTs
Sanctum supports a wide range of LSTs including:
| LST | Provider |
|---|---|
| mSOL | Marinade |
| jitoSOL | Jito |
| bSOL | SolBlaze |
| LST | Liquid Staking Token (Marinade native) |
| INF | Sanctum Infinity pool token |
Plus dozens of validator-specific LSTs created through Sanctum’s infrastructure.
FAQ
What is the advantage of using Sanctum over swapping LSTs on a DEX? Sanctum routes conversions optimally, often achieving better rates than DEX swaps by using direct staking/unstaking paths. It also supports LST pairs that may not have direct DEX liquidity.
What is INF? INF is the Sanctum Infinity pool token. It represents a share of a diversified basket of LSTs. Holding INF earns blended staking yield from all LSTs in the pool.
Can any validator create an LST through Sanctum? Yes. Sanctum provides tools for validators to launch their own liquid staking token, which is backed by stake delegated to that validator and instantly convertible to other LSTs through the router.
