Jito
Solana's leading MEV infrastructure and a major LST — operates the Jito-Solana validator client, the Block Engine MEV auction, and the JitoSOL liquid-staking token.
Jito ships several stacked products on Solana. The Jito-Solana validator client is a fork of the canonical validator with an integrated MEV pipeline: transactions bundle through the Block Engine auction, where searchers bid SOL for priority access. The captured MEV is distributed back to validators and stakers.
JitoSOL is the protocol's liquid staking token, routing stake to high-performing validators in the MEV-aware set. It is the largest Solana LST by TVL after marinade's mSOL.
