About Jito
Jito is a dual-purpose infrastructure project on Solana. Its core business consists of two parts: JitoSOL liquid staking and the Block Engine/BAM (Block Assembly Marketplace) for MEV management.
JitoSOL solves the problem of low staking returns and MEV profits being monopolized by validators. Users deposit SOL and receive JitoSOL as a receipt, which automatically compounds and additionally shares MEV tip revenue. This raises staking yields above native staking levels.
The Block Engine addresses MEV transparency and centralization issues. The older version was an opaque, centrally operated auction. The newer BAM runs in TEE (Trusted Execution Environment), making the sorting process verifiable while keeping searcher strategies private. It also allows dApps to customize transaction ordering rules.
Jito's core narrative is transforming MEV from predatory extraction into a redistributable income stream. Its competitive moat lies in ecosystem adoption: by early 2026, BAM accounted for 28% of Solana's total stake with 344 validators, and JitoSOL held roughly $753 million in TVL.
Recent developments (2026-03 to 2026-09): BAM grew 155% in Q1 2026. However, MEV tip revenue dropped about 50% in Q2 due to cooling on-chain activity, and protocol income declined for five consecutive quarters. In October 2025, the JitoSOL blacklist committee removed 15 validators for sandwich attacks. In March 2024, Jito Labs had suspended its public mempool over negative externalities. These events highlight ongoing challenges around MEV ethics and revenue volatility.
a16z invested $50 million in Jito, providing capital support to advance Solana's MEV infrastructure.
Jito submitted the S-1 filing for the VanEck JitoSOL ETF, marking institutionalization and enhancing market trust.
JIP-31 proposal suggests redistributing 100% of protocol revenue to validators, optimizing governance and incentive structures.
Jito plans to launch the JTX trading application, expanding from infrastructure to consumer markets, covering spot and derivatives.
