Jito Liquid Staking protocol
Overview
Jito Liquid Staking is the Solana stake pool operated by Jito Labs and the Jito Foundation that issues JitoSOL, a liquid staking token. Users deposit SOL into the pool and receive JitoSOL, which accrues both ordinary Solana staking rewards and a share of MEV tips captured by validators running Jito's MEV-enabled client — the differentiator versus plain liquid staking. The pool delegates exclusively to validators running software designed to improve network performance and capture MEV, and published guidance describes MEV adding roughly 1-3 percentage points on top of a 6-8% base staking yield. JitoSOL is transferable, so holders can trade it, lend it or post it as collateral in DeFi without unstaking. Distribution of MEV tips is handled by TipRouter: 6% of tips go to stakeholders, of which 5.7% goes to the Jito DAO and 0.15% each to JitoSOL and JTO stakers. JitoSOL is described as Solana's largest MEV-aware liquid staking token. Jito built its liquid staking product around the Jito-Solana MEV-enabled validator client and Block Engine, so that MEV tips flow back to stakers. Governance and reward routing were later formalised through the Jito DAO, the JTO token and the TipRouter distribution mechanism.
