**Solana's Jito Staking Pool Sees Revenue Surge**

Jito, a leading staking pool on the Solana network, reported impressive monthly revenues from priority fees and tips, surpassing $100 million in November and December, as per Kairos Research. In 2024, Jito’s validators boosted tip revenues by an average of 32% monthly, peaking at $210 million in November.

The rise in tip revenues highlights Solana's growing popularity and validators' increased earnings from prioritizing transactions, known as Maximum Extractable Value (MEV). Notably, Solana's validators outpaced Ethereum's in MEV earnings for the first time in 2024, with transaction fees nearly tripling throughout the year.

Jito's influence extends to decentralized finance (DeFi) with its liquid restaking token, JitoSOL, becoming a favorite, locking nearly $2.75 billion in value. JitoSOL restakers enjoy yields of around 8.6%, with a small portion of tip revenue now directed to them.
