❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What's the advantage of Jito over native staking?
Jito offers a higher APY by sharing MEV revenue with stakers. Additionally, JitoSOL is a liquid token, meaning you can use it across Solana DeFi (e.g., lending, liquidity pools) while it continues to earn rewards.
How do I unstake my SOL?
You have two options: 1) Use the "Unstake" function on the Jito website (takes 2-4 days). 2) Instantly swap your JitoSOL for SOL on a decentralized exchange (DEX) like Jupiter or Orca.
Is it safe?
The Jito protocol has been audited and is widely used. The key to safety is to only use the official website (jtosol.network) and never share your wallet's seed phrase with anyone.
