#liquid staking Tools

Jito is Solana’s main MEV / block-ordering stack plus the largest liquid staking pool on the chain. Stake SOL, get JitoSOL, earn base staking rewards plus a cut of tips and priority fees from validators running Jito software. Separate product layers: Block Engine / BAM for auctions and block building, TipRouter for on-chain tip distribution, Jito Restaking (NCNs) for optional extra yield and extra risk. JTO is governance, not the yield token. Solana-native infrastructure play more than a generic “DeFi farm.”

Lido is Ethereum’s biggest liquid staking protocol. You deposit ETH, get stETH (or wrap to wstETH), and keep earning staking rewards without running a 32 ETH validator. stETH stays usable in DeFi: lend it, LP it, restake elsewhere. Fee is about 10% of rewards, not of your principal. Net APR floats with network conditions (often roughly low-to-mid 2% range in quieter 2026 stretches). Convenience king. Decentralization critics hate how large its share of staked ETH got.
