Don't bid for priority. Execute with speed.
Jito is a tollbooth where the toll price changes every millisecond.
Jito's Block Engine forces transactions through an off-chain bundle auction. While marketed as "low latency," the auction itself introduces non-deterministic costs and delays.
The cost to land a trade is non-deterministic. In high volatility, the tip required to win the auction skyrockets. A trade profitable at 0.001 SOL tip becomes a loss at 0.1 SOL tip. You don't know the clearing price until it's too late.
If a bundle doesn't win, it is dropped entirely. No "best effort" fallback. User reports from 2024-2025 highlight failure rates ranging 41-75% during congestion. This is a catastrophic "Reliability Tax."
The Block Engine is a centralized server cluster. If congested (as seen in April 2024/2025), the "fast lane" becomes a parking lot. You paid for priority but got delay.
ZeroCopy signs in 62µs. We hit the wire before the Jito auction window closes. You don't need to outbid; you out-execute.
With ZeroCopy, the cost is fixed. No auction variance. You can model P&L with certainty.
We support native Jito bundle serialization. Use Jito for revert protection if needed, but sign at hardware speed. Best of both worlds.
Assume you submit 10,000 bundles per day. With Jito's reported ~20% success rate during normal operation (41-75% drop during congestion), you're effectively paying for priority but only getting execution 20-25% of the time.
Jito is a valuable tool for revert protection and MEV capture.
But speed, not bidding, is the ultimate protection.
Our enclave signs transactions continuously. Every proof is cryptographically attested and publicly verifiable in real time.
