Moderate risk — powerful liquidity aggregation, but the pooled design means one rotten staking token can spoil the entire basket

Top Risks

1

Multi-LST Infinity pool aggregates risk from all supported LSTs; a single LST depeg can poison the entire pool through arbitrage-driven toxic asset accumulation

2

Reserve pool of ~400,000 SOL enables instant LST-to-SOL redemption but can drain rapidly during stress, leaving remaining holders with one-epoch withdrawal delays

3

Explosive 4900% TVL growth from 2024 outpaces battle-testing; protocol mechanisms are untested at current scale during a real LST depeg event

Risk Breakdown

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Sanctum safe to use?
Sanctum receives a B- risk grade (28/100) from Hindenrank, where lower scores indicate lower risk. Moderate risk — powerful liquidity aggregation, but the pooled design means one rotten staking token can spoil the entire basket A Solana liquid staking hub that pools dozens of different staking tokens into one diversified token (INF) and lets you swap between them instantly. It holds $1B in deposits after growing 4,900% in a year. Its B- grade reflects that mixing many staking tokens together means one bad token can poison the entire pool.
What are the main risks of using Sanctum?
The key risks identified for Sanctum are: (1) If any single staking token in the pool loses value, arbitrage traders will dump the bad token into the pool and take out good ones -- your share gets diluted with the toxic asset (2) Instant redemptions use a reserve of 400,000 SOL. During a panic, early withdrawers drain the reserve and latecomers face a one-epoch waiting period (3) Growing 4,900% in one year means the system has never been tested at this scale during real market stress
