A governance token is being introduced by the Jito Foundation. Its purpose is to monitor and encourage the development of the Solana-based liquid staking protocol.
The firm declared its intentions to produce one billion JTO tokens in a statement that was issued on Monday. The purpose of this announcement was to make the governance of its Jito Network easier. The duties that fall under this category include the establishment of fees for the JitoSOL staking pool, the management of income, and the administration of the DAO treasury.
115 million JTO tokens will be in circulation at the beginning of the project. The allocation plan allocates 34% of the tokens for the expansion of the community, 25% for the development of the ecosystem, 24.5% for the contributors who are considered to be core contributors, and 16% for investors.
Through the introduction of JTO tokens, the Jito Foundation intends to enable "community members to have a direct impact on the decision-making and direction of the Jito Network," as stated by the organization.
As a component of the Jito Foundation, Jito Labs is responsible for the construction of infrastructure with the objective of mitigating the negative consequences that the maximum extractable value has on Solana.
The Jito Foundation disclosed in its release that the Jito MEV network of validators is now being employed by more than forty percent of the Solana network's stake weight. This information was disclosed by the Solana Foundation, which stated that about a third of its stake is flowing via the Jito Labs client.
In addition, the Jito Foundation has announced that 10% of the tokens will be handed to members of the Jito community through an airdrop. This is done in recognition of the efforts that Jito community members have made to the bootstrapping of the network and to ensure that they are involved in governance from the very beginning.
Two independent Directors, Matt Shaw and Glenn Kennedy, as well as a supervisor who is provided by FFP Corporate Services, are responsible for conducting the Foundation's operations. The administration of the DAO will be handled by Webslinger, a consulting organization that specializes in developing notable cryptocurrency initiatives.
Token holders will have the power to remove both the supervisor and the two independent directors from their positions, giving them the ultimate control over the Foundation. Jito mentioned that its Foundation will be releasing monthly transparency reports in order to effectively communicate with stakeholders.
The Jito Foundation shall be regulated by its Constitution, Bylaws, Articles of Association, and Memorandum of Association. The firm has committed to providing further information whenever it is feasible to do so.
Some of the investors at Jito Labs include Solana Ventures and Anatoly Yakovenko, who was also a co-founder of Solana Labs. Multiple investors, including Alameda Research, Solana Ventures, Delphi Digital, and Robot Ventures, contributed to the business's Series A investment round, which resulted in the company raising a total of ten million dollars. Framework Ventures and Multicoin Capital were the primary investors in this round.A JTO Token Has Been Introduced By The Jito Foundation In Order To Manage The Solana-based Liquid Staking Protocol
