Jito Labs operates the "Jito2" Solana mainnet validator (vote account J1to2NAwajc8hD6E6kujdQiPn1Bbt2mGKKZLY9kSQKdB) carrying 303,469 SOL of active delegated stake — approximately 0.020% of network stake at epoch 971, per Stakewiz. The validator runs the Jito client at 4% base commission and 8% Jito MEV commission, hosted on TeraSwitch (AS20326) in Singapore.

Identity

Jito Labs is the team behind the Jito client (the MEV-aware Agave fork that runs on roughly 85-90% of staked SOL as of May 2026) and the Jito Block Engine (the off-chain MEV auction service Jito Labs operates). The "Jito2" validator is Jito Labs' second validator on mainnet, distinct from the Jito Foundation's Jito Stake Pool (the on-chain stake distribution program that distributes the jitoSOL LST). The three Jito components — client, Block Engine, Stake Pool — are separate; this validator is the operator-of-record for one specific vote account run by Jito Labs and is not a stake pool.

The Stakewiz self-description at epoch 971 is: "Jito Labs builds high performance infrastructure for the Solana Blockchain. Stake to our validator to earn your share of MEV!" The Keybase identifier is lucas_jito. The on-chain identity account is A4hyMd3FyvUJSRafDUSwtLLaQcxRP4r1BRC9w2AJ1to2.

Performance metrics

  • Skip rate: 0.00% trailing 30-epoch (per Stakewiz wiz_skip_rate, epoch 971), against a network median of 0.14%.
  • Vote success: 99.55% (Stakewiz, epoch 971); credit ratio 99.7% under Timely Vote Credits.
  • Uptime: 100% per Stakewiz's uptime probe at epoch 971; the validator is not delinquent.
  • Software version: 4.0.0-rc.1 — version_valid: true at epoch 971.

Economics

  • Base commission: 4% at epoch 971 (per Stakewiz commission) — within the 5% SFDP base-commission ceiling, and in the bracket where commission contributes a moderate component score (12/20 at epoch 971).
  • Jito MEV commission: 8% (jito_commission_bps: 800, epoch 971) — below the 10% SFDP Jito MEV commission ceiling.
  • Total APY estimate: 5.76% at epoch 971 (5.64% staking APY + 0.12% Jito MEV component, per Stakewiz total_apy). The combination of 4% base commission and 8% Jito MEV commission produces a lower realized APY than a 0%/0% operator on identical performance.
  • Stake-weight bucket: below above_halt_line at epoch 971.

Infrastructure

  • Data center / host: TeraSwitch.
  • ASN: AS20326 (TeraSwitch).
  • City: Singapore (1.36°N, 103.87°E).
  • TPU IP: 202.8.11.168.
  • Client: Jito client (is_jito: true); software 4.0.0-rc.1.

Decentralization signals

  • ASN concentration: -9.98. AS20326 (TeraSwitch) carries 32.5% of network stake per Stakewiz asn_concentration at epoch 971 — the highest single-ASN concentration figure observed in this wiki's directory. This exceeds the 25% concentration threshold that enters force for SFDP infrastructure compliance on May 1, 2026; Jito Labs' Jito2 validator is materially affected by that rule as long as it remains on TeraSwitch. The same AS20326 hosts Helius (Frankfurt) and several other large operators — the joint TeraSwitch concentration across cities is the dominant network-level ASN risk surfaced in this directory.
  • City concentration: 4.00% (Singapore); -1.58 component score.
  • ASN+city joint concentration: 0.95% (TeraSwitch-in-Singapore specifically) — the joint metric is lower because TeraSwitch's stake is split across multiple cities.
  • Wiz Score: 77.67 at epoch 971 (per Stakewiz). The composite is driven down primarily by the ASN concentration penalty (-9.98) and a moderate base-commission deduction; positive components (skip rate, vote success, uptime, version) sit at or near maximum.

MEV policy

Jito Labs runs its own Jito client (is_jito: true) and routes through the Jito Block Engine — the same MEV auction infrastructure the operator builds. Jito MEV commission on this validator is 8%; stakers receive 92% of the MEV-tip flow that reaches the validator. The Stakewiz Jito APY contribution at epoch 971 is 0.12%. As a reminder of the Jito disambiguation: this profile is about Jito Labs the validator operator, not the Jito client (software), the Jito Block Engine (service), or the Jito Stake Pool (jitoSOL LST program) — those are three separate Jito components, all operated by Jito Foundation entities, none of which equal "delegating to the Jito2 validator."

Delegation programs

The validator's first epoch with stake is 325 (per Stakewiz first_epoch_with_stake); operation spans approximately 646 epochs as of epoch 971. With 303,469 SOL of external stake, the validator sits in the range where SFDP residual delegation and 1:1 matching (capped at 100,000 SOL match) would apply per current Foundation criteria if enrolled — SFDP enrollment status is not surfaced in the Stakewiz cache fields used here and should be verified against solana.org/delegation-dashboard for current status.

Stake history

  • Active stake: 303,469 SOL (0.020% of network, per Stakewiz, epoch 971).
  • Rank in Stakewiz directory: 399 at epoch 971.
  • First epoch with stake: 325 — approximately 646 epochs of stake-bearing operation (roughly 3.5 years at the current ~2-day epoch cadence).
