Jito StakeNet Twitter Space Summary

What is Stakenet?Stakenet is a self-sustaining protocol designed for Solana LSTs, comprising on-chain programs including the steward program, on-chain history program, and keeper bots. Operating on the Solana mainnet, Stakenet aims to assume complete management of Jito Sol. The steward program acts as the stakepool manager, determining the scoring of validators and facilitating dynamic stake management, including the movement of deposits and the handling of undelegating from underperforming validators each new epoch. The validator history program serves as an oracle or database, capable of storing three years of mainnet validators’ data, encompassing historical performance, commission rates, IPs, and client types. Executing instructions permissionlessly, the keeper bots, open to anyone, perform essential operations every epoch to sustain the system, requiring only a small amount of SOL for maintenance.
