JTX is Jito Labs' consumer trading product — a high-performance trading terminal built on Solana. We're a lean, high-output team building something that sits at the intersection of execution quality, user experience, and on-chain infrastructure. We own a meaningful portion of Solana's block production, and JTX is how we bring that edge directly to traders.
