Jito MEV rewards

Pier Two runs the jito-solana software on our Validator, this automatically provides access to additional staking rewards.

Each epoch, MEV rewards in the form of SOL will be automatically transferred directly to your Solana Stake Account. Unlike native protocol-level staking, these rewards are not automatically added your staked balance (they are not auto-compounding).

In order to make the most of your MEV rewards, you must regularly withdraw these rewards and re-stake them. This involves creating a new Stake Account and funding it with your withdrawn MEV rewards. A downside to this flow is that it results in an ever-growing number of Solana Stake Accounts.

Pier Two provides functionality to limit the growth of the amount of Solana Stake Accounts while maximising your staking rewards. By using our UI and/or API, you can easily harvest MEV rewards, re-stake your SOL tokens and merge multiple Stake Accounts into a single larger account.

The Pier Two API provides an endpoint for generating the transaction(s) required to complete this restaking flow.
