Introducing Sanctum's Investor Relations Hub: https://t.co/IUTChHFz4b
A single, transparent page for all of Sanctum's core metrics updated in real time: revenues, TVL, treasury balances, CLOUD token supply etc.
Our Q2 2026 quarterly report will be published soon.
Our governance proposal has passed. 259M CLOUD from the Community Reserve will be permanently burned. Total token supply will fall from 1B to ~741M.

Sanctum is Solana's largest protocol by TVL.

Sanctum is a strong business but our token hasn't reflected it. TVL #1 on Solana, eleven straight quarters of growth, profitable since 2025, all four founders still here since 2021.
We are taking a series of measures to address the token problem. One, we're proposing to burn the remaining 259M tokens in the Community Reserve reducing supply by a quarter from 1B to ~741M.
Second, we are also announcing a cosmetic ticker change from CLOUD to SANC (metadata only; tokenomics and address unchanged)
The first removes an overhang we no longer have any use for and the second makes the token findable by anyone who hears about Sanctum.

The governance proposal "Should Sanctum burn 25% of token supply?" is now live for 72 hours.

Fun fact about @solana LST market structure: It's a lot more competitive unlike the winner-takes-all structures of other L1s.
That is thanks to a small technicality unique to the Solana protocol. Stake accounts treat underlying LST stakes as fungible, which allows the "swapping" of one LST to another without a counterparty, slippage or liquidity pool. (it is not technically a swap, @sanctumso's Router simply deletes the stake account inside the old LST and mints a fresh one in the new LST.)
That fungibility is what lets Sanctum's liquidity layer cover instant redemption for hundreds of our partner LSTs, instead of each new issuer bootstrapping its own liquidity.
So it is an understatement to say that Sanctum is literally built for the little guy.
On Ethereum, every staking protocol runs its own contract. Stake isn't fungible. Hence its oligopolistic structures and why Lido/Binance still holds dominant market share.
Sanctum started in 2021, hot off the heels of DeFi summer and NFT mania.
After 5 long years, Sanctum sits at #1 in TVL today in the Solana ecosystem at ~17 million SOL ($1.8 billion).
Here is the story of how it all began.
Only realized last week that @sanctumso is the number one protocol by TVL on Solana. The token is up 50% over the last month, and the fundamentals look solid as well.
TVL has grown 150% in SOL terms since the start of 2025 to $1.77B, while Sanctum now handles 20% to 35% of Solana’s LST swap volume in most months.
Revenue measured in SOL has also trended higher, with gross margins reaching 55% in August.
Its multiples show that it is trading closer to a pure LST business, similar to LDO.
The only thing missing now is an interesting story and a product that builds on its current liquidity moat. If it gets those, its multiple could rerate upward, with Jito as the ceiling.
the newsletter i used to write for at @Blockworks today covered the company that I currently work for.
life sometimes be funny lyk dat
reminder that Sanctum has never sold equity and has only ever raised investor capital via the CLOUD token.
1 of the more underrated @solana project (could have asymmetric alpha upside). @sanctumso and solana:CLoUDKc4Ane7HeQcPpE3YHnznRxhMimJ4MyaUqyHFzAu does not get enough credit, recognition and mindshare that they deserved. Hope it will change soon.
Sanctum on the @Blockworks@0xResearch newsletter today by @Kunallegendd:
"On Solana, one stat is difficult to square: the network’s largest protocol by TVL has an FDV of just $32M. It is not Jupiter, Kamino or Jito. It is Sanctum, a protocol that has stayed out of the spotlight despite quietly becoming one of Solana’s most important pieces of infrastructure."

The ticker is SANC
Sanctum is changing our token ticker from CLOUD to SANC.
We announced this yesterday on our governance forums: https://t.co/K8dJmo7BqD
This change will be a simple metadata change of the token name, symbol and logo — tokenomics and the token address will remain unchanged.
Why are we doing this?
In retrospect, the CLOUD ticker was a mistake. It's cute, but nobody outside our community relates CLOUD to “Sanctum”. So when Sanctum did well, attention never flowed to the token.
The SEO is also atrocious. Search CLOUD on CoinGecko or CMC and you get Google Cloud and Alibaba Cloud news, not Sanctum. Through various conversations with people in the industry, we realized a disconnect between Sanctum protocol and the token.
We’ve learned our lesson. SANC means anyone who hears about Sanctum can find the token in one search, and when Sanctum the business does well, our token should too.
Token changes aside, we want to reiterate that we are focused on building the best protocol: maximising long-term revenue and cashflow, and becoming a household name for years and decades to come. We want to stress “years and decades” – this part is important. Those expecting a short-term pump should look elsewhere.
Altogether, these changes are designed to strengthen the token’s long-term sustainability.

- #1 in Solana TVL.
- Core metric is up only during bear market.
- Plenty of room for growth.
- >$10m a year revenue (with current SOL price) on a ~$20m marketcap.
- Early to Blockworks token transparency.
Bear market was/is full of opportunities.
Today, Sanctum hit #1 in TVL on Solana with ~18M SOL staked.
Our goal has always been to grow the liquid staking pie. We're proud to have played our part in making SOL a fundamentally stronger asset by pushing SOL liquid staking forward. We’re incredibly grateful for the support of our partners and community. None of this would have been possible without you.
Watch this space, big changes coming soon.
CLOUD staking claims are now opened at https://t.co/XdJXBwjpG4
CLOUD stakers across the reward period of 24 August 2025 to 28 July 2026 are eligible. Your share of the 15M CLOUD reward pool is your Staking Score divided by the total Staking Score of all stakers.
The claim period will close by 1 Jan 2027, so please make your claims promptly.
The latest proposal “Should Sanctum distribute 15M CLOUD for one last round of ASR?” has passed on MetaDAO decision markets.
We will be following up with details on how stakers can claim their CLOUD staking rewards shortly.
