Jito helps arrange transactions into clusters, incentivizing validators to prioritize certain bundles over others. This increase in MEV is not definitively beneficial, as it could introduce predatory practices. However, it could also reduce spam, which has been a problem for Solana, with over 60% of non-vote transactions failing due to bots exploiting the network's low fees.Read in-depth analysis on this topic at: https://theweb3.news/crypto/solana-validators-are-outperforming-ethereum-in-this-surprising-revenue-race/2024-05-0803 minDaily Crypto ReportDaily Crypto Report"Ethereum's network reaches 1M validators" Mar 28, 2024Bitcoin is down .5% at $70,542Eth is down .5% at $3,575Binance Coin, down .5% at $583Those are your leaders by market cap.
