+# Sanctum: Should Sanctum build a Sanctum Mobile App (Wonder)?
+
+## Summary
+Sanctum proposed building "Wonder," a consumer mobile app designed to onboard mainstream users into crypto through simplified UX (no seed phrases), yield-bearing asset management, and social features. The proposal emphasized targeting "good" (agentic, integrous, open-minded, earnest) users rather than memecoin traders, with monetization through AUM fees, swap fees, or subscriptions. The proposal failed despite being Sanctum's "largest product decision ever."

+## Market Data
+- **Outcome:** Failed
+- **Proposer:** Sanctum team
+- **Created:** 2025-03-28
+- **Resolved:** 2025-03-31
+- **Discussion:** https://research.sanctum.so/t/cloud-004-should-sanctum-build-a-sanctum-mobile-app-wonder/1607
+
+## Proposal Details
+**Core product features:**
+- Automatic yield optimization on deposits
+- Gasless trades/transfers
+- Fiat offramp via card or bank transfer
+- Curated project discovery and investment
+- Profile-first design (people, not wallet addresses)
+
+**Go-to-market strategy:**
+- Closed beta with high-staking Sanctum community members
+- Invite-code distribution for iteration
+- IRL events for broader distribution after product-market fit
+
+**Stated opportunity cost:**
+Building Wonder would divert resources from B2B staking business and institutional liquid staking expansion (CEX integrations, custodial products, locked SOL).
+
+## Significance
+This proposal represents a major strategic fork for Sanctum: consumer mobile app versus B2B infrastructure. The failure suggests either:
+1. Community skepticism about consumer app viability
+2. Preference for focusing on core staking business
+3. Concerns about opportunity cost and resource allocation
+
+The proposal cited Phantom's $3B valuation and Jupiter's $1.7B market cap as evidence of consumer-facing crypto product value, but the market rejected the pivot.
+
