For this week’s Tuesday episode, we’re sharing the second Solana Sessions episode with Lucas Bruder, CEO and co-founder of Jito Labs.

Jito Labs is building high-performance MEV infrastructure on Solana. To date, it has generated $1.1B for validators and stakers on Solana, with over 90% of the network’s validators running via its software. In 2024, the company made $650M for the network through fees and revenue. 

We discuss his founder journey, why Jito decided to build on Solana, DeFi onchain and what users and institutions want.
