Sanctum Wonderland Season 1 ended before the CLOUD token launched on July 18, 2024. The old tasks in this guide can no longer create eligibility for that launch distribution. Sanctum’s June 2025 transparency report accounts for the genesis distribution as completed, including 88,042,001 CLOUD distributed through the initial airdrop.
CLOUD now exists as Sanctum’s governance token, and the protocol has moved on to CLOUD staking, governance and later reward programs with their own snapshots and deadlines. Buying SOL, holding INF, depositing into Kamino or Meteora, collecting an old pet, or using the archived referral code does not retroactively qualify a wallet for Wonderland Season 1.
Safety warning: The 2024 links and referral instructions below are archived, not a current claim guide. Navigate from
sanctum.soto any official product or governance interface. The verified CLOUD mint isCLoUDKc4Ane7HeQcPpE3YHnznRxhMimJ4MyaUqyHFzAu; a token with the same name and a different mint is not CLOUD.
Sanctum airdrop status in 2026
| Campaign or product | Current status |
|---|---|
| Wonderland Season 1 | Ended; its EXP cutoff and profile activity were used for the July 2024 CLOUD launch distribution |
| Launch airdrop | Launched July 18, 2024; 10% of the one-billion-token supply was allocated across “Capital” and “Earnestness” before forfeitures and adjustments |
| Old referral cupcake/code | Historical only; cannot generate Season 1 EXP now |
| Kamino INF point farming described below | Historical strategy and separate third-party protocol exposure, not current launch eligibility |
| Meteora INF-SOL pools described below | Liquidity provision, not a guaranteed Sanctum or Meteora reward |
| CLOUD governance and staking | Live products introduced after the genesis distribution; later incentives use separate rules and deadlines |
If a wallet had a historical allocation but never claimed, do not assume that a search result or direct message is valid. Start at Sanctum’s official site and consult its current support or documentation; this article does not confirm that an old allocation remains claimable.
What is Sanctum?
Sanctum provides liquid-staking infrastructure on Solana. Its products help create and manage liquid staking tokens (LSTs), route swaps among SOL and LSTs, and provide shared liquidity through Infinity.
An LST represents staked SOL plus its accumulated value under the relevant stake-pool rules. It can be transferred or used in DeFi while the underlying SOL remains delegated, but it is not the same as native SOL and may trade away from its redemption value during stressed or illiquid conditions.
How Infinity and INF work now
INF represents a share of Sanctum Infinity, a pool containing multiple Solana LSTs. According to the Sanctum documentation, INF value can accrue from the underlying staking rewards and swap fees earned by the pool.
Sanctum launched INF v2 in March 2026 and changed its revenue model to a 5% performance fee on INF yield. That makes the old claim that users can simply “start passively earning every second” incomplete: return depends on validator and pool performance, fees, exchange-rate movement and risks, and a displayed APY is not guaranteed.
INF should also not be described as rigidly “pegged” to SOL. It is a redeemable pool-share asset whose SOL-denominated exchange rate changes as rewards and fees accrue; market prices can differ from protocol redemption value.
CLOUD token and governance
Sanctum minted one billion CLOUD, burned the mint and freeze authorities, and published the token accounts and distribution plan. The launch allocated 10% to the initial airdrop and 10% to launch liquidity.
The airdrop used two categories:
- Capital: proportional to eligible Wonderland Season 1 EXP after anti-Sybil filtering.
- Earnestness: based on community contributions reviewed by the team before its July 1, 2024 cutoff.
Sanctum introduced CLOUD governance and staked CLOUD (sCLOUD) in 2025. Unstaking sCLOUD uses a 30-day linear release according to Sanctum’s current staking announcement. Any active-staking reward round is a separate program; for example, the first 2025 ASR round had an August 20, 2025 claim deadline. Do not treat an expired ASR notice as a standing reward promise.
Risks of SOL liquid staking and DeFi farming
The old guide combined several distinct risks to pursue an uncertain reward:
- Stake-pool and upgrade risk: Sanctum’s LST programs are upgradeable through an 11-member multisig described in its documentation.
- Validator risk: underlying validators can underperform, go offline or be affected by Solana network events.
- Liquidity and price risk: an LST or INF can trade below its protocol exchange value when liquidity is thin or demand changes.
- Pool risk: liquidity positions can lose value relative to simply holding the assets; concentrated-liquidity ranges require active management.
- Composability risk: supplying INF to another protocol adds that protocol’s contract, oracle, liquidation and governance risks.
- Transaction risk: swaps, deposits and withdrawals have slippage, priority fees, routing and wrong-token risks.
- Incentive risk: points and quests do not create an enforceable right to a token allocation unless official terms say so.
The archived “Virtual Price” explanation is also oversimplified. A pool-share virtual price is an accounting metric under that pool’s formula; a value above one does not prove that the difference came entirely from fees or represent a guaranteed percentage return.
Safe way to use Sanctum
- Open
sanctum.sodirectly and follow its product link rather than a claim advertisement. - Verify the Solana token mint, wallet transaction instructions and expected asset before signing.
- Start with a small amount and understand whether you are staking, swapping, providing liquidity or lending—the risks differ.
- Check current withdrawal, pool and performance fees in the interface and documentation.
- Treat third-party integrations such as lending markets and liquidity pools as additional protocols to research separately.
- Never share a seed phrase or install “claim verification” software.

Sanctum is a platform on Solana that aims to make staking more flexible. It wants to turn all the SOL tokens you stake into something you can easily trade, like a special kind of token called Liquid Staking Tokens (LSTs). Sanctum has officially finalised its airdrop campaign, known as Sanctum Wonderland, which is currently in Season 1. And with our guide, you can start passively earning every second! Here is our Sanctum token airdrop guide.
The original step-by-step video was not preserved during the site import.
What is Sanctum?
Sanctum is a project focused on enhancing the liquid staking ecosystem on the Solana blockchain. Here’s a brief summary of Sanctum’s main features:
- Mission: To make all SOL staked and all staked SOL liquid, aiming for a future where Liquid Staking Tokens (LSTs) are easily accessible to everyone.
- Core Functions: The app includes various tabs that house its core functions, designed to facilitate the issuance and investment in LSTs.
- Developer Support: Provides technical documentation for developers interested in the project.
- Accessibility: Strives to allow users to issue their own LSTs without liquidity concerns and to explore a wide range of LSTs for investment.
Sanctum has recently closed a funding round led by Dragonfly Capital and other top VCs for US$6.1 million dollars.
How to get the Sanctum token airdrop?
Time needed: 1 hour
Here's how to get the Sanctum token airdrop
- Obtain Solana ($SOL) tokens Get some Solana ($SOL) tokens onto your Solana wallet. Solana ($SOL) tokens can be obtained from most major cryptocurrency exchanges such as Bybit or BingX. The original exchange referral promotions have been removed.
- Stake SOL tokens for Infinty or liquid staking tokens Connect your wallet to https://app.sanctum.so/infinity and stake your SOL tokens for Infinity ($INF) tokens. Infinity ($INF) tokens are a yield-bearing asset pegged to Solana. You can also stake SOL tokens for liquid staking tokens (LSTs).
- Swap SOL tokens for Infinty tokens On the same page as step 2 above, go to the “Swap” tab and swap other Liquid Staking Tokens into Infinity ($INF) tokens.
- Deposit Infinity ($INF) to Kamino Finance Connect your wallet to Kamino Finance. On the “Borrow/Lend” tab, scroll down to the INF market. Click “Supply” to deposit your Infinity ($INF) tokens. This is so you can farm points for Season 2. Note however there is a downside of no supply or borrow APY being distributed for this. This means you will not be earning yield from supplying $INF on Kamino.
- Deposit INF into Meteora’s DLMM Pools Meteora is another liquidity hub. It does not have a token yet, but there is a possibility that it may have one and do a token airdrop in the future. Meteora however has DLMM Pools for INF, which you can pair with SOL in order to farm a potential airdrop. To deposit INF into Meteora’s DLMM Pools, connect your wallet to the Meteora app and go to the “DLMM” tab at the top of the page. Find an INF-SOL pool to deposit your tokens. You may want to consider looking for pools to deposit that have the highest volume and TVL. However, when depositing onto Meteora’s DLMM Pools, be cautious of impermanent loss risks and remember to actively monitor your position.
- Alternative: deposit to normal pools on Meteora For a slightly lower risk alternative to DLMM Pools, you can consider using normal pools on Meteora. These can be found under the “Pools” tab. However, when using the normal pools, you should be aware of the Virtual Price value, which represents the value of your deposited LP token. The Virtual Price indicates if you are earning or losing money on your LP tokens. If the Virtual Price value is above 1, then you are earning from fees. For example, a Virtual Price value of 1.003 means that you are effectively earning 0.3% of the fees from this pool. On the other hand, if the Virtual Price value is less than 1, then it means you are losing money on your LP tokens. Note however you should still actively monitor your position on the pools you have deposited assets into on Meteora or any other protocol.
- NEW: Participate in Sanctum Wonderland Season 1 To participate in Sanctum Wonderland Season 1, users connected a wallet to the former Wonderland page. The original referral code has been removed.
- Get a Sanctum Pet Sanctum has a total of 18 pets, and each LST has its corresponding Pet. To get a Sanctum Pet, you will only need to hold a minimum of 0.1 SOL worth of the corresponding LST. To get the Pet, click on its image and then “Buy”. Each Pet you own will allow you to earn 10 EXP per minute for every 1 SOL worth of the corresponding LST that you hold.
- Level up and evolve your Pet Your Pets will automatically level up as they gain EXP. The maximum level a Pet can reach is level 999. Upon reaching a certain level, Pets will evolve, and there are a maximum of 3 evolutions per Pet. This feature is coming soon so stay tuned!
