“Can a single Solana-native infrastructure team own liquid staking, transaction delivery, and Web3 DevOps by commoditizing LST creation and becoming the default rails for teams building on-chain?”
Founded in 2021 as contributors to the Solana stake pool program, Sanctum (operating as Socean Labs Inc) launched its own stake pool under the Socean brand before pivoting to become liquid staking infrastructure for the entire Solana ecosystem. Its Infinity product commoditized LST creation, growing the ecosystem from a handful of tokens to over 1,300 LSTs. By 2025 the company had formalized this as a white-label 'Staking-as-a-Service' business and expanded into complementary infrastructure — transaction delivery (Gateway) and Web3 DevOps (Ironforge) — positioning itself as full-stack Solana infrastructure rather than a single protocol.
Sanctum's crypto products run on Toku.
Sanctum is founded in 2021 and headquartered in Panama (incorporated as Socean Labs Inc).
