## Products

- [Jito StakeNet ](https://thegrid.id/profiles/Jito): Decentralized Solana stake pool manager combining StakeNet Steward and Validator History programs for autonomous stake operations. (Staking Service, Live)
- [Jito-Solana Client](https://thegrid.id/profiles/Jito): Fork of Solana Labs client with MEV-extraction capabilities and improved spam mitigation. (Node Software, Live, Main Product)
- [Jito Block Engine](https://thegrid.id/profiles/Jito): Off-chain auction system for MEV-maximizing transaction bundles. (Developer Tooling, Inactive/Support Ended)
- [Block Assembly Marketplace (BAM)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/Jito): BAM implements transaction sequencing through Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs), enabling programmable block construction via custom plugins. The system operates through BAM Nodes that privately sequence transactions using hardware-based secure enclaves, and BAM Validators executing the ordered transactions. The plugin framework allows developers to define application-specific ordering logic, supporting features like priority cancellations and synchronized oracle updates. (Developer Tooling, Live)
- [JitoSOL Liquid Staking Pool](https://thegrid.id/profiles/Jito): JitoSOL is the liquid staking pool that enables users to stake SOL and receive JitoSOL tokens representing their stake position, earning both traditional staking rewards and MEV rewards from validators running Jito-Solana client while maintaining liquidity for DeFi usage. (Liquid Staking, Live)
- [Jito Explorer](https://thegrid.id/profiles/Jito): Jito Explorer is the MEV analytics dashboard providing real-time data visualization of bundles submitted, total tips distributed, MEV rewards, and validator performance metrics across the Jito ecosystem. (Block Explorer, Live)
- [Jito Restaking](https://thegrid.id/profiles/Jito): Jito Restaking enables users to stake SPL tokens across multiple networks simultaneously through Node Consensus Networks, allowing staked assets to provide security to additional protocols while earning rewards from multiple sources. (Staking Service, Live)
- [TipRouter NCN](https://thegrid.id/profiles/Jito): TipRouter NCN is the Node Consensus Network that decentralizes MEV tip distribution across the Jito ecosystem, distributing 6% of MEV tips to stakeholders including Jito DAO, JitoSOL stakers, and JTO governance token stakers. (Staking Service, Live)

## Assets

- [Jito Staked SOL (JitoSOL)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/Jito): JitoSOL is a liquid staking token representing staked SOL on Jito. It is used to earn a combination of staking rewards and MEV rewards while maintaining liquidity for use in DeFi applications. Unlike traditional liquid staking tokens, JitoSOL holders receive additional MEV rewards captured through an auction system that bundles transactions, allowing stakers to earn enhanced yields beyond standard staking returns. (Liquid Staking Tokens (LSTs))
- [JITO (JTO)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/Jito): JTO is the governance token of the Jito Network on Solana. It is used to vote on protocol upgrades, parameter adjustments, and treasury allocations across Jito's MEV infrastructure and liquid staking products. The DAO treasury captures revenue from multiple protocol streams, allowing token holders to direct how fees from JitoSOL staking rewards and MEV tips are managed and distributed. (Governance)
