JitoSOL vs mSOL: Which Liquid Staking Token for LPing?
JitoSOL (Jito Foundation) and mSOL (Marinade) are the two dominant Solana liquid staking tokens. Both let LPs stack staking yield plus LP fees with low IL.
JitoSOL captures MEV rewards on top of staking — typically the higher base yield (~7.5-8% vs ~6.8-7.2% for mSOL). Deeper integration with newer DeFi venues.
mSOL is older and more battle-tested. Wider integration across legacy protocols, slightly cleaner unstake mechanics.
For LPing: JitoSOL-SOL pools tend to have more TVL and tighter spreads on Raydium/Orca/Meteora. mSOL-SOL works well on protocols that gate JitoSOL.

JitoSOL, by ~50-100 basis points, because it captures validator MEV. The gap fluctuates with overall MEV opportunity on Solana.
Which is safer to LP?
Both have multi-year track records. mSOL has the longer history; JitoSOL has the larger DAO treasury and a more diversified validator set today.
Can I LP both at once?
Yes — JitoSOL-mSOL pools exist but are thin. Most LPs choose one LST and pair it with native SOL for the deeper liquidity.
