Gm! In today’s episode, we’re joined by Eric and Hayden from Jito to discuss Solana Accelerate, the launch of Jito’s Maker Prioritization Plugin, and broader efforts to improve Solana’s market structure through more deterministic transaction scheduling. We also cover validator incentives, BAM architecture, plugin experimentation, perp and prediction markets, tokenized assets, and why user experience and distribution will be critical for driving on-chain trading adoption.
Enjoy!
