Jito is a liquid staking protocol on Solana that distributes MEV rewards to stakers, while StaFi is a multi-chain liquid staking platform that unlocks liquidity for staked assets across various networks. Their core difference: Jito focuses on maximizing staking yield through MEV on Solana, whereas StaFi emphasizes cross-chain liquidity for staked tokens. Jito suits Solana users seeking extra MEV returns; StaFi fits those wanting to stake assets on multiple chains while retaining liquidity.
