What is Jito?

Jito is Solana's leading MEV infrastructure protocol and liquid staking provider. jitoSOL is a liquid staking token that earns standard SOL staking rewards plus MEV (Maximum Extractable Value) tip revenue — collected by Jito's validator client which over 60% of Solana validators run.

Jito processes tip transactions — users pay searchers to include their bundles in blocks, and Jito redistributes 3% of those tips to jitoSOL holders. This makes jitoSOL consistently yield 1–4% more than standard SOL staking.
