Jito Integration: Beyond the Basics

Mastering the Jito Auction

Simple Jito bundle submission is standard practice. A true edge requires a deep understanding of the Block Engine's auction mechanics. Our approach is twofold: pre-finalization data ingestion and tactical execution.

1. Shredstream as the Primary Signal: Geyser provides post-facto block data. To front-run, access to pre-finalization state is non-negotiable. The Shredstream is the only feed that provides visibility into transactions as they are being processed by the leader. Our entire Watcher architecture is built around this stream, giving us the critical time window to construct a competitive response bundle in the same slot.

2. Auction-Optimized Execution: We don't just submit bundles; we engineer them to win. Our Execution Engine dynamically calculates the tip-per-CU efficiency for every trade. Each transaction is pre-simulated on our Firedancer node to get a precise CU estimate, allowing us to bid the most competitive Jito Tip without overspending. This, combined with multi-region submission, is the core of our execution strategy.
