Jito Restaking

Jito Restaking receives a C+ risk grade (37/100) from Hindenrank, where lower scores indicate lower risk. Moderate risk — well-funded and audited restaking infrastructure from a leading Solana team, but shared security model and VRT liquidity risks warrant caution as the ecosystem matures. Jito Restaking extends the Jito ecosystem on Solana by allowing users to restake SPL tokens to secure Node Consensus Networks (NCNs) — decentralized networks that leverage economic security from staked assets. Restakers receive Vault Receipt Tokens (VRTs) maintaining liquidity while earning NCN rewards. At ~$16M TVL, it is the leading restaking platform on Solana, backed by $64M in funding and audited by Certora, Offside Labs, and Ottersec.

The key risks identified for Jito Restaking are: (1) Restaking means the same collateral secures multiple networks simultaneously — if one network fails and slashes collateral, it reduces security for all others (2) VRT tokens representing restaked assets may not always trade at full value, especially during market stress when many users try to exit at once (3) Restaking on Solana is still a new concept with limited real-world stress testing compared to similar systems on Ethereum
