Jito

JTO is the governance token of Jito, which runs Solana's JitoSOL staking pool and tools for ordering transactions in blocks.

Jito builds infrastructure for Solana. JitoSOL lets people stake SOL and keep a tradable token; about $1.23 billion was in the pool on 1 October 2026, spread across more than 350 validators. Jito's block engine and Block Assembly Marketplace (BAM) let traders bid to have bundles of transactions placed in blocks, and the tips paid flow to validators and stakers.

Some uses of this ordering power, such as 'sandwich' trades that profit at other users' expense, harm users. Jito's DAO bans validators that sandwich too often from its stake pool.

JTO holders govern the Jito DAO. In July 2026 a proposal, JIP-38, set out that all DAO revenue from JitoSOL, BAM, the block engine and the new JTX trading platform is governed by JTO, and committed the DAO's JTX revenue to buying JTO from the market and burning it until at least late 2027. About 527 million of 1 billion JTO were circulating on 1 October 2026.

JTX, Jito's own trading platform, offers spot trading today and lists perpetual futures and prediction markets as planned.
