# Kamino

## Overview
Kamino is a Solana-based DeFi protocol providing managed liquidity vaults that automatically rebalance concentrated liquidity positions. As of 2025, Kamino vaults represent over 95% of xSOL-SOL liquidity on Solana AMMs, demonstrating that users prefer third-party managed positions over manual liquidity provision.

## Timeline
- **2025-03-05** — Sanctum selected Kamino vaults for INF-SOL liquidity incentives, citing that 95%+ of existing xSOL-SOL liquidity comes from Kamino managed positions
- **2025-03-05** — INF-SOL Kamino vault demonstrated outperformance versus 100% INF HODL strategy, attributed to high capital velocity (trading volume relative to TVL)
