OPTIMIZE VALIDATORS

“Jito is the largest liquid staking protocol in Solana and we're kind of view ourselves as the economic growth engine for Solana. So we have a liquid staking protocol, and then we also build a validator client, which basically tries to optimize the transaction ordering on the network.”

“I think everyone was really focused on L2s and scaling through that method and some other methods, and Solana was just like, we think we can synchronize this entire state machine on one network versus many different networks. I started looking at the code and everything and just I was like, oh, this is a very cool network.”

“I think they've already increased capacity by 50% this year, and then they want to double it, and then I think it's just going to continue doubling probably twice a year. So it's just going to keep getting better and better and better and cheaper and faster.”

“How many hoops do you have to hop through to do that? Send them your driver's license and all this information, and there's a whole KYC process, and they limit you on how much you can purchase per day until you pass these different verifications levels and all this other stuff. It's like, what are we doing here?”

“Over the past six to nine months on Solana, the markets and the activity have just gotten so good. There's a lot of smart engineers working on exchanges and things like that. They're just so good that it's actually much cheaper to buy Solana on Solana.”
