Jito · interactive mechanism simulation

Searchers bid tips on bundles → Jito's off-chain block engine runs a sealed auction each slot → the leader includes winning bundles → tips flow to validators and JitoSOL stakers. Toggle the mempool to see how sandwich attacks emerge — and why Jito killed it.

Illustrative simulation. Defaults mirror the researched Jito mechanism (sealed-bid bundle auction, tip routing to validators and JitoSOL stakers, ~92% client adoption), but bundle sizes and timing are randomized for visualization — not live onchain data. The mempool toggle recreates the March 2024 episode where Jito's own infrastructure enabled sandwich attacks, prompting the team to shut it down. Part of The Onchain Experiment Atlas.
