iOS & Android Soon
Sanctum App is coming soon to iOS and Android, making Sanctum performance (and Albus' world of delightful savings) available to everyone on mobile!
Get Early Access - sanctum.so/app
As we've been preparing for launch, the Clouddevs have stayed busy bringing new upgrades to the app.
Key highlights include:
- USDC deposit support (yields coming later).
- Introducing our first version of "The Garden," where you can see your assets and how much SOL you've earned.
- Various security improvements, like our new asset recovery tool at recovery.sanctum.so.
- Craft sprint - polishing the app, cleaning up the codebase, improving performance, etc.
In May, we also saw the conclusion of Seeker Season, our in-app gamified campaign exclusive to Solana Seeker users.
Thank you to everyone who participated; we hope you had fun joining Albus on his world tour!
We learned a lot from Seeker Season and are already working on what comes next. Stay tuned...
A New TVL ATH
April '26 will forever be remembered as one of DeFi's darkest months, with TVL fleeing the ecosystem due to exploit-driven fear.
After hitting an ecosystem TVL ATH (SOL) in March, we felt the ecosystem impact, but you can't keep a cloud down for long! In April, Sanctum was the only top-4 protocol to grow in SOL & USD terms, and we reached another new SOL ATH in May, crossing 17m SOL for the first time.
As DeFi recovers and we continue to build the prime desk for Solana across staking, liquidity, collateral, and leverage, more people than ever are finding their onchain sanctuary with the Cloudfam.
We're grateful for all the support and trust we've been given. Let's keep floating higher!
INF Still On Top Post-V2 Upgrade
INF is still the best place to grow your SOL on Solana.
Since launching our v2 upgrade, INF has averaged 6.3% APY, ahead of main competitors and above the LST median (slightly under 6%).
Diving deeper into how the V2 upgrade has performed, James Hanley published a progress update:

Why Stake With Sanctum Validator?
"Most validators sell the same three things: APY, uptime, and low fees. This approach has become increasingly commoditized over recent years and lacks the depth that institutions need. At Sanctum, we offer a stronger institutional proposition."
