Jito vs LayerZero

Jito offers liquid staking on Solana with MEV‑sharing that redistributes validator MEV and priority fees to JitoSOL holders. Its client integrates the open‑source Jito Labs validator, which has captured up to 60 % of Solana MEV slots. In April 2025 Jito launched a restaking beta aligned with the upcoming Solana Firedancer client.
