Jito’s Solana data feed puts a price on seeing trades early
Jito’s Block Assembly Marketplace (BAM) sells earlier visibility into Solana transactions after a slot leader commits to executing them in order. The preconfirmation stream arrives before shreds, but does not let subscribers reorder or front-run transactions in the committed batch; it is also not final because leaders may skip slots or land on forks. Early tests found a median 5–10 millisecond advantage over existing shred feeds, though coverage is partial and not guaranteed. Helius offers access on paid plans, charging per subscription according to delivered messages. BAM revenue is split among validators (35%), the Jito DAO (35%) and distributors (30%). Validators can opt out, but current controls require contacting Jito. The service monetizes earlier information while retaining sequencing safeguards.
