A
  • APR (Annual Percentage Rate) - The fixed or variable rate of return on staked assets, excluding compounding effects.
  • APY (Annual Percentage Yield) - The rate of return earned on an investment over a year, including the effect of compounding interest.
B
  • Beacon Chain - A specialized blockchain responsible for managing validators and staking on proof-of-stake networks.
  • Block - A batch of transactions that is verified and added to the Solana blockchain ledger. Blocks contain transaction data, timestamps, and cryptographic links to previous blocks, ensuring a secure and immutable record of activity.
  • Blockchain - A decentralized, digital ledger that records transactions in secure, immutable blocks, linked together in chronological order. It is maintained by a network of nodes that validate and store data, ensuring transparency, security, and trust without a central authority.
  • Bridge - A protocol that allows assets to be transferred between different blockchains.
  • Burn - The process of permanently removing tokens from circulation, reducing supply.
C
  • CLOUD - The native utility and governance token of the Sanctum protocol, designed to decentralize control and accelerate the adoption of liquid staking within the Solana ecosystem.
  • Collateral - Assets locked in a smart contract to back a loan or derivative position.
  • Consensus Mechanism - The process by which blockchain nodes agree on transaction validity (e.g., Proof of Stake).
  • Custodial Staking - Staking done through a third party that holds user assets, as opposed to self-custody staking.
D
  • DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) - A blockchain-based governance model where decisions are made by token holders.
  • Decentralization - The distribution of control across multiple participants rather than a single entity.
  • Delegation - Assigning staked SOL to a validator to earn rewards without running a validator node.
E
  • Epoch - A fixed period of time in Solana’s staking system where rewards are distributed and staking updates occur.
  • Execution Layer - The part of the blockchain where transactions and smart contracts are processed.
F
  • Fee (a.k.a. Transaction Fee) - A small amount of SOL paid for transaction validation on Solana.
  • Futarchy (a.k.a. Funtarchy) - A governance model where decisions are made based on prediction markets, allowing token holders to vote on proposals through market mechanisms, aiming to improve decision-making efficiency and accuracy.​
G
  • Gas (a.k.a. Gas Fees) - Fees paid to execute transactions or smart contracts on a blockchain.
  • Governance - The process by which Sanctum protocol changes are proposed, voted on, and implemented.
I
  • INF (Infinity Pool) - Sanctum's flagship product—a multi-LST liquidity pool supporting an unlimited number of Liquid Staking Tokens (LSTs). Users can deposit SOL or whitelisted LSTs into this pool and receive INF tokens, representing their share of the pool, which generates yield over time.
L
  • Ledger - A decentralized record of all transactions on the Solana blockchain, ensuring transparency and security. It is maintained by nodes and updated with every new block to track account balances and transaction history.
  • Liquidity - The ability to quickly buy or sell assets without significantly impacting price.
  • Liquidity Fragmentation - The division of liquidity across multiple staking tokens, reducing efficiency.
  • Liquid Unstaking - The process of converting staked assets back to SOL instantly, bypassing traditional unstaking wait times.
  • Locked Staking - Staking where funds are locked for a specific period and cannot be accessed.
  • LST (Liquid Staking Token) - Tokens you get for staking, letting you earn rewards while still being able to trade or use your staked value in Defi and other activities.
M
  • Multichain - A system that operates across multiple blockchain networks.
  • MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) - The profit extracted by validators or bots by reordering transactions in a block.
N
  • Node - A computer that participates in the Solana blockchain network, verifying transactions and maintaining the ledger. Nodes help secure the network by storing data, processing transactions, and, in the case of validators, producing new blocks.
O
  • Oracle - A service that feeds real-world data into smart contracts (e.g., price feeds for DeFi).
P
  • Pool - A collective fund where users combine assets for purposes like staking, liquidity provision, or mining, sharing rewards proportionally.
  • PoS (Proof of Stake) - A consensus mechanism where validators stake assets to secure the network and earn rewards.
  • Private Key - A secret code that allows users to access and control their crypto assets. NEVER GIVE THIS TO ANYONE!
R
  • Reserve Pool - A deep liquidity pool of SOL tokens within Sanctum that enables users to redeem their LSTs for SOL immediately, subject to a dynamic fee. This mechanism provides instant liquidity for staked assets.
  • Re-Staking - Using staked tokens as collateral to earn additional rewards in a different protocol.
  • Router - A component of Sanctum that facilitates seamless swapping between different LSTs. It acts as a unified liquidity layer, allowing users to exchange any Solana LST for another without relying on individual liquidity pools.
S
  • Self-Custody - Holding crypto assets without relying on a third party, giving full control to the user.
  • Sanctum - A liquid staking protocol built on the Solana blockchain, aiming to unify fragmented liquidity by aggregating various LSTs into cohesive liquidity pools. Its mission is to make all SOL staked and all staked SOL liquid, enhancing accessibility and flexibility for users.

T
  • Trade (a.k.a. Swap) - The process of exchanging one asset for another, typically on a decentralized exchange (DEX) or within a protocol like Sanctum. In the Sanctum ecosystem, trading allows users to swap SOL for Liquid Staking Tokens (LSTs) or exchange between different LSTs while maintaining liquidity.
  • TVL (Total Value Locked) - The total amount of assets staked or locked in a protocol.
U
  • Unstake - The process of withdrawing your staked tokens, making them available for use or trading again.
  • Unstaking Period - The time required to withdraw staked assets (liquid staking bypasses this delay).
V
  • Validator - A validator is a node operator that secures the Solana blockchain by verifying transactions and earning staking rewards. In Sanctum, validators issue Liquid Staking Tokens (LSTs) to provide stakers with liquidity.
  • Validator Commission - The percentage of staking rewards that a validator takes as a fee.
