App revenue, encompassing staking fees, MEV rewards, and transaction tips, is a cornerstone for projects like Toby and Jito on Solana. This article explores how app revenue shapes Toby’s unique proposition and compares it to Jito’s earnings, highlighting Toby’s potential to redefine the MEV landscape.
Why App Revenue Matters
App revenue is the lifeblood of Toby’s ambitious ecosystem, where interconnected components maximize value and efficiency:
Operational Backbone: Revenue sustains Toby, powering critical elements like the Block Chef, which processes transactions, and Relayers, which relay them, ensuring scalability for high transaction volumes.
Innovation Driver: Funds enable continuous improvement of the Validator Optimizer, prioritizing top-performing validators, and enhancing the public filtered-mempool, allowing Toby to capture up to 70% of potential MEV minus sandwiches.
Reward Ecosystem: Stakers, who stake SOL to receive tSOL, benefit from yield and MEV rewards, while Searchers identifying transactions and Relayers passing them along earn tips—all funded through app revenue, driving participation.
Validator Efficiency: Revenue supports a performance-based validator management system, ensuring Toby selects the most effective validators, boosting reliability and security.
For Toby, revenue isn’t just profit, it’s the mechanism tying staking, transaction processing, and reward distribution into a cohesive, high-performing network.
Jito’s Revenue Benchmark
Jito, a key Solana player, provides a revenue comparison benchmark. It earns approximately $500 million annually through fees and tips. Jito’s validators generate $1.2 billion yearly from MEV, based on monthly earnings exceeding $100 million from priority fees and tips. Jito collects a 5% fee on these rewards, netting $60 million, plus $446 million in direct tips (e.g., 67,514 SOL weekly, valued at $8.58 million at $127 per SOL). This reflects Jito’s 20% MEV capture, constrained by its lack of an atomic mempool. Toby’s Revenue Edge
Toby’s projected $1.75 billion revenue leverages its advanced infrastructure and ecosystem design, far surpassing Jito:
Staking and Delegation: Users stake SOL, receiving tSOL, and delegate it to Toby, which distributes yield back to stakers, creating a strong incentive loop.
Transaction Flow: Searchers identify valuable transactions, Relayers pass them to the Block Chef for processing, ensuring secure, efficient handling within the filtered-mempool framework.
Reward Cycle: The Validator Optimizer and Block Chef distribute $4.2 billion in MEV (70% of a $6 billion total, derived from Jito’s 20% equating to $1.2 billion), with Toby earning $210 million from a 5% fee and $1,540 million in tips, scaled proportionally.
This integrated workflow : staking, optimized validation, and transparent reward distribution, positions Toby to capture significantly more MEV than Jito, translating into higher revenue potential.
Comparative Analysis
The table below contrasts Jito’s current earnings with Toby’s projected figures, underscoring the latter’s advantage:
Metric

$1.75 billion
Toby’s ability to capture 70% of potential MEV minus sandwiches, driven by its public filtered-mempool and ecosystem components, gives it a clear edge. The Validator Optimizer’s focus on performance and the Block Chef’s transaction processing amplify this advantage, making Toby’s revenue model robust and scalable.
Conclusion
App revenue is the linchpin of Toby’s vision, enabling its ecosystem, stakers, exchanging SOL for tSOL, Searchers, Relayers, the Block Chef, and the Validator Optimizer to thrive, with a projected $1.75 billion annually compared to Jito’s $500 million. This financial strength highlights Toby’s potential to transform Solana’s MEV landscape, delivering greater efficiency, rewards, and value distribution.
