Summary

Jito has launched FireBAM, a BAM client (blockchain transaction routing software) that is compatible with Frankendancer, with testnet support and limited validator onboarding now available. The project says the software is currently under audit, and it is targeting a full mainnet release in July. The rollout suggests a staged deployment approach, which is common in blockchain infrastructure to test performance and security before broader network use.

Terms & Concepts
  • BAM client: A blockchain transaction routing tool used to manage how transactions are handled before reaching validators.
  • Testnet: A testing network used to trial blockchain software without risking real assets or main network operations.
  • Mainnet: The live blockchain network where transactions and applications operate with real value.
