1/ The SOL DAT mandate is to increase SOL/share and generate shareholder value. Our infrastructure enables exactly that. An overview of Sanctum & DATs 🧵

2/ To compete with other DATs, few things could be considered as important as earning yield on SOL holdings. And for all DATs, we believe the yield-earning journey should start with an LST. Instead of natively staking SOL and losing liquidity, an LST enables DATs to earn staking yield while distributing their liquidity into other DeFi opportunities to expand yield earnings. Over the course of this year, it’s become clearer that we’re not alone in this belief. We’ve seen @stsssol deploy funds into bonkSOL and JupSOL, @defidevcorp continue building their own dfdvSOL LST, and more. 🔗 Read:

3/ While deploying SOL to already-existing LSTs is a good start, launching a branded LST (like DeFi Dev Corp. did with us) is even better. Doing so is one of the most effective ways for DATs to turn their SOL into a revenue engine, as it enables them to distribute their brand across the DeFi ecosystem and attract additional stake. But, most options to launch an LST box DATs into a one-size-fits-all strategy. Working with Sanctum, DATs can design their LST around their own specific needs. Custom delegation strategies, managing jurisdictional/audit requirements, reserve ratios, and much more can be fine-tuned. The other major benefit of launching with Sanctum is the lack of operational overhead that DATs have to bear. Instead of having to manage liquidity, engineering work to manage day-to-day operations, DeFi integrations, etc., we handle everything. DATs can then focus their efforts on user adoption. 🔗 Read:

4/ For ambitious treasury operations, Sanctum offers Staking-as-a-Service, our full-stack staking solution that plugs DATs into each infrastructure-based layer of the Solana economy. It starts with launching a branded LST, and then we work with teams to reach the point that they can profitably launch their own white-label validator to expand yield earning. For those validators, we handle setup, ongoing maintenance, security, and optimization. Ultimately, this approach is built to enable DATs to expand their yield earning without adding technical demands. 🔗 Read:
