Overview

Jito is a leading infrastructure provider in the Solana ecosystem, designed to maximize staking efficiency and liquidity through MEV-optimized infrastructure and deep DeFi integrations. By combining staking rewards with additional MEV rewards, Jito enables both validators and stakers to enhance their yield. The JitoSOL liquid staking pool allows users to stake SOL and receive JitoSOL, a Liquid Staking Token (LST) that accrues both staking and MEV rewards while remaining usable across Solana's DeFi ecosystem. With a Total Value Locked (TVL) of 14 million SOL and over 90% of Solana's network-stake weight running the Jito-Solana client (as of November 2024), Jito is the most liquid and dominant LST provider on Solana. Beyond staking, Jito expands into restaking with its multi-asset staking protocol that tokenizes staked assets into Vault Receipt Tokens (VRTs), offering greater liquidity, composability, and customizable staking parameters for Node Consensus Networks (NCNs). This restaking solution enhances security, fosters network growth, and accelerates ecosystem development, positioning Jito as a critical driver of Solana's scalability and DeFi infrastructure.
