Solana Transaction Revolution: How Jito Fights MEV Attacks for Beginners

In the rapidly evolving blockchain space, Solana has become the go-to chain for DeFi and meme token launches with its 65,000 TPS throughput and $0.00025 per transaction** (2025 data). However, MEV attacks and network congestion are growing challenges. Jito Labs’ MEV optimization protocol, integrated with PandaTool, offers an innovative solution.

Why Solana Needs Jito: Opportunities and Challenges

Jito is a liquid staking protocol on Solana that captures MEV to boost staking yields while reducing congestion.

Imagine waiting in a supermarket checkout line when someone cuts in to grab all discounted items—this is MEV attack in blockchain. Jito acts like a smart queuing system:

• Anti-Cutting: Isolate sensitive trades via private channels to block bots
• Redistribution: Share “fines” from frontrunners with honest users
• Staking+: Stake SOL for JitoSOL tokens, earning staking interest + MEV rewards

This design makes Jito a “rule disruptor” in Solana—protecting users while letting participants share chain value.

Jito’s Three Core Weapons

1. Anti-Frontrunning Tech: Private Transaction Pool

• Traditional Pain: Public mempools expose bids to bots
• Jito Fix: Encrypted channels requiring validators to bid for transaction bundles
• User Gain: Trade failure rate drops from 60% to <5%, 30% slippage reduction

2. Supercharged Staking
