Solana’s Jito staking pool has topped $100 million in monthly tips, according to recent Kairos Research. This significant milestone highlights the growing influence of Jito, which has become a dominant force in the Solana ecosystem.
Jito’s success can be attributed to its innovative approach to staking, which leverages a unique combination of technologies to optimize validator performance and maximize rewards for stakers. By prioritizing transactions that offer higher tips, Jito’s validators are able to capture a significant portion of the available rewards.

This surge in tip revenue underscores the increasing importance of MEV (Maximum Extractable Value) in the Solana ecosystem. As the network continues to grow and attract more users, the potential for MEV capture is also expected to increase.
Jito’s dominance in the Solana staking landscape has significant implications for the future of the ecosystem. As more validators adopt Jito’s software, the network’s overall performance and security are likely to improve. Additionally, the increased revenue generated by Jito’s validators could lead to further investment in the Solana ecosystem.
