All the latest news and key insights you need from Jito
Jito is a liquid staking and MEV (Maximum Extractable Value) infrastructure protocol built on the Solana blockchain. It enables users to stake SOL while receiving JitoSOL, a liquid staking token that remains usable across decentralized finance (DeFi) applications. Alongside liquid staking, Jito develops validator and block engine infrastructure that optimizes transaction execution, captures MEV opportunities, and distributes additional rewards to participants, making staking more capital-efficient and rewarding.
Jito was created to solve the inefficiencies of traditional staking on Solana. Normally, staking requires users to lock their SOL, preventing them from using those assets in DeFi while earning rewards. Additionally, MEV opportunities generated during transaction processing were often not efficiently shared with stakers. Jito addresses both challenges by introducing liquid staking through JitoSOL and developing MEV infrastructure that allows users to earn standard staking rewards plus a share of MEV revenue while keeping their capital productive.
JTO is the native governance token of the Jito ecosystem. It enables the community to participate in decentralized governance and influence the future direction of the protocol.
The JTO token is used to vote on governance proposals related to protocol upgrades, validator policies, treasury management, ecosystem incentives, and strategic development. While JitoSOL functions as the liquid staking token, JTO serves as the governance asset that aligns the interests of users, validators, developers, and the broader Jito community, supporting the long-term decentralization and growth of the ecosystem.
:contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0} launched JitoSOL, a liquid staking token that combines Solana staking rewards with MEV rewards generated through the Jito validator network.
The JTO governance token was launched alongside a community airdrop, enabling decentralized governance of the Jito protocol.
Jito DAO became operational, allowing JTO holders to vote on protocol upgrades, treasury management, and ecosystem initiatives.
Jito expanded its ecosystem with the TipRouter upgrade, improving MEV reward distribution while strengthening its position as Solana's leading liquid staking and MEV infrastructure protocol.
