Jito's Importance
- Jito isn't just a Solana app; it's integral to the protocol, like Lido on Ethereum.
- It combines a validator client, staked SOL token (JITOSOL), and MEV optimization engine.
JitoSol and Decentralization
- Staking SOL to a single validator limits decentralization.
- JitoSol enhances this by distributing stake across multiple global validators.
MEV Optimization
- Basic staking pools optimize for decentralization and performance.
- Jito's MEV optimization elevates it beyond standard staking pools.
