Introducing Sanctum App: The Most Delightful Way To Grow Your SOL

Sanctum is a brand that many first fell in love with while engaging with our user-facing experiences, most notably Wonderland S1.

We’re excited to build on that history of success with Sanctum App, a new world where mobile users can earn up to 10% SOL rewards, paid daily, collect Cloud Pets, and more.

Early access will launch for waitlist participants in 2026.

We set out to design the most delightful SOL staking experience possible, informed by everything we’ve learned building in this space.

Early access will launch with a focused feature set:

• Earn up to 10% on your SOL, with rewards paid daily**
• Withdraw your SOL any time with no lock-up periods or withdrawal fees
• Collect your first Cloud Pet!

In a previous blog, we outlined how Sanctum fits into the Solana economy and how we were working to move up the value chain to expand our business. We also shared that, in 2026 and beyond, we’d work to provide value in “Layer 4,” the top economic layer where end users and the largest potential upside exist.

Sanctum App represents our push into that next layer.

“The more layers of the Solana economy Sanctum touches, the more value we can capture, and the more revenue our business can generate, positioning Sanctum for long-term growth while compounding the benefits for our partners, users, and core community. That revenue becomes the engine for everything that follows at Sanctum: launching new products, expanding the scope of what we can deliver for CLOUD holders, growing our team, and accelerating the development of services that strengthen the entire ecosystem.”

We view the current industry environment as particularly advantageous for the move.

Today’s crypto users often gravitate toward speculative behavior and high-risk opportunities, and most crypto apps have been built to serve this degen-driven demand.

This year, however, as memecoin activity has cooled, we’ve seen sustainable onchain financial opportunities gain traction, and the industry has shown a renewed interest in real fundamentals:

• RWAs have grown from $5.5 billion to over $18 billion.
• Solana DeFi grew from $8.5 billion to a $13 billion peak.
• Tokenization has been a flagship narrative for Solana.
• Ownership coins, the revenue meta, etc., have been increasing in popularity.

As the industry shifts away from degeneracy, we’re entering the crypto app space in which most teams are racing to build the everything app for degens. Instead of following suit, we’re keen to skate to where the puck is going and see 2026 as the opportune year to reach a different, much larger audience.

Our vision is to build an experience that caters to the 99.999% of the world who aren’t involved in degen crypto.

Instead of encouraging more of the speculation that has left many burned by the industry, we’re building our app to be a pleasant, welcoming entry experience for the people who aren’t active in the onchain financial world (even our parents). This group represents the overwhelming majority of the global population and generally prefers to build lasting wealth over time, instead of engaging in highly speculative financial activity.

With Sanctum App, we’ll work to prove to them the onchain economy can be a safe, comfortable, and performant addition to their long-term financial strategy.

Day 1 of Sanctum App will not be our endgame version of the app.

We’ll start by launching yields on SOL (our bread and butter) to onboard our most immediate audience and start getting feedback that we can use for improvements as we continue building.

From there, we’ll launch additional yield opportunities and progressively upgrade the app to expand our target audience from our starting point (people who want to earn yield on their SOL) to our endgame (people who want to grow their savings, aka the entire world).

We’re excited to welcome the Cloudfam and broader Solana ecosystem to embark on this journey with us!
