Hey everyone! Let me introduce you to a comparison I’ve been obsessed with lately 👇 Lido vs Jito 🎓: Two Liquid Staking Giants Defining Ethereum & Solana Been deep-diving into @LidoFinance on Ethereum and @jito_sol on Solana not just by numbers, but also the vibe, culture, and what each represents in their ecosystems. On the surface, they both do the same thing: liquid staking. You stake → you get a token (stETH or jitoSOL) → you earn rewards. But when you look closer, the energy and mechanics couldn’t be more different. > Lido : The Ethereum Institution > TVL: $32.98B > Annual Fees: $1.089B > Revenue: $108.86M > APY: ~2.7% > Market Cap: $795.8M It owns ETH staking every major DeFi protocol supports stETH. It’s the backbone of DeFi leverage, lending, and collateral. Yet, despite its dominance, it feels static. APY is modest, $LDO holders don’t earn revenue, and there are no incentives or emissions Lido is efficient, stable, and foundational, but the vibe is sleepy. > Jito : The Solana Power Engine > TVL: $2.63B > Annualized Fees: $191.48M > Revenue: $0 (all value goes back to stakers) > APY: ~6.9% > $JTO Liquidity: $8.63M Instead of big revenue capture, MEV rewards go directly to stakers. No farming, no gimmicks just more juice from the same stake. It’s fast, modern, and laser-focused on efficiency. And while $JTO like $LDO doesn’t yet share revenue with holders, the potential is massive. If Solana continues to attract users, apps, and developers at its current pace. Jito could very well become the default staking layer just like Lido did for Ethereum in 2021–2022. cc : @CryptoCurb @FabianoSolana
