About Jito (JTO/USD)
Jito was founded to address Solana's maximum extractable value (MEV) problem and launched its liquid staking product in 2022. Jito operates a modified Solana validator client that includes a block engine, allowing searchers to submit MEV bundles to validators for inclusion in blocks. A portion of the MEV tips paid by searchers is redistributed to jitoSOL holders, supplementing their standard SOL staking yield. The JTO governance token was distributed via airdrop in December 2023 and grants holders control over the Jito DAO, which governs parameters including the MEV tip distribution rate and protocol fee structure. Jito rapidly became one of the largest liquid staking protocols on Solana by TVL. JTO/USD on StoicFX is a CFD, no JTO tokens are purchased or held on your behalf.

FAQ
What is MEV and how does Jito capture it on Solana?
Maximum extractable value (MEV) refers to profit that can be extracted by reordering, inserting, or censoring transactions within a block. On Solana, Jito operates a custom validator client with a block engine that accepts MEV bundles from searchers (automated bots that find arbitrage, liquidation, and sandwich opportunities). Searchers pay tips to have their bundles prioritized. Jito collects these tips and distributes a portion to jitoSOL stakers, effectively letting passive stakers share in MEV revenue that would otherwise accrue entirely to validators and searchers.
How does jitoSOL differ from regular SOL staking?
Standard Solana staking involves locking SOL with a validator and receiving staking rewards as new SOL emissions. jitoSOL is a liquid staking token representing staked SOL in Jito's pool. It accrues both standard staking yield and MEV tip revenue, so its exchange rate against SOL increases over time faster than non-MEV liquid staking tokens. jitoSOL can be used as collateral in DeFi protocols while the underlying SOL continues earning staking and MEV rewards.
How was the JTO token distributed?
JTO launched via airdrop in December 2023 to early jitoSOL holders, Jito network participants, and contributors. The airdrop was one of the largest in Solana's history by value at the time of distribution and attracted significant attention to both the token and the Jito protocol. The distribution rewarded users who had staked SOL through Jito before the governance token existed, creating a retroactive incentive for early ecosystem participation.
If I trade JTO/USD on StoicFX, do I hold any JTO tokens?
No. JTO/USD on StoicFX is a Contract for Difference. You trade JTO's price against the US dollar without holding any tokens. To stake SOL through Jito, earn MEV-enhanced yield, or participate in Jito DAO governance you would need actual JTO or jitoSOL tokens in a Solana-compatible wallet.
