The governance token of the Solana-based liquid staking protocol Jito crossed a trading volume of $1.1 billion within a day of going live.

Yesterday, the project released the Jito token , distributing it to community members and enabling decentralized governance.

Soon after its roll-out, the token began trading around the $2 mark and has since risen in value by nearly 45%. The token is currently changing hands at $2.9, translating to a fully diluted market capitalization of $2.9 billion, according to CoinGecko.

The total supply of Jito tokens is capped at 1 billion, with 115 million currently in circulation.

Of these, 80 million were earmarked for the community airdrop, benefiting early users, as well as separate allocations for validators and other protocol contributors.

Some 9,800 users who interacted with the protocol and staked SOL received 4,941 JTO, equivalent to nearly $14,000 at the time of reporting.

Jito allows users to deposit SOL, Solana’s native cryptocurrency, in exchange for the derivative JitoSOL, serving as a receipt token for participants in the staking process.

It has over 6.4 million SOL locked in, equivalent to about $460 million. Jito Labs, the core developer behind Jito, also operates major client software for the Solana blockchain.
