What to know:

  • The Jito Foundation has acquired SolanaFloor, a data platform and news site focused on the Solana blockchain.
  • The acquisition follows SolanaFloor's shutdown last month due to a $27 million exploit linked to its parent company, Step Finance.
  • Jito plans to immediately relaunch the site with editorial independence to cover network activity, markets, and technical development in the Solana ecosystem.

The Jito Foundation announced its acquisition of SolanaFloor, a data platform and news site focused on the Solana blockchain, and plans to relaunch the publication after its recent shutdown.

SolanaFloor ceased operations last month after an $27 million exploit involving its parent organization, Step Finance. The team considered external financing and acquisition but was unable to continue operating the platform.

Jito stepped in to bring the site back online but did not reveal the acquisition value. The foundation said SolanaFloor will resume publishing immediately while maintaining editorial independence. The newsroom will continue covering network activity, market movements and technical development across the Solana ecosystem.

“When SolanaFloor went dark, the ecosystem lost something difficult to replace,” said Brian Smith, president of Jito Foundation. He described the acquisition as a commitment to supporting information infrastructure that enables market participants to understand onchain developments.

The relaunch comes as the Solana network remains resilient. Spot exchange-traded funds tied to the token now hold nearly $1 billion in assets, while total value locked on the network’s DeFi ecosystem is at $6.7 billion.

Jito itself plays a role in Solana’s infrastructure. The project develops software used by validators to manage transaction ordering and capture maximum extractable value, or MEV, a form of additional revenue that can arise during block production.

The network also runs a liquid staking system that allows users to deposit SOL and receive a token called JitoSOL that remains usable across decentralized finance applications while still earning staking rewards.

Under the new ownership, SolanaFloor’s editorial team will retain control over story selection and coverage priorities. Jito stated that details about the platform’s team, partnerships, and commercial offerings will be provided as the relaunch progresses.

The movie also has a 96% score on Rotten Tomatoes based on the first 56 reviews, with only two reviews considered “rotten,” or negative. The Associated Press hailed the movie as “an American masterpiece,” noting the movie touches on topical political themes and depicts a society where “gun violence, white power and immigrant deportations recur in an ongoing dance, both farcical and tragic.” The movie stars DiCaprio as an ex-revolutionary who reunites with former accomplices to rescue his 16-year-old daughter when she goes missing, and Anderson has said the movie was inspired by the 1990 novel, “Vineland.” Most critics have described the movie as an action thriller with notable chase scenes, which jumps in time from DiCaprio’s character’s early days with fictional revolutionary group, the French 75, to about 15 years later, when he is pursued by foe and military leader Captain Steven Lockjaw, played by Sean Penn. The Warner Bros.-produced film was made on a big budget, estimated to be between $130 million and $175 million, and co-stars Penn, Benicio del Toro, Regina Hall and Teyana Taylor.
