About Jito Protocol

Jito Network plays a significant role in the Solana ecosystem through its JitoSOL liquid staking pool and a range of MEV products.

Investors can convert their SOL into JitoSOL, preserving SOL’s liquidity and access to DeFi opportunities while earning staking rewards. Notably, JitoSOL offers additional benefits by sharing transaction revenue generated from MEV extraction on Solana.

MEV, or Maximum Extractable Value, refers to profit opportunities arising from the order of transaction execution. For instance, significant swaps on platforms like Orca can create price disparities that savvy traders exploit for profit, known as arbitrage and classified as MEV.

To address the challenges posed by MEV, the Jito Foundation was established, aiming to mitigate negative impacts, ensure fair profit distribution through campaigns like airdrops, and enhance transparency. Additionally, Jito has introduced an open-source validator client to foster a competitive landscape for MEV extraction
