Jito Labs launches JTX on Solana for self-custodial onchain trading
JTX has moved from a limited beta to public availability, adding on-chain limit and conditional orders, broader Solana asset coverage, and a fee model that channels most revenue to JTO buybacks and burns.
Jito Labs' JTX, a self-custodial onchain trading platform on Solana, opened to all users on July 21 after a first-1,000-user beta launched a week earlier. The public release adds resting limit orders, automated execution and conditional orders, and expands coverage across major Solana asset classes including SOL, cbBTC, memecoins, tokenized equities and ETFs. JTX is built on Jito's Block Engine, BAM block-building system and liquid staking product, and includes a Good Trade feature that benchmarks orders against Coinbase and Kraken prices in real time before trades are confirmed. Lucas Bruder said the platform puts Jito's execution infrastructure directly in the hands of traders without custody compromises, while Kevin Beardsley said it is designed to deliver execution quality comparable to centralized exchanges. The launch also extends Jito's push into on-chain real-world asset trading. Tokenized equity spot volume on Solana reached $5.77 billion in the second quarter of 2026, while real-world asset value on the network stood at about $3.3 billion by July. Under JIP-38, 80% of JTX trading fee revenue goes to the Jito DAO for JTO buybacks and permanent burns, with the remaining 20% allocated to referral partners based on generated volume. Jito plans to add perpetual futures, prediction markets and a native mobile app in later releases.
