Jito Is Burning 100% of Its Trading Platform's Revenue for JTO

The Jito DAO on Solana has approved JIP-38, a proposal that directs 100% of the DAO's revenue share from its new JTX trading platform — 80% of the platform's total fees — toward programmatic buybacks and burns of the JTO token. The commitment runs for at least one year from JTX's launch and extends through Q4 2027, when a full revenue-model reappraisal is planned.

How it works

The mechanism is called the Rev Splitter: it collects JTX fees and automatically buys JTO on the open market, then burns the tokens — permanently removing them from circulation. The process is initially managed by the Dev Council, with plans to shift toward greater automation; all burns are verifiable on-chain. The remaining 20% of JTX fees go toward development and reinvestment in the platform itself.

In its announcement, the Jito team framed the logic this way: "Value should live with the Network. This proposal formally establishes Jito as a token-centric network, committing 100% of the Jito DAO's revenue share from JTX to programmatic buyback and burns of $JTO for at least 1 year from JTX launch."

What this means in practice

JIP-38 effectively makes JTO the primary value-capture instrument in Jito's ecosystem: the more trading activity JTX sees, the more JTO gets bought back and burned, creating ongoing supply pressure — but only if JTX actually delivers strong trading volumes. The team says it will publish inflation and buyback data every epoch, making the mechanism transparent to token holders.
