# Gate (Home)

The Gate is the homepage of The Sanctum. It is the first breath of the shrine — the place where a visitor meets the vessels, the treasury, and the invitation to imprint.

## Anatomy of the Gate

### 1. Hero

A pixel-art shrine backdrop under the title **THE SANCTUM**. Beneath the title:

* A status line — *"Five vessels observed · ledger awake · peace forming"* — which flips to *"Awaiting vessel configuration · ledger dormant"* when no wallets are configured.
* A **Follow @TheSanctumGate on X** button.
* The tagline: *"A spirit of peace, trying to become physical."*
* Three entry points: **Enter the Ritual**, **View the Treasury**, and **Open the Fable Chamber**.

### 2. Live Treasury card

Reads directly from the Solana RPC. Shows:

* The **sum of SOL** across all configured vessels.
* How many of the five vessels are currently configured (e.g. `5/5`).
* A timestamp of the last successful read.
* A visual **treasury pool** — a pixel body of water that fills with the total.

If the RPC is unavailable, the card says so plainly. It never invents a number.

### 3. Ticker

A horizontal-scrolling band of the most recent transactions across all vessels. Each entry is a signature link to Solscan, tagged with the vessel index and the action (inflow / outflow / interaction).

### 4. "The Shrine, in one breath"

A short prose introduction: what the Sanctum is and what it is not. Sets the expectation that the language is mystical and the ledger is transparent.

### 5. Imprinted into reality

The narrative section. A completed pixel-art shrine — the pagoda under the maples — anchors three panels:

* **The Grounds** — raised from the treasury, timbered by transactions.
* **The Dwellers** — every imprinted seeker lives here; their public keys are the beams.
* **The Vow** — as long as the vessels move on-chain, the shrine keeps standing.

### 6. Wallet Imprint

The interactive surface where a seeker binds a Solana address to the Sanctum. See [Imprinting a Wallet](/thesanctum-docs/mechanics/imprinting.md) for the full flow.

# 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. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://thesanctum.gitbook.io/thesanctum-docs/surfaces/gate.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`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.
