Sanctum Development Guide

A comprehensive guide for building Solana applications with Sanctum - Solana's largest LST (Liquid Staking Token) platform powering 1,361+ LSTs.

Overview

Sanctum provides unified liquid staking infrastructure on Solana:

  • Infinity Pool: Multi-LST liquidity pool with zero-slippage swaps
  • Router: Instant LST-to-LST swaps via stake account routing
  • Reserve: Instant SOL liquidity for LST withdrawals
  • LST Creation: Launch custom liquid staking tokens
  • INF Token: Yield-bearing token representing Infinity pool shares

Key Stats

  • 1,361+ LSTs supported
  • $1.4B+ in swap volume facilitated
  • ~8,000 SOL ($1M+) in fees shared with stakers
  • Partners: Jupiter (jupSOL), Bybit (bbSOL), Drift (dSOL), crypto.com (cdcSOL)

Quick Start

API Setup

const SANCTUM_API_BASE = 'https://sanctum-api.ironforge.network';

// All endpoints require API key
const headers = {
  'Content-Type': 'application/json',
};

// Example: Get all LST metadata
const response = await fetch(
  `${SANCTUM_API_BASE}/lsts?apiKey=${API_KEY}`
);
const lsts = await response.json();

Common LST Addresses

const LST_MINTS = {
  // Native SOL (wrapped)
  SOL: 'So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112',

  // Sanctum INF (Infinity pool token)
  INF: '5oVNBeEEQvYi1cX3ir8Dx5n1P7pdxydbGF2X4TxVusJm',

  // Major LSTs
  mSOL: 'mSoLzYCxHdYgdzU16g5QSh3i5K3z3KZK7ytfqcJm7So',      // Marinade
  jitoSOL: 'J1toso1uCk3RLmjorhTtrVwY9HJ7X8V9yYac6Y7kGCPn', // Jito
  bSOL: 'bSo13r4TkiE4KumL71LsHTPpL2euBYLFx6h9HP3piy1',      // BlazeStake

  // Partner LSTs
  jupSOL: 'jupSoLaHXQiZZTSfEWMTRRgpnyFm8f6sZdosWBjx93v',   // Jupiter
  bbSOL: 'bbso1MfE7KVL7DhqwZ6dVfKrD3oNV1PEykLNM4kk5dD',    // Bybit
  dSOL: 'Dso1bDeDjCQxTrWHqUUi63oBvV7Mdm6WaobLbQ7gnPQ',     // Drift

  // Other popular LSTs
  hSOL: 'he1iusmfkpAdwvxLNGV8Y1iSbj4rUy6yMhEA3fotn9A',     // Helius
  pwrSOL: 'pWrSoLAhue6jUxUMbWaY8izMhNpWfhiJk7M3Fy3p1Kt',   // Power
  laineSOL: 'LAinEtNLgpmCP9Rvsf5Hn8W6EhNiKLZQti1xfWMLy6X', // Laine
};

Core Concepts

1. LST (Liquid Staking Token)

LSTs represent staked SOL that remains liquid. When you stake SOL through a stake pool:

  • You receive LST tokens representing your stake
  • The stake earns validator rewards
  • LSTs can be traded, used in DeFi, or swapped back to SOL

2. INF Token

INF is Sanctum's flagship yield-bearing token:

  • Represents share of Infinity pool's multi-LST holdings
  • Reward-bearing: Value increases vs SOL (not rebasing)
  • Earns weighted average of all LST yields + trading fees
  • No lockups - hold to earn, swap out anytime
// INF increases in value over time
// Example: 1 INF deposited at 1.0 SOL might be worth 1.05 SOL later
const infValue = await getInfSolValue(); // Returns current INF/SOL rate

3. SOL Value Calculators

On-chain programs that convert LST amounts to intrinsic SOL value:

// Each LST has a dedicated calculator
const SOL_VALUE_CALCULATORS = {
  SPL: 'sp1V4h2gWorkGhVcazBc22Hfo2f5sd7jcjT4EDPrWFF',
  SanctumSpl: 'sspUE1vrh7xRoXxGsg7vR1zde2WdGtJRbyK9uRumBDy',
  SanctumSplMulti: 'ssmbu3KZxgonUtjEMCKspZzxvUQCxAFnyh1rcHUeEDo',
  Marinade: 'mare3SCyfZkAndpBRBeonETmkCCB3TJTTrz8ZN2dnhP',
  Lido: '1idUSy4MGGKyKhvjSnGZ6Zc7Q4eKQcibym4BkEEw9KR',
  wSOL: 'wsoGmxQLSvwWpuaidCApxN5kEowLe2HLQLJhCQnj4bE',
};

TypeScript Integration

Full Client Implementation

import { Connection, PublicKey, Transaction, Keypair } from '@solana/web3.js';

class SanctumClient {
  private apiKey: string;
  private baseUrl = 'https://sanctum-api.ironforge.network';
  private connection: Connection;

  constructor(apiKey: string, connection: Connection) {
    this.apiKey = apiKey;
    this.connection = connection;
  }

  // Get all LSTs
  async getLsts(): Promise<LstMetadata[]> {
    const response = await fetch(
      `${this.baseUrl}/lsts?apiKey=${this.apiKey}`
    );
    return response.json();

    url.searchParams.set('apiKey', this.apiKey);
    url.searchParams.set('inp', params.inputMint);
    url.searchParams.set('out', params.outputMint);
    url.searchParams.set('amt', params.amount);
    url.searchParams.set('mode', params.mode);
    url.searchParams.set('signer', params.signer);
    if (params.slippageBps) {
      url.searchParams.set('slippageBps', params.slippageBps.toString());
    }

    const response = await fetch(url.toString());
    return response.json();

  // Execute swap
  async executeSwap(
    orderResponse: SwapOrderResponse,
    signer: Keypair
  ): Promise<string> {
    // Decode and sign transaction
    const txBuffer = Buffer.from(orderResponse.tx, 'base64');
    const transaction = Transaction.from(txBuffer);
    transaction.sign(signer);

    // Send to API
    const response = await fetch(`${this.baseUrl}/swap/token/execute`, {
      method: 'POST',
      headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
      body: JSON.stringify({

    signer: Keypair;
    slippageBps?: number;

Usage Examples

const connection = new Connection('https://api.mainnet-beta.solana.com');
const sanctum = new SanctumClient(API_KEY, connection);

// Get all LSTs
const lsts = await sanctum.getLsts();
console.log(`Found ${lsts.length} LSTs`);

// Get INF token info
const inf = await sanctum.getLst('INF');
console.log(`INF APY: ${inf.apy}%`);

// Swap 1 SOL to mSOL
const signature = await sanctum.swapLst({
  inputMint: LST_MINTS.SOL,
  outputMint: LST_MINTS.mSOL,
  amount: '1000000000', // 1 SOL (9 decimals)
  signer: wallet,
  slippageBps: 50,
});
console.log('Swap TX:', signature);

// Swap mSOL to INF
const infSwap = await sanctum.swapLst({
  inputMint: LST_MINTS.mSOL,
  outputMint: LST_MINTS.INF,
  amount: '500000000', // 0.5 mSOL
  signer: wallet,
});

Infinity Pool

How It Works

Infinity is a multi-LST liquidity pool enabling zero-slippage swaps:

  • SOL Value Calculation: Each LST's value is calculated from on-chain stake pool state
  • Fair Pricing: Swaps execute at intrinsic SOL value (no AMM curves)
  • Fee Structure: 8 bps per swap, 10 bps for withdrawals
  • Fee Distribution: 90% to LPs (INF holders), 10% to protocol

Add Liquidity (Get INF)

// Deposit SOL or any LST to get INF
async function addLiquidity(
  sanctum: SanctumClient,
  lstMint: string,
  amount: string,
  signer: Keypair
): Promise<string> {
  // Swap LST/SOL for INF
  return sanctum.swapLst({
    inputMint: lstMint,
    outputMint: LST_MINTS.INF,
    amount,
    signer,
  });
}

// Example: Add 10 SOL to Infinity
const tx = await addLiquidity(
  sanctum,
  LST_MINTS.SOL,
  '10000000000',
  wallet
);

Remove Liquidity

// Withdraw from Infinity pool
async function removeLiquidity(
  sanctum: SanctumClient,
  outputMint: string,
  infAmount: string,
  signer: Keypair
): Promise<string> {
  // Swap INF for desired LST/SOL
  return sanctum.swapLst({
    inputMint: LST_MINTS.INF,
    outputMint: outputMint,
    amount: infAmount,
    signer,
  });
}

// Example: Withdraw to SOL
const tx = await removeLiquidity(
  sanctum,
  LST_MINTS.SOL,
  '5000000000', // 5 INF
  wallet
);

Router

How Swaps Work

The Router enables LST-to-LST swaps via stake accounts:

  • StakeWrappedSol: Stake SOL into pool, receive LST
  • WithdrawWrappedSol: Withdraw undelegated SOL from reserve
  • DepositStake: Deposit stake account, receive LST
  • SwapViaStake: Route through shared validators

Fee Structure

| Operation | Fee |

|-----------|-----|

| StakeWrappedSol | 0 bps |

| WithdrawWrappedSol | 1 bps |

| DepositStake | 10 bps (waived for SOL output) |

| SwapViaStake | Varies by route |

Jupiter Integration

Sanctum Router is integrated with Jupiter. Use Jupiter SDK for optimal routing:

import { Jupiter } from '@jup-ag/core';

const jupiter = await Jupiter.load({
  connection,
  cluster: 'mainnet-beta',
  user: wallet.publicKey,
});

// Jupiter automatically routes through Sanctum when optimal
const routes = await jupiter.computeRoutes({
  inputMint: new PublicKey(LST_MINTS.mSOL),
  outputMint: new PublicKey(LST_MINTS.jitoSOL),
  amount: 1_000_000_000n,
  slippageBps: 50,
});

Staking SOL

Direct Staking

// Stake SOL to get LST
async function stakeSol(
  sanctum: SanctumClient,
  lstMint: string,
  solAmount: string,
  signer: Keypair
): Promise<string> {
  return sanctum.swapLst({
    inputMint: LST_MINTS.SOL,
    outputMint: lstMint,
    amount: solAmount,
    signer,
  });
}

// Stake 5 SOL for jupSOL
const tx = await stakeSol(
  sanctum,
  LST_MINTS.jupSOL,
  '5000000000',
  wallet
);

Unstaking (Instant)

// Instant unstake via Infinity/Reserve
async function instantUnstake(
  sanctum: SanctumClient,
  lstMint: string,
  amount: string,
  signer: Keypair
): Promise<string> {
  return sanctum.swapLst({
    inputMint: lstMint,
    outputMint: LST_MINTS.SOL,
    amount,
    signer,
  });
}

Delayed Unstaking (Lower Fees)

// Withdraw to stake account (requires epoch wait)
async function delayedUnstake(
  sanctum: SanctumClient,
  lstMint: string,
  amount: string,
  signer: Keypair,
  deactivate: boolean = true
): Promise<string> {
  const url = new URL(`${sanctum.baseUrl}/swap/withdrawStake/order`);
  url.searchParams.set('apiKey', sanctum.apiKey);
  url.searchParams.set('lstMint', lstMint);
  url.searchParams.set('amount', amount);
  url.searchParams.set('signer', signer.publicKey.toBase58());
  url.searchParams.set('deactivate', deactivate.toString());

  const response = await fetch(url.toString());
  const orderResponse = await response.json();

  return sanctum.executeSwap(orderResponse, signer);
}

Data Queries

Get APYs

// Get all LST APYs
async function getLstApys(sanctum: SanctumClient): Promise<Map<string, number>> {
  const lsts = await sanctum.getLsts();
  const apyMap = new Map();

  for (const lst of lsts) {
    apyMap.set(lst.symbol, lst.apy);
  }

  return apyMap;
}

// Get specific LST historical APY
async function getLstApyHistory(
  sanctum: SanctumClient,
  lstMint: string,
  limit: number = 30
): Promise<Array<{epoch: number; apy: number}>> {
  const response = await fetch(
    `${sanctum.baseUrl}/lsts/${lstMint}/apys?apiKey=${sanctum.apiKey}&limit=${limit}`
  );
  const data = await response.json();
  return data.apys;
}

Get TVL

// Get TVL for specific LSTs
async function getTvl(
  sanctum: SanctumClient,
  symbols: string[]
): Promise<Map<string, number>> {
  const tvlMap = new Map();

  for (const symbol of symbols) {
    const lst = await sanctum.getLst(symbol);
    tvlMap.set(symbol, lst.tvl);
  }

  return tvlMap;
}

Get User Holdings

import { getAccount, getAssociatedTokenAddress } from '@solana/spl-token';

async function getUserLstBalances(
  connection: Connection,
  wallet: PublicKey,
  lstMints: string[]
): Promise<Map<string, bigint>> {
  const balances = new Map();

  for (const mint of lstMints) {
    try {
      const ata = await getAssociatedTokenAddress(
        new PublicKey(mint),
        wallet
      );
      const account = await getAccount(connection, ata);
      balances.set(mint, account.amount);
    } catch {
      balances.set(mint, 0n);
    }
  }

  return balances;
}
