Sanctum Reserve

Sanctum Reserve receives a B- risk grade (28/100) from Hindenrank, where lower scores indicate lower risk. Moderate risk — well-built infrastructure with strong audit pedigree, but the systemic backstop role creates concentrated risk during market stress events Sanctum Reserve is a liquidity backstop on Solana that holds ~700K SOL to enable instant swaps between liquid staking tokens. It manages $52M and offers top-tier staking yields through its INF token, which aggregates returns from multiple staking providers plus swap fees. Its B risk grade reflects solid underlying infrastructure (built on Solana's 9x-audited staking program) with the key concern being that the reserve could be overwhelmed during a market panic.

The key risks identified for Sanctum Reserve are: (1) Acts as the safety net for all Solana liquid staking — if too many people try to swap at once, the reserve could run dry (2) Aggregates exposure to many different staking providers — a failure at any one affects all holders (3) Solana network outages (which have happened before) would freeze all reserve operations
