+# Sanctum: Should Sanctum build a Sanctum Mobile App (Wonder)?
+
+## Summary
+Proposal to develop "Wonder," a mobile app focused on onboarding mainstream users to crypto through simplified UX (no seed phrases), yield optimization on assets, gasless transactions, and social features prioritizing profiles over wallet addresses. The app would target users interested in earning/raising capital and participating in aligned projects rather than memecoin trading.

+- **Outcome:** Failed
+- **Proposer:** proPaC9tVZEsmgDtNhx15e7nSpoojtPD3H9h4GqSqB2
+- **Resolution:** 2025-03-31 (3 days after proposal)
+
+## Significance
+Represents a major strategic pivot for Sanctum from B2B liquid staking infrastructure to consumer-facing mobile application. The proposal explicitly acknowledged this as "the largest product decision ever made by the Sanctum team" and sought governance validation despite not requiring community CLOUD funds. The failure signals community preference for Sanctum to maintain focus on core staking business rather than pursue consumer app distribution.
+
+The proposal cited competitive context: Phantom raised at $3B valuation, Jupiter trades at $1.7B market cap, MetaMask generated $320M in swap fees. Sanctum positioned itself as having unique combination of "fun" product design and "competence and safety" (safeguarding >$1B in funds).
+
+## Relationship to KB
+- [[sanctum]] - governance decision on strategic direction
+- [[futardio]] - platform for futarchy-governed proposal
+- Related to consumer crypto onboarding and mobile wallet competition themes

-# Sanctum: Should Sanctum build a Sanctum Mobile App (Wonder)?
-
-## Summary
-Sanctum proposed building "Wonder," a mobile app designed to onboard mainstream users into crypto through yield-bearing assets, gasless transactions, and curated project participation. The proposal emphasized user safety (no seed phrases), people-first design (profiles over addresses), and potential monetization through AUM fees, swap fees, or subscriptions. The governance vote failed.

-## Market Data
-- **Outcome:** Failed
-- **Proposer:** Sanctum team
-- **Resolution:** 2025-03-31 (3 days after proposal)
-
-## Strategic Context
-The proposal represented a major strategic pivot from B2B liquid staking infrastructure to consumer mobile app. Sanctum cited competitive pressure (Phantom $3B valuation, Jupiter $1.7B market cap, MetaMask $320M swap fees) and opportunity cost of not capturing end-user value. The team acknowledged building consumer mobile apps is "notoriously hard" and would affect focus on core B2B staking business.
-
-## Significance
-This failed proposal reveals governance skepticism about consumer app pivots even from teams with strong technical credentials. Sanctum manages $1B+ in staked assets but the community rejected expansion into direct consumer distribution, suggesting preference for infrastructure focus over end-user capture.
