Sanctum Infinity Review 2026: Solana's Multi-LST Pool

Sanctum Infinity is a multi-LST liquidity pool on Solana that lets users swap between liquid staking tokens. It holds about $181 million in TVL, but DefiLlama lists no audits.

By the DappsAtlas editorial team · Updated

Our verdict on Sanctum Infinity

7.0/10

Sanctum Infinity suits Solana users who hold liquid staking tokens and want to swap between them without hunting for separate markets. Its main strength is pooled liquidity across many LSTs, backed by a sizeable TVL of about $181 million. The main caveat is that DefiLlama lists no audits and the project does not publish fee details, so check the documentation and start small.

What is Sanctum Infinity?

Sanctum Infinity is a multi-LST liquidity pool on Solana. DefiLlama describes it as a pool that can support hundreds of different liquid staking tokens natively and enable exchanges between them. It is listed under the DEX category and has been tracked since March 2024.

Infinity is part of Sanctum, which presents itself as Solana staking infrastructure. The homepage lists SOL liquid staking, institutional tools for launching custom LSTs and validators, a transaction delivery service called Gateway and a DevOps platform called Ironforge. It names Jupiter, Bybit and Drift among the teams that launch staking products with Sanctum.

DefiLlama shows about $181.3 million in TVL, down 7.9% over seven days. It lists SANC as the token and no audits. The homepage also mentions a transition from CLOUD to SANC and labels SANC staking as deprecated.

How Sanctum Infinity works

Liquid staking tokens (LSTs) represent staked SOL and earn staking rewards. Each one normally needs its own liquidity to be swapped, which can leave smaller tokens with thin markets. Infinity pools many LSTs together so that swaps between them draw on shared liquidity.

When a user swaps one LST for another, the pool takes in one token and pays out the other at a rate set by the protocol. Liquidity providers supply the assets in the pool and the pool serves traders who want to move between LSTs. DefiLlama says Infinity can support hundreds of LSTs natively.

The exact pricing and fee formulas are not described, so readers should consult Sanctum's documentation for details.

Key features

01

Multi-LST liquidity pool

Infinity holds many liquid staking tokens in one pool, and DefiLlama says it can support hundreds of them natively.

02

LST-to-LST swaps

Users can swap one Solana LST for another through the pool instead of routing through SOL or a separate market for each token.

03

Liquidity engine for staking

Sanctum's homepage describes a liquidity engine behind its SOL staking product, and Infinity is the pool at the center of Sanctum's LST liquidity.

04

Custom LST launches

Institutions can launch a white-label validator and custom LST through Sanctum, which creates new tokens that can use the same liquidity.

05

Wider Solana infrastructure

The homepage lists Gateway for transaction delivery and Ironforge for Web3 DevOps alongside the staking products.

06

Partner integrations

The homepage names Jupiter, Bybit and Drift as partners that launch staking products with Sanctum.

Pros and cons

What we like

  • Pools many LSTs together, which concentrates liquidity for swaps between them.
  • About $181 million in TVL suggests meaningful usage for a Solana LST pool.
  • Backed by a broader Sanctum infrastructure business with named partners such as Jupiter, Bybit and Drift.
  • Live since March 2024, so it has a track record of more than a year by 2026.
  • Supports new LSTs launched through Sanctum's institutional tools.

Watch out for

  • DefiLlama lists no audits for Infinity, and its homepage does not point to any audit reports.
  • Solana-only, so it offers nothing to users who hold LSTs on other chains.
  • TVL fell 7.9% over the past seven days, which shows the pool size can shift quickly.
  • The pool depends on the LSTs it holds, so users inherit the risks of each underlying staking token and validator.
  • Fee levels and pool composition are not stated, so costs are hard to judge in advance.
  • Infinity is one product inside a larger company, so the product's roadmap depends on Sanctum's wider strategy.

Sanctum Infinity fees

Swap fees and pool fee parameters for Infinity are not published publicly supplied for this review. Users would see the quoted rate and any fee before confirming a swap in the Sanctum app, and the documentation is the place to check how fees are set.

On Solana, users also pay network transaction fees in SOL. The homepage mentions revenue sharing for institutional partners, but it does not describe what retail users pay.

Is Sanctum Infinity safe?

DefiLlama lists no audits for Infinity. Public sources do not describe the custody model beyond it being an on-chain Solana pool, and they mention no incidents. Readers should check Sanctum's documentation for security reviews, admin controls and any upgrade authority before depositing.

Users face smart-contract risk, plus the risk of each LST in the pool, including validator performance and token depegs. Nothing addresses regulatory status.

6 steps

How to get started with Sanctum Infinity

  1. 1

    Read Sanctum's documentation to understand how Infinity and LSTs work, and check for any published security information.

  2. 2

    Set up a Solana wallet and fund it with SOL for network fees.

  3. 3

    Open the Sanctum app from the official website and connect your wallet.

  4. 4

    Choose the LSTs you want to swap and review the quoted rate and fees.

  5. 5

    Start with a small swap to confirm the result before moving larger amounts.

  6. 6

    Keep track of the LSTs you hold, since each has its own validator and yield profile.

Who Sanctum Infinity is for

Infinity is aimed at Solana users who hold or trade liquid staking tokens, liquidity providers looking at LST pools, and teams launching custom LSTs through Sanctum. It is less relevant to users who only hold SOL or who work on other chains.
