Crypto has the potential to change the world, but has been captured by grifters and has a reputation of rug pulls and scams. CLOUD is our attempt to do better: it represents an ethical, profitable protocol. We’ve been building in this space for more than four years — we’ve seen it all from botted metrics, inflated valuations to self-dealing and outright scams. We’re doing our bit to set a better example for the industry.

The Grifter’s Guide: How to Enrich your Friends and Dump on Retail
CLOUD represents the change we want to see in crypto. These are the values we stand for:
There are many good people in this space, but they're often overshadowed by the grifters. We believe that good people who come to crypto for the right reasons — people who contribute to Sanctum without asking for anything in return — should be rewarded. For the launch of CLOUD, we identified and rewarded these people in our Genesis Airdrop.
Why we believe in rewarding the earnest
We wanted to make sure that everyone could get the same price as our angels and VCs, and that CLOUD went to real people, not snipers or bots.
How CLOUD was the fairest launch
Many projects pay to list on centralised exchanges in order to get more short-term excitement. But these payments usually end up in the hands of mercenary traders who are not committed long-term holders. We believe that it's better to give tokens to the community instead.
Why we refuse to pay for listings
Transparency builds trust; trust builds long-term alignment. Sanctum was also one of only two teams to achieve a perfect 40/40 score on Blockworks’s Token Transparency audit.
Our Commitments:
Projects often sell their tokens secretly to funds, who then dump on retail holders. We have never done that. All CLOUD sales by the Sanctum Foundation — past, present and future — will be disclosed here.
In Q2 2025, Sanctum conducted an internal CLOUD audit, accounting for every single movement of CLOUD since genesis. This gives CLOUD holders the assurance that CLOUD tokens are not frivolously spent.
About the CLOUD internal audit
Sanctum is a real, revenue-generating, and profitable protocol. We build robust infrastructure that powers billions in value. See for yourself with full breakdowns and updates in our Sanctum Quarterlies.
