LSTs on Solana are deemed secure when their full value can be redeemed in a single swap for the same value in SOL, the native ecosystem token for Solana. As mentioned prior, pathSOL is unique in its yield distribution, in that yield is allocated to the team, rather than accruing to the value of the LST. This means that for pathSOL to be 'secure', it must always be pegged 1:1 to the exact value of SOL. ### How does 1 pathSOL always stay equal to 1 SOL? Introducing... Sanctum’s Infinity Reserve! \ \ Thanks to the Sanctum router and the Infinity pool it is extremely unlikely that pathSOL will de-peg. ### Bonus pathSOL technical details pathSOL was minted using the Sanctum Multi-validator SPL Stake Pool Program: `SPMBzsVUuoHA4Jm6KunbsotaahvVikZs1JyTW6iJvbn` and uses a version of the [SPL stake pool program 4](https://spl.solana.com/stake-pool). Multiple security firms have audited the stake pool program nine times to ensure total safety of funds. So far it has controlled $1B+ of value over more than two years, with no exploits found. Of course, just because a contract has not been exploited in the past does not mean it will never ever be exploited in the future, but it is clear that the stake pool program is one of the safest programs in the world. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://project-pathfinders.gitbook.io/project-pathfinders/pathsol-docs/is-pathsol-safe.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
