When it comes to the Restaking mechanism, many people think of Eigenlayer in the Ethereum ecosystem and Babylon in the recent Bitcoin ecosystem. However, in fact, @ jito-ulabs in the Solana ecosystem has already settled on Restaking. And as one of the first decentralized oracle projects to inherit the Jito NCN node consensus network protocol, @ switchboardxyz has already ensured network security based on this. What exactly is going on? Let me clarify: 1) The Jito protocol is a liquidity staking solution focused on MEV by the Solana ecosystem. The vast majority of Solana node operators will use Jito as a standard operation and maintenance tool to leverage its MEV optimization tools and the efficient staking benefits brought by jitoSOL, ultimately improving the operational efficiency and profitability of nodes. It should be said that the role of Jito protocol is similar to that of Lido+Eigenlayer in the Ethereum ecosystem. On the one hand, JitoSOL helps node operators enjoy Solana staking benefits, and on the other hand, Restaking mechanism can provide node operators with other "security as a service" profitability. 2) Switchboard is a decentralized Oracle developed by Solana ecosystem specifically for DeFi protocols, featuring core features such as fast speed, high customization, greater security, and no licensing. Specifically, Switchboard is a oracle originating from the Solana ecosystem, which not only reuses Solana's Validators validator network architecture (enjoying underlying architecture security), but also uses a trusted execution environment (TEE) to ensure data security. It is a completely permissionless oracle network that supports any type of data source. For this reason, if Pyth, Chainlink, API3 and other oracle functions as "plugins" in the Solana ecosystem, Switchboard is more like a specialized oracle network layer in the Solana ecosystem, which can maximize the advantages of the Solana ecosystem, such as reusing existing security infrastructure, reducing network failure risks, and ensuring data transmission reliability. 3) In terms of its deep integration with the Jito protocol, Switchboard is one of the first Node Consensus Networks (NCNs) since Jito introduced the Restaking staking mechanism. It is somewhat similar to Eigenlayer's AVS active verification service node. After becoming an NCN, it can provide "security as a service" capabilities for other networks, thereby gaining additional profitability. The specific working principle is as follows: 1. JitoSOL holders or any other SPL assets (including this token SWTCH) can Restaking to Switchboard NCN nodes to participate in data verification and secure consensus maintenance mining; 2. Obtaining SVSWTCH certificate VRTs not only represents the pledged assets, but also allows them to circulate within the Solana DeFi ecosystem without sacrificing capital locking costs; 3. The pledger can receive multiple benefits, including JitoSOL pledge income, SWTCH token rewards, Switchboard network fee sharing, and more. above. Firstly, it is a multi staking service provider for the first batch of NCN network enhancement nodes, and secondly, it is a client of a oracle project that requires "security service" capabilities. It is equivalent to providing node enhancement services for Jito Restaking mechanism, while also ensuring the secure operation of its own project, and can allocate its project operation profits to its Restaking pledger. Overall, the Switchboard project, which originated from the Solana ecosystem, appears to have a deep integration with the Jito ecosystem on the surface, but in essence, it runs the feasibility of the Jito Restaking system.
