Jito Labs company
Overview
Jito Labs is the Solana MEV infrastructure company behind Jito-Solana, an MEV-enabled fork of the Solana validator client, and the Jito Block Engine, an off-chain auction service that takes bundles and transactions from searchers and forwards them to the upcoming block leader. That combination turns MEV from an unmanaged externality into an auction whose proceeds flow back to validators and stakers. Adoption is close to universal: reporting describes the Jito client running on the majority of Solana mainnet stake, with figures citing over 95% of Solana's active staking. Together with the Jito Foundation, Jito Labs stewards JitoSOL — Solana's largest MEV-aware liquid staking token — the StakeNet validator scoring system, the Jito Restaking and Vault programs that power Node Consensus Networks, a merkle-based token distributor used for airdrops, and the JTO governance token. JTO has a total supply of 1 billion; by July 2026 it had a market capitalisation of roughly $351 million on around 491 million circulating tokens. Jito Labs built the Jito-Solana MEV client and Block Engine, which became the dominant validator software on Solana. It launched the JTO governance token and, with the Jito Foundation, expanded into restaking and vault programs for Node Consensus Networks alongside the JitoSOL liquid staking token.
