How Jito works

Jito (JTO) is the governance token of a leading Solana liquid staking protocol. Users stake SOL for JitoSOL, which earns staking rewards plus a share of MEV (maximal extractable value) captured on Solana, while remaining liquid for DeFi.

Jito also operates important MEV infrastructure for Solana, making JTO a play on both staking and the chain’s block-production economics.

Staking SOL with Jito mints JitoSOL, which accrues standard staking rewards plus a portion of MEV tips, then can be used across Solana DeFi. Jito’s software is widely used by Solana validators to capture MEV efficiently.

JTO holders govern the protocol and its parameters.
