According to a recent post shared by Colin Wu, a Chinese crypto journalist, the Jito tip revenue on Solana reached 9.32k SOL on March 6. The revenue amount valued at $1.2 million has reportedly marked a new high.

In his Wu Blockchain page on X, Wu illuminated Jito’s fake tip vulnerability, which led to the MEV Bot using fake tips.

According to Solana’s official page, Jito Labs is a leading MEV Infrastructure company that “builds high-performance MEV infrastructure for Solana. Our goals are to make Solana more efficient, minimize the negative impact of MEV on users, & maximize MEV returned to users and stakers.”

In a recent X post, Jitto Labs announced its decision to suspend the mempool offered by the Jito Block Engine due to “negative externalities impacting users on Solana.” The platform ensured the normal functioning of bundles and other block engine functionality despite the suspension of the mempool.

Further, Jito Labs reiterated its dedication to the Solana ecosystem’s long-term success, including its users, validators, stakers, and applications. They added,

We will continue to focus our time on the Jito Network, providing an additional revenue stream for validators and stakers in addition to making Solana the best execution environment for all users.
