The team behind Solana’s core infrastructure debuts its first product for traders: a self-custodial trading platform with CEX-grade execution and the professional order types serious traders currently go off-chain to access.
MIAMI, May 7, 2026 – Jito Labs today announced JTX, a self-custodial trading platform from the team behind the Jito Block Engine and JitoSOL. Built for the next generation of market activity coming to Solana, JTX brings CEX-grade execution and professional order types on-chain. CEO Lucas Bruder unveiled the product on stage at Solana Accelerate in Miami.
JTX is the first product Jito has built directly for traders. It brings professional-grade order types, persistent charting, high quality assets, and execution quality that beats centralized exchanges, with assets remaining in the user’s custody throughout. JTX is the first product on Solana that gives serious traders the execution and order types they’ve been forced to leave the chain to find.
JTX launches with the following:
- Spot trading across Solana assets, including RWAs, with verified token listings
- Professional order types, including resting limits, brackets, OCO, and stop orders
- Persistent charting powered by TradingView
- Orderbook depth view
- Full self-custody throughout
Perps and prediction markets follow, expanding JTX’s reach across the markets serious traders care about.
“Solana’s infrastructure is the best in the world, processing more daily transactions than every other blockchain combined. We’ve spent four years shipping core infrastructure on this chain. The work shaped how Solana scaled and how we think about product. We know where the execution edge is. JTX is what happens when we point that at traders who’ve outgrown what’s currently being built for them. It beats a CEX on execution. It doesn’t take your keys. That’s the pitch.,” said Lucas Bruder, Co-Founder and CEO of Jito Labs.
Solana DEX volume crossed $1 trillion last year, with much of the volume from serious traders still flowing through centralized exchanges and competing L1s. Hyperliquid has produced $600M+ in annualized fees on an L1 without Solana’s infrastructure advantages, demonstrating the demand for a professional on-chain trading experience. JTX is built to be the front door for trading on Solana as the chain absorbs more of global finance.
JTX will also add to the Jito Protocol’s expansive suite of Solana products. The Jito Block Engine, used by validators across the network, underpins a large percentage of the chain’s daily transaction fees. JitoSOL is the largest liquid staking token on Solana. And the JTO governance and fee-sharing token gives holders a claim on protocol fee revenue, a model Jito is extending to JTX.
JTX expands the Jito protocol’s revenue model to trading. 80 percent of JTX protocol revenue flows to the protocol, with the remaining 20 percent reinvested in the product. The model extends the architecture already in place for JitoSOL and the broader Jito network, where fees generated across the protocol accrue to JTO holders.
The JTX waitlist is open today. Early access will follow. The waitlist and further information are available at jtx.com.
