Jito has launched JIP-25 on the Realms governance platform, which is a proposal to expand the number of validators in the Jito Stake Pool and revise the eligibility and ranking criteria. The change aims to reduce over-optimization on vote credits and rebalance incentives among validators. The community is now invited to vote (or participate) to determine whether these adjustments should be adopted.Event DetailsHosting entity: Jito / Jito GovernanceEvent: Vote / Governance proposal activation for JIP-25: Expand Validator Set & Modify RankingLaunch time: The vote is now LIVE (announcement: “JIP-25 is LIVE on Realms”) per the Jito X account. X (formerly Twitter)Format: on-chain governance vote via Realms (Jito’s governance system)Participation: Holders of governance power (JTO token or equivalent) can cast votes on JIP-25 via the Realms interface (linked through Jito’s governance mechanisms)Recent NewsThe proposal JIP-25 was published in the Jito Governance Forum, outlining expansion of the validator set from 200 to 400 and deprioritization of vote credits in ranking. ChainCatcher+3Jito Foundation+3Jito Foundation+3Coverage from ChainCatcher notes JIP-25’s aim to remove over-optimization of voting points and use a new ranking formula based on commission, MEV commission, validator age, and reverse vote credits. ChainCatcherConcurrently, JIP-XX (a related draft proposal) has been discussed to allow directed staking, letting large JitoSOL holders or DeFi protocols specify validator preferences under eligibility rules. Jito Foundation+2ChainCatcher+2Some community feedback highlights concerns that heavily favoring validator age may entrench incumbents and limit new entrants. Jito Foundation+2Jito Foundation+2Future PlansIf approved, JIP-25’s changes would be implemented via parameter updates to StakeNet: expanding the active validator set to 400, revising ranking formulas, and pausing the currently proposed priority fee sharing. The community may later consider JIP-XX for directed staking, enabling more nuanced stakeholder preference control over allocations.

For example:“I am in favor of this proposal … the benefits outweigh the drawbacks, the main drawback being its advantage for older validators.” Jito Foundation “New validators should also have chance … sounds like new validator will never have a chance, unless old validator completely quit.” Jito FoundationRisk Disclaimer: As a governance vote, JIP-25 itself does not guarantee market reaction, but if passed and implemented, it may materially affect staking yields, validator behavior, and thus indirectly influence token economics.Sources used:https://x.com/jito_sol/status/1973774970133307599https://forum.jito.network/t/jip-25-expand-the-validator-set-and-modify-jito-stake-pool-eligibility-and-ranking-criteria/877https://www.chaincatcher.com/en/article/2199050https://www.jito.network/https://x.com/jito_solhttps://forum.jito.network/t/draft-jip-introduce-directed-staking-to-the-jito-stake-pool/876https://forum.jito.network/c/jito-improvement-proposal-jip/7
