JitoSOL
Overview
Users can deposit their SOL holdings into Jito stake pool, which lets them earn staking rewards with additional returns for MEV redistribution.
What is JitoSOL
JitoSOL is the first MEV-powered liquid staking derivative on Solana. By exchanging your SOL for JitoSOL you maintain SOL's liquidity and earn yield from staking. That yield receives an additional boost thanks to MEV rewards redistribution.
What is MEV
MEV (Maximum extractable value) - describes profits that accrue to entities producing blocks on a blockchain based on their ability to include, exclude and change the order of transactions in a block.

Your SOL will start the activating period upon the transaction execution and will appear in the vault as JitoSOL. Once the new epoch starts, you will start earning rewards.
