Jito Foundation unveils governance token for Solana MEV development

  • Jito Foundation Launches Governance Token (JTO).
  • Impactful Solana MEV Mitigation by Jito Labs.
  • The JTO token will have a total supply of 1 billion.

Jito Foundation, the driving force behind Solana MEV developer Jito,  has made a significant move with the launch of a governance token, JTO.

This move aims to not only manage the protocol but also foster development in the Solana ecosystem. With a total supply of 1 billion JTO tokens, this initiative seeks to democratize decision-making within the Jito Network, allowing community members to play a pivotal role.

Empowering Solana’s liquid staking with JTO tokens

In a bid to address challenges posed by Maximum Extractable Value (MEV) on Solana, Jito Labs, backed by the Jito Foundation, has taken a proactive approach by launching a governance token, called JTO, for the Jito Network.

The Jito MEV network, consisting of validators, has now garnered over 40% of the Solana network’s stake weight. This statistic underscores the practical impact of Jito Labs in mitigating MEV-related issues on the Solana blockchain. Jito’s software enables Solana to run more efficiently and earn MEV rewards.

With a carefully crafted tokenomics model, the Jito Foundation has allocated 34% of the JTO tokens for community growth, emphasizing the importance of grassroots involvement. Additionally, 10% of the tokens are earmarked for an airdrop, a gesture recognizing the vital contributions of community members in bootstrapping the network.

With JTO, users can set fees for the JitoSOL stake pool, update delegation strategies by controlling StakeNet parameters, manage the DAO treasury of JTO tokens and revenue from JitoSOL, and contribute to the enhancement of the Jito Network.

Solana Ventures and Anatoly Yakovenko, co-founder of Solana Labs, are among notable investors in Jito Labs, which successfully raised $10 million in a Series A funding round last year.

This governance token launch by the Jito Foundation aligns with the broader trend of decentralized decision-making within blockchain projects. By involving the community in protocol management and development decisions, the Jito Network aims to strengthen its position within the Solana ecosystem.

DeFi CEO Says ‘No One Cares’ to Deutsche Bank Entry into BTC Custody

Deutsche Bank to offer bitcoin custody solution for institutional clients. Cake Group CEO believes the move will not substantially increase capital inflow or attract new participants. Deutsche Bank’s Paul Maley projects the digital asset sector to grow to trillions of dollars. Julian Hosp, the CEO of DeFi business Cake Group, has shared a skeptical reaction to Deutsche Bank’s newly-launched bitcoin custody services for institutional clients. Responding to a post on X (Twitter) by Bitcoin Magazine announcing the bank’s new services, Hosp wrote “Sadly, no one cares”. In full, his response read, And guess what… sadly no one cares… because everyone in Germany can already buy #bitcoin either with an ETF (that has literally ZERO volume) or on an exchange. All these banks entering the space, are not bringing in extra money or people. They are just re-routing existing… https://t.co/MMZHSbGB9U — Dr. Julian Hosp (@julianhosp) September 15, 2023 T...

MATIC Price Plunges, Have the Bulls Finally Lost Control?

Image
MATIC witnessed a decline in bullish momentum and has lost hold of the $0.74 psychological support. Buying pressure was weak as the CMF hovered around the zero line. Traders might likely short/sell MATIC in the near term since the 50 EMA crossed over the 20 EMA. Polygon (MATIC) brief dip below $0.78 has turned out to be an event that has lasted a whopping five days. Over the last 24 hours, the altcoin had lost 2.32% of its value. But its last 30 days’ performance was controlled by the bulls where MATIC increased by 6.61%. Currently, the MATIC/USD 4-Hour chart shows that the altcoin was hovering around a tight support zone at $0.71. Due to decreased demand, MATIC’s buying strength has been cut off. This indicates bearish dominance around $0.72. For MATIC to regain bullish momentum, the price must rise above the $0.74 psychological level. But if selling pressure outweighs demand, then the recovery attempt could be quenched. Furthermore, bears have ...

PEPE has more multiples to reach its previous all-time high (ATH) compared to DOGE. PEPE will outperform DOGE in the next bull cycle, predicts Miles Deutscher, a renowned cryptocurrency analyst.
