Jito vs 
Lido DAO
Liquid staking on two different chains. Lido dominates Ethereum staking and issues stETH, at a scale that has itself become a decentralisation debate. Jito is the leading Solana equivalent and adds a distinctive twist: it captures MEV from block production and passes a share to stakers, so its yield has a second source. Same basic product, different chain economics underneath.
