What the data says
HSOL
hSOL comes from the company most Solana developers already depend on without thinking about it. Helius runs a huge share of the chain's RPC infrastructure — the nodes applications talk to — and parlayed that operational credibility into a liquid staking token: stake through Helius, receive hSOL at mint he1iusmfkpAdwvxLNGV8Y1iSbj4rUy6yMhEA3fotn9A, earn validator rewards with the pitch of zero fees and stake supporting Helius's validator operation. The October 6, 2026 snapshot shows roughly $114.4 million staked across 11,077 holders — a developer-skewed crowd, fittingly.
Class mechanics, present and correct: freeze authority revoked, so no holder's balance can be locked; supply minted and burned by the stake pool program as stake flows — the liquid-staking engine rather than a discretionary mint; value compounding against SOL as rewards land. Like jupSOL, hSOL concentrates stake toward its sponsor's validator, so the same honest trade applies: excellent staker economics, paid for by nudging the network's stake distribution toward one well-run operator.
INF
INF is a different animal from the other staked-SOL tokens on this site: it's the pool of pools. Sanctum's Infinity holds a basket of many liquid staking tokens at once, and INF — mint 5oVNBeEEQvYi1cX3ir8Dx5n1P7pdxydbGF2X4TxVusJm — represents a share of that basket, earning both the underlying staking yield and trading fees whenever anyone swaps one LST for another through the pool. The October 6, 2026 snapshot values it at roughly $233.6 million across 42,083 holders — a genuinely broad base for a product this structurally wonky.
The appeal is diversification where the LST field is most fragmented: instead of picking whether jupSOL or hSOL or bSOL wins, INF holds the field and clips fees from its churn. The cost is a second layer of moving parts. A vanilla LST asks you to trust one stake pool program; INF asks you to trust Sanctum's multi-pool machinery plus every constituent LST inside it — a stress event in any large member token transmits into the basket that contains it.
FAQ
Which is bigger, HSOL or INF?
By tracked market cap: HSOL (Solana) measures $114.37M and INF (Solana) measures $233.62M — dated snapshots, not a live feed.
Which is safer, HSOL or INF?
On the contract checks we publish: HSOL (Solana) grades A and INF (Solana) grades A. A grade is a structural check on the contract, not a promise about the asset.
How have HSOL and INF performed over the shared window?
Between 2026-09-08 and 2026-10-17T03:15:24, the measured snapshots show HSOL at +1.75% and INF at +1.93%.
The grade column is the one CMC's compare page cannot print — our grade is computed from the contract itself (mint/freeze authority, liquidity, holder concentration). Changes are measured over the shared window stated on the chart, 2026-09-08→2026-10-17T03:15:24; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
