Staking participation is the metric I’m going to watch next, not tonight’s price candle. Jito $JTO Labs co-founder buffalu said that in recent months, multiple ecosystem participants and applications have reported more on-chain front-running and new sandwich attacks, and the timing lines up with more client teams and validators adopting order flow auctions (OFA).

His estimate is that $SOL about 30% to 40% of staked amount has entered some form of OFA. OFA is essentially a private mempool: validators hand user transactions to third-party searchers for priority processing, and the revenue is then shared. Providers say there is KYC and anti-front-running protection, but whether it actually works depends on trust; violations are usually only discovered afterward, and losses cannot be recovered.

Another provider failed to manage the searchers under its umbrella, and multiple applications were sandwich-attacked for weeks, with affected users receiving no compensation. Jito itself already shut down its public mempool in March 2024 because of sandwich attacks. $SOL The current price is 103.95 USDT, up 1.31% over 24 hours, with almost no price movement. What I’m watching as a slow variable is execution quality: when choosing staking delegates, beyond yield, we need to check whether the client is prioritizing user transactions to third parties.
