Breaking into the Sanctum

Sanctum employs a multi-token system to support and enhance its ecosystem. Its goal is to empower individuals to launch and trade millions of Liquid Staking Tokens (LSTs) within the Solana ecosystem. To ensure the genuine liquidity of these LSTs, a mechanism is imperative. Sanctum introduces the Infinity Pool, a multi-LST liquidity pool that facilitates the exchange between all LSTs within the pool. Users can become liquidity providers by depositing any whitelisted LST into the pool and receive $INF tokens. These $INF tokens can accumulate staking rewards, benefit from trading fees within the pool, and be directly used in DeFi protocols.
