Solana’s vision to become the Onchain NASDAQ is strengthened as it acquires essential blockchain infrastructure image 0

Jito has introduced its Block Assembly Marketplace (BAM) on the

mainnet, representing a major evolution from its closed block engine to an open-source system aimed at boosting transparency, privacy, and customizable block building for applications Jito launches BAM on Solana mainnet amid rising competition [ 1 ]. Announced on September 25, the launch brings a modular design featuring BAM Nodes, BAM Validators, and Plugins. BAM Nodes utilize Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) to process transactions securely within encrypted spaces, producing cryptographic proofs for validation. BAM Validators handle these pre-ordered transactions, while Plugins let developers create custom transaction sequencing logic, enabling application-controlled execution (ACE) for use cases such as central limit order books and derivatives trading Introducing BAM: The Future of Block Building on Solana [ 2 ].

The move to BAM is set to greatly broaden Solana’s developer community. Cindy Leow, Drift’s co-founder, commented that BAM could help Solana achieve its goal of becoming an “onchain NASDAQ” by supporting financial tools that need sequencing control and privacy guarantees Jito launches BAM on Solana mainnet amid rising competition [ 1 ]. JitoDAO, the protocol’s governance body, will benefit directly, as $JTO holders have recently voted to allocate

Labs’ portion of BAM and engine fees to the DAO. Lucas Bruder, Jito’s co-founder, projects that BAM could add $15 million in yearly revenue, supplementing the $4.7 million earned in Q3 2025 Jito launches BAM on Solana mainnet amid rising competition [ 1 ].

BAM’s design tackles persistent issues in Solana’s MEV system, such as lack of transparency in transaction ordering and risks of front-running. By keeping transactions confidential until they are executed and supplying cryptographic proofs, BAM limits harmful MEV extraction and enables programmable blockspace. For example, Plugins allow oracle services like

to update price data instantly, improving user execution and reducing inefficiencies in DeFi protocols Introducing BAM: The Future of Block Building on Solana [ 2 ]. Likewise, market makers can prioritize order cancellations and placements, boosting liquidity and execution dependability Introducing BAM: The Future of Block Building on Solana [ 2 ].

The BAM launch comes as competition in Solana’s infrastructure intensifies. Competitor Raiku recently secured $15 million in early funding rounds led by Pantera Capital, while Anza is enhancing its Agave validator client for better speed and stability Jito launches BAM on Solana mainnet amid rising competition [ 1 ]. Despite this, Jito remains the leading infrastructure provider on Solana, with more than 97% of the network using its validator client and jitoSOL holding the top market share. Early BAM Validators include Triton One,

, Figment, and Helius, aiming to secure a significant portion of network stake soon after launch Introducing BAM: The Future of Block Building on Solana [ 2 ].

Market sentiment towards BAM has been positive. Solana (SOL) climbed above $200 for the first time since March 2025, fueled by investor confidence in BAM’s ability to improve transaction throughput and generate revenue from blockspace Solana Breaks $200 as Jito’s BAM Draws Bullish Bets [ 7 ]. Institutional interest in Solana is also on the rise, with weekly inflows into

investment products hitting $39 million and corporate wallets amassing over $531 million in SOL during July 2025 Solana Breaks $200 as Jito’s BAM Draws Bullish Bets [ 7 ]. Analysts point to BAM’s ability to attract institutional funds by offering verifiable execution and auditability, positioning Solana as a strong competitor to Ethereum Jito (JTO) 'BAM': Could It Become a Game-Changer in the Solana Ecosystem? [ 5 ].

Jito’s BAM roadmap features staged rollouts to ensure both security and decentralization. The initial “Launch” stage has Jito Labs running BAM Nodes while validators like Triton One and Helius join the network. The “Scale” stage targets expanding BAM Node operators and validators to over 30% of network stake, with the first Plugins starting to generate fees. The “Accelerate” phase will open-source BAM’s codebase, encouraging community-led development and increasing node operators to more than 50 globally distributed participants Introducing BAM: The Future of Block Building on Solana [ 2 ].

The Ecosystem Advisory Committee, which includes the Solana Foundation, will oversee BAM’s growth to ensure it aligns with decentralization objectives. Jito Labs intends to phase out its governance role, handing over control to the DAO as BAM evolves into a permissionless platform. This transition highlights the protocol’s dedication to community governance while relying on Jito’s technical strengths for ongoing reliability Introducing BAM: The Future of Block Building on Solana [ 2 ].
