The other thing Jito could do, and I think this would be the most impactful value driver, would be to give validators a larger share of the MEV fees if they hold a certain amount of JTO. You still want the MEV to flow into the DAO and pass it back as a rebate to Solana validators who hold x% of JTO. This is different than restaking via the TipRouter. Notably, this isn’t value extractive to validators, its the opposite. You give them the option to collect a larger share of the MEV. It would create buy demand for JTO from validators since JTO value as a capital asset would be even more closely tied to MEV on the network. Currently SOL gets all this value since staked SOL is the only asset that validators need to hold to get MEV. This could be a nice balance that’s good for the whole community and JTO’s value accrual/demand flows.
