Jito Governance Token FAQs

What is JTO used for?

JTO is described as Jito Network’s governance token. Holders can vote on network decisions, including protocol parameters and the DAO treasury.

Is JTO the same as JitoSOL?

No. JTO is the governance token; JitoSOL is a separate liquid-staking token associated with staking SOL. Don’t treat JTO as a receipt for staked SOL.

Does holding JTO earn staking rewards?

JTO’s stated role is governance, which does not by itself mean it earns staking rewards. Check Jito’s current official terms before expecting yield or connecting a wallet to vote.
