Jito is a liquid staking protocol on Solana that distributes MEV rewards to stakers, while Lido is a multi-chain liquid staking platform supporting Ethereum, Solana, and other networks. The key difference is Jito’s exclusive focus on Solana with MEV-enhanced yields, versus Lido’s broader chain coverage and larger ecosystem. Jito suits Solana users seeking additional MEV income; Lido suits users who want a single liquid staking token across multiple blockchains.
