# Sanctum Development Guide A comprehensive guide for building Solana applications with Sanctum - Solana's largest LST (Liquid Staking Token) platform powering 1,361+ LSTs. ## Overview Sanctum provides unified liquid staking infrastructure on Solana: - **Infinity Pool**: Multi-LST liquidity pool with zero-slippage swaps - **Router**: Instant LST-to-LST swaps via stake account routing - **Reserve**: Instant SOL liquidity for LST withdrawals - **LST Creation**: Launch custom liquid staking tokens - **INF Token**: Yield-bearing token representing Infinity pool shares ### Key Stats - 1,361+ LSTs supported - $1.4B+ in swap volume facilitated - ~8,000 SOL ($1M+) in fees shared with stakers - Partners: Jupiter (jupSOL), Bybit (bbSOL), Drift (dSOL), crypto.com (cdcSOL) ## Quick Start ### API Setup ```typescript const SANCTUM_API_BASE = 'https://sanctum-api.ironforge.network'; // All endpoints require API key const headers = { 'Content-Type': 'application/json', }; // Example: Get all LST metadata const response = await fetch( `${SANCTUM_API_BASE}/lsts?apiKey=${API_KEY}` ); const lsts = await response.json(); ``` ### Common LST Addresses ```typescript const LST_MINTS = { // Native SOL (wrapped) SOL: 'So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112', // Sanctum INF (Infinity pool token) INF: '5oVNBeEEQvYi1cX3ir8Dx5n1P7pdxydbGF2X4TxVusJm', // Major LSTs mSOL: 'mSoLzYCxHdYgdzU16g5QSh3i5K3z3KZK7ytfqcJm7So', // Marinade jitoSOL: 'J1toso1uCk3RLmjorhTtrVwY9HJ7...
