Jito is a Solana infrastructure protocol that operates two interlocking products: a MEV-aware validator client (used by a substantial share of Solana validators) and the Jito liquid staking token (jitoSOL). Jito launched in 2022 and grew rapidly to become Solana's largest liquid staking provider by TVL, with substantial market share across both the LST market and MEV extraction infrastructure.
In 2026, Jito holds approximately 40% of Solana staked SOL through jitoSOL — comparable to Lido's share of Ethereum staking. Total value in jitoSOL sits in the billions of dollars. Beyond LST, Jito's block engine software is used by a majority of Solana validators for MEV bundling, which produces additional block rewards that flow to jitoSOL holders as elevated staking yield.
JTO is the governance token of Jito DAO, launched via airdrop in December 2023 to Jito users. JTO governs strategic decisions including validator set additions, fee parameters, and treasury operations.
jitoSOL is Solana's largest liquid staking token. When users deposit SOL into Jito, they receive jitoSOL at a market-determined exchange rate that reflects accumulated staking rewards. jitoSOL can be traded, used as collateral, or held for yield accumulation.
The Jito validator client is a modified Solana validator implementation that participates in MEV auctions. When Jito validators produce blocks, they can include MEV-optimised transaction bundles that generate additional revenue. This MEV revenue is redistributed to jitoSOL holders as elevated staking yield — meaningfully above what a non-MEV-aware validator would generate.
The block engine — the software that coordinates MEV auctions between searchers and Jito validators — is operated by Jito Labs. Bundles that generate MEV are auctioned to searchers who bid for inclusion; winning bids flow through Jito to jitoSOL holders.
JTO has a total supply of 1 billion tokens. As of July 2026, circulating supply sits at approximately 275-325 million JTO. Distribution:
JTO governs strategic Jito DAO decisions including validator set additions, MEV distribution parameters, fee structures, and treasury operations. Various fee-sharing mechanisms have been discussed but direct JTO holder revenue capture is progressive rather than automatic.
Jito's 2026 setup is defined by its dominant position in Solana LST and MEV infrastructure. Continued Solana growth compounds Jito's scale advantages; adverse Solana events affect Jito more than diversified protocols would experience.
