JITOSOL ($JITO)

Infrastructure for internet capital markets

“Building a blockchain fast enough for the Internet's Capital Markets was the first challenge Solana had to overcome. Building one where those markets can function fairly is now the second. Jito is at the forefront of that effort.”

Job barely finished

Today we are announcing that @a16zcrypto is making an investment in @jito_sol (JTO) tokens and partnering with @buffalu__ @segfaultdoctor @brian_smith_0 and team to help Solana become the dominant venue for Internet Capital Markets.

@Solana was founded in 2017 to build a blockchain fast enough to power global financial markets. At the time, the best blockchains could process only tens of transactions per second. To come anywhere close to its goal, Solana needed to scale blockchains by 1,000x. Today, after eight years, Solana is well on its way to deliver on that promise. It has become one of the dominant DeFi ecosystems in the space, processing thousands of transactions per second with each one finalizing in less than a second and for a fraction of a penny in fees.

But scaling a blockchain is not the only hard problem that Solana has had to solve. As soon as there is meaningful financial activity running on any blockchain, another more subtle problem that has to do with incentives begins to emerge.

This is where Jito comes in.

Imagine a busy stock exchange where thousands of orders arrive every second, and one person gets to decide the exact order in which they execute. That person has the power to place their own orders strategically in the queue: buying right before a large order pushes the price up, for example, or selling right before a large order pushes it down. On blockchains, that kind of value capture is called Maximal Extractable Value, or MEV. It's the value that can be extracted by whomever gets to decide whether to include, exclude, or reorder transactions in a block.

Since 2021, when Jito entered the scene, their team has been hard at work building most of the infrastructure that packages and shuttles Solana transactions from users' devices all the way to the validators that finalize them on the chain. Jito’s goal with their latest innovation—called the Block Assembly Marketplace (BAM)—is to address some of the more insidious forms of MEV.

BAM does that through two core mechanisms. First, it leverages specialized hardware to keep transactions encrypted until the moment they execute. That precludes the visibility that otherwise enables predatory validators to reorder transactions. The end result is better prices for users. Second, it introduces a plugin system that allows Solana applications to define their own transaction ordering rules. A decentralized exchange, for example, can opt to prioritize cancellations over new trades, protecting market makers from losing money on stale quotes. That empowers market makers to quote tighter spreads, which also leads to better prices for users.

The end result is a network that extends Solana and unlocks onchain primitives—like central limit order books and dark pools—that have historically been impractical because of MEV.

Building a blockchain fast enough for the Internet's Capital Markets was the first challenge Solana had to overcome. Building one where those markets can function fairly is now the second. Jito is at the forefront of that effort.

Atomic Arb bots are making great use of DFlow JIT for onchain searching

Latest strat seems to be:

2 DFlow JIT instructions, each one with 5 candidates (tessera, humidifi x 3, solfiv2) in opposite directions

sent via Jito. if not profitable, doesn't land. no failed tx fees

New signers used each to to avoid getting flagged as toxic flow

From December 2024 to 2025 I have earned 6 different airdrops and still counting from Solana ecosystem

They include the following:
. $JUP
. $PENGU
. $MOON
. $ADNS.

then am expecting to get allocation from $MET token airdrop this month

In summary, I have noticed one thing Solana ecosystem can never in a whole year do not airdrop the community

Right from the creation of $SOL to $BONK, $JUP , $PENGU, $JITO, $PYTH, $CANTO etc

$MET TGE is right around the corner!☄️
Position yourself by interacting with jup dex, staking BONK, JUP and lock some liquidity on some protocols to position yourself for future Airdrops.

looks good

send it

Family. 🤝

Sui에는 왜 MEV이야기가 없을까?

디파이에서 빼놓을수 없는 이슈는 MEV(Maximal Extractable Value) 입니다.

블록체인은 선입선출(먼저 들어온 트랜잭션을 먼저 처리) 하는게 아니라 블록 단위로 실행하기 때문에, 블록을 만드는 밸리데이터가 어떤 트랜잭션을 먼저 실행할지를 마음대로 결정할수 있습니다.
이를 사용해 사용자의 거래 트랜잭션에서 밸리데이터가 뽕을 뽑는 여러가지 행위를 MEV라고 합니다. (우리가 스왑을 할때 슬리피지를 설정하는 이유이기도 하죠)
MEV에 대해 보다 자세히 알고 싶으신 분은 인용한 포스트를 참고하세요.

유독 Sui 에서는 이 MEV에 대한 이야기가 나오지 않습니다.
최근 @MMTFinance 으로 Sui 디파이에 대한 관심도가 집중되었음에도 말이죠.

결론부터 말하자면, Sui는 합의 프로토콜 특성상 전통적인 형태의 MEV가 발생할수 없습니다.
Sui는 Narwhal–Bullshark 라는 고유한 합의 알고리즘을 사용하는데, 이는 밸리데이터가 트랜잭션의 순서를 결정할수 있는 권한이 매우 제한적인 알고리즘입니다.
때문에 Sui는 체인 초창기에 자신들을 MEV공격에서 안전한 블록체인이라고 홍보하기도 했죠.

하지만 완전히 MEV가 불가능하다고 하기는 어렵습니다.
Momentum과 같은 AMM DEX는 Shared object 형태입니다. 여기서 트랜잭션의 순서는 여전히 중요한데, 누가 먼저 해당 풀에 접근하는지에 따라 가격과 실행 결과가 달라질수 있습니다.
하지만 이때 풀에 접근하는 트랜잭션의 순서를 결정하는것이 개개인의 밸리데이터가 아니기 때문에 현실적으로 개별 밸리데이터들이 MEV를 하는것이 구조적으로 불가능합니다.
즉, 트랜잭션 순서를 결정하는 권력이 밸리데이터에게 있는것이 아니라 전통적인 Web2처럼 누가 먼저 네트워크에 넣느냐에 있는 것이죠.
때문에 빠른 레이턴시의 노드를 가진 트레이딩 봇이나 인텐트 솔버들이 MEV를 시도할수는 있습니다.

정리하자면,
- Sui는 트랜잭션의 실행 순서를 결정하는 것이 밸리데이터가 아닌, 마치 Web2처럼 누가 먼저 네트워크에 넣는지임.
- 때문에 합의 알고리즘 특성상 밸리데이터가 거래 순서를 조정해 사용자 트랜잭션을 공격하는 전통적인 MEV가 불가능
- 대신 남들이 보낸 트랜잭션을 감지한 뒤 먼저 네트워크에 넣으려는 트레이딩 봇, 인텐스 솔버들은 MEV를 시도할수 있음
