Solana is evolving fast. Capital is flowing in, DeFi is expanding, and more institutions, protocols, and exchanges are racing to capture returns from crypto’s most performant ecosystem via staking.

But for businesses that want more than passive exposure, for those that value control, customization, and capital efficiency, staking through someone else’s product simply isn’t enough.

That’s where Sanctum comes in.

We help partners create their own liquid staking token (LST), custom-built to reflect their needs, launch with minimal lift, and integrate seamlessly across Solana’s DeFi ecosystem.

Here’s why top global teams like Jupiter, Bybit, and DeFi Dev Corp have chosen to launch with Sanctum.

Serious players across traditional finance, blockchain infrastructure, and DeFi consumer apps are vying for increased exposure to SOL, and staking remains the cleanest way to earn it passively.

Moreover, Solana staking isn’t just an internal backend function—it can be an incredibly valuable product. When designed well, it becomes a powerful driver of user engagement, yield generation, and ecosystem alignment.

With your own LST, you can:

• Maximize yield for your users and treasury
• Build branded staking experiences tied directly to your platform
• Retain control over rewards, validator delegation, and token liquidity
• Unlock a new revenue stream by owning the full staking stack

Sanctum is the infrastructure that makes this possible for Solana’s top teams with bespoke customization.

The current Solana staking landscape of providers makes it easy to stake SOL, but they don’t give you control over the mechanics, branding, or economics behind the product.

Sanctum changes that.

We’re the only liquid staking provider on Solana that enables teams to launch and own a branded LST, complete with custom validator logic, redemption rules, and deep DeFi integrations.

In doing so, teams are empowered to transform staking from a passive backend feature into a core product experience that drives user engagement, capital efficiency, and platform utility.

We’ve already enabled major teams like Bybit (bbSOL), Backpack (bpSOL), Drift (dSOL), Crypto.com Staked SOL (CDCSOL) and Jupiter (jupSOL) to do exactly that. Their five LSTs have a combined TVL of more than 8.8 million SOL (~$1.2B) as of this writing.

Whether or not you operate your own validator, Sanctum gives you everything you need to launch and scale a high-performing LST from day one.

The Sanctum package includes:

• Immediate deep liquidity via Sanctum Infinity. Your LST instantly plugs into a deep pool of shared capital, enabling seamless minting, instant unstake, and low-slippage trading—no bootstrap effort required.
• White-labeled staking pools that let you issue an LST under your brand, with no backend development required.
• Permissioned access controls for validator selection, staking participation, and reward logic.
• Customizable token mechanics, including redemption timing, validator sets, compliance filters, and more.
• Day-one Jupiter verification, allowing your LST to be used in swaps, lending markets, and other yield protocols across Solana.
• Sanctum handles maintenance, including the complexities of running a stake pool, freeing you from the burden of infrastructure development and ongoing maintenance.
• The opportunity for additional SOL delegation through Sanctum’s Infinity reallocation strategy, which automatically moves SOL to higher-performing Sanctum LSTs.
• (Optional) Validator operations via the Sanctum validator, running at 0% commission.

Instead of adapting your goals to fit someone else’s staking model, you design the product around what your business and users need.

Since Sanctum offers both stake and validator infrastructure at scale, our LST partners benefit from advantages that make yield products magical to use, translating to higher yield, better UX for your stakers, and more monetization options for your LST.

Ready-to-go validator infrastructure with built-in revenue capture

Most LSTs are built on third-party validators with no revenue-sharing. Sanctum offers direct access to all three primary sources of validator revenue—inflation rewards, MEV commissions, and block rewards—through our own infrastructure or white-label validator setups.

Automated reward routing to users

Few teams have the systems required to pass validator income back to holders. Sanctum handles this programmatically, turning backend validator revenue into better returns for your LST users.

Running a Sanctum LST is best suited for organisations with substantial SOL holdings or specific requirements regarding control, compliance, or monetization.

Ready to Launch?

Launching your own LST doesn’t require a validator team or an in-house staking engineer. Sanctum delivers the complete stack—from infrastructure to validator service to liquidity—so you can focus on user experience and growth.

No other company will enable your business to launch its own LST with this level of liquidity, customizability, and simplicity.
