⚙️Block Engine
Global server URLs and IP addresses
The Jito Block Engine is responsible for:
Ingesting transactions from relayers
Forwarding these transactions to searchers
Ingesting bundles and transactions from searchers
Performing bundle simulations
Selecting the most profitable transactions for the network
Forwarding the best transactions and bundles to validators for processing
Validator Location
Given the latency-sensitive nature of the Jito pipeline, selecting a block engine close to your validator is essential. For Jito bundles to be included in blocks during leader slots, the Block Engine must forward them within the appropriate slot timeframe. Optimal round-trip latency between the Block Engine and a validator is less than 50ms.
If your location doesn't offer low-latency access, you can still run Jito-Solana effectively. Validators with round-trip latency under 100ms are performing well, considering current network and bundle throughput. Note that this latency primarily affects Jito bundle inclusion; votes and non-leader slots remain unaffected. Even during leader slots, blocks will continue to be produced as normal due to the relayer's architecture.
We are rapidly expanding our geographic footprint to ensure most validators have convenient access. If your location lacks an optimal access point, please share your preferences with Brian on Jito's Discord. This will help us prioritize new location additions.
