In this episode of Bell Curve, Lucas Bruder from Jito discusses the newly unveiled Jito restaking platform on Solana. The conversation begins with the history of Jito, starting with MEV, then liquid staking, and finally restaking, driven by the need to decentralize stake pools. Lucas explains the design iterations of the restaking platform, highlighting the shift from an isolated to a pooled security model and the integration of Liquid Restaking Tokens (LRTs). The discussion covers potential use cases for restaking on Solana, including oracles, keepers, and SVM L2s, as well as the differences in restaking dynamics between Solana and Ethereum. The conversation touches on slashing mechanisms, the potential for restaking marketplaces, and the synergies between Jito's different lines of business. The episode concludes with a discussion on the future of restaking and its potential impact on the Solana ecosystem.
