Think of it as a building block that connects one definition to the larger Solana system around it.

Technical context

Place the term inside its Solana layer so the definition is easier to reason about.

Teams, protocols, tools, and the wider Solana product landscape.

Why builders care

Turn the term from vocabulary into something operational for product and engineering work.

This term unlocks adjacent concepts quickly, so it works best when you treat it as a junction instead of an isolated definition.

Concept graph

See the term as part of a network, not a dead-end definition.

These branches show which concepts this term touches directly and what sits one layer beyond them.

Branch

Sanctum

A protocol that unifies fragmented liquidity across Solana's liquid staking token (LST) ecosystem by enabling instant swaps between any LSTs and providing the INF token as a unified liquid staking position. Sanctum solves the cold-start liquidity problem for new LST providers and allows validators to launch their own LSTs.

Branch

Liquid Staking

A mechanism where staked SOL is represented by a transferable token (LST) that accrues staking rewards while remaining usable in DeFi. Instead of locking SOL with a validator, users deposit into a liquid staking pool and receive tokens like mSOL (Marinade), jitoSOL (Jito), or bSOL (BlazeStake). LSTs typically appreciate against SOL at the staking APY.

Branch

Liquidity Pool

A smart-contract-held reserve of two or more tokens that enables trading via an AMM. Users deposit token pairs in specified ratios to become liquidity providers and earn trading fees. Pools are identified by their token pair and fee tier. Pool depth (total value locked) determines price impact for trades.
