What if opening a trading account was as easy as downloading an app? Lucas Bruder, CEO of Jito — a Solana-based liquid staking protocol — breaks down why he thinks all of finance is moving onchain, and what his small team is doing to make that happen. During the 2022-2023 bear market, Jito was getting pitched constantly to jump ship to other chains. Lucas explains why they turned everything down, doubled down on Solana, and chewed a lot of glass. We also cover how Jito acts like a Cloudflare for Solana, why cheap transactions create surprising problems, what convinced Lucas that the Solana engineers were in it for the right reasons, and his vision for a financial system anyone can access with just a phone.

Join Alex Tapscott as he decodes the world of crypto with special guest Thomas Uhm, Chief Commercial Officer at the Jito Foundation and Advisor to Jito Labs. Listen in as they discuss what Abu Dhabi Finance Week and Solana Breakpoint reveal about institutional crypto sentiment, why ADGM is emerging as a serious hub for digital asset regulation and capital formation (with major players spanning BlackRock, Circle, Tether and more), how Solana's market structure is evolving through Jito's block-building, priority-fee "tips," and the upcoming BAM framework for application-controlled execution, what MEV is and how networks can reduce harmful forms of it while still securing validators, why Solana's performance under large DDoS pressure reinforces the "internet capital markets" thesis, and what 2026 could bring—from JitoSOL liquid-staking ETFs (and an options-driven structured products wave) to Breakpoint landing in London.

In today's episode, David is joined by Co-Founder and CEO of Tensor, Ilja Moisejevs and CTO of Tensor, Richard Wu. The three cover: How the different properties and foundation of Solana impact the product decisions that Richard and Ilja have made at Tensor? What are the first things that someone would notice that's different about Tensor, versus the NFT marketplaces on Ethereum? How did the $JITO airdrop impact the Tensor ecosystem? What about the Tensorians, the native PFP NFT of Tensor…who rocks a tensorian, and why? And of course, we had to ask Richard and Ilja whether or not Tensor will be joining in on the Solana airdrop fun…you won't believe the answer. -----
Welcome to The Chopping Block – where crypto insiders Haseeb Qureshi, Tom Schmidt, and Tarun Chitra chop it up about the latest news. This week, they are joined by Lucas Bruder, co-founder and CEO of Jito Labs, an infrastructure provider that mitigates the impact of maximum extractable value (MEV) on Solana — specifically spam and wasted block space. He and the gang discuss how the Jito airdrop this month helped rejuvenate Solana; how Jito differs from Flashbots, its counterpart on Ethereum; Solana's potential scalability; and how Solana believers have been vindicated by the developments of the last few months. Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Overcast, Podcast Addict, Pocket Casts, Pandora, Castbox, Google Podcasts, TuneIn, Amazon Music, or on your favorite podcast platform. Show highlights: Why Jito is a crucial development in the Solana ecosystem and its potential impact on network performance What sets Jito apart from its counterpart on Ethereum, Flashbots, in terms of functionality and benefits Whether Solana's speed uniquely influences Jito's effectiveness compared to Flashbots Lucas' explanation of maximum extractable value (MEV) and how it operates within the Solana network, providing insight into its complexities and advantages Whether Solana's infrastructure could sustain block production if the AWS integration encounters disruptions How the Jito airdrop may have rejuvenated the Solana network, potentially marking an end to its "ice age" What recent surges in on-chain activity in Solana indicate about the network's health and user engagement Where MEV fees in Solana are directed and who benefits from this value accrual within the ecosystem Whether Solana dapps are evolving their architectures to mitigate MEV opportunities and enhance network security How Tarun envisions the design of Solana's fee market for optimal efficiency and fairness Whether Solana has the inherent capacity for infinite scalability and what potential bottlenecks might impede this growth Hosts Haseeb Qureshi, managing partner at Dragonfly Tom Schmidt, general partner at Dragonfly Tarun Chitra, managing partner at Robot Ventures Guest: Lucas Bruder, CEO of Jito Labs Links MEV: Previous coverage of Unchained on MEV: Unchained: Why Is Ethereum Trying to Maximize Value From Users?
