Jito staking — common questions
What is MEV and how does Jito use it?
MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) refers to extra profit validators earn by reordering transactions. Jito's validator client captures these tips and redistributes them to JitoSOL holders.
Is JitoSOL better than mSOL?
JitoSOL typically offers slightly higher APY due to MEV. Both are solid choices; Marinade distributes stake more broadly for better decentralization.
