The Jito Foundation has launched the Block Assembly Marketplace (BAM), a new system aimed at improving how blocks are built and how transactions are seized on the Solana Blockchain.
According to a press release that is shared with Coindesk, BAM is designed to make “transactions sequencing transparent and verifiable”, while programmable innovation on the BlockSpace layer becomes possible, unlocking new sales options for developers and reducing the harmful effects of maximum additionable value (MEV).
The launch builds on the already established infrastructure of Jito, including the widely used Validator client and the Jito Block Engine.
A crucial piece of this system is the use of trusted implementation environments (T -pieces). T -pieces function such as secure black subjects, simulating and ranking of transaction bundles that are submitted by the seekers without revealing sensitive data. This ensures that private strategies are protected, while still enables validators to verify the outcome, aimed at finding a balance between transparency and confidentiality.
BAM introduces a modular architecture that consists of three important components. BAM nodes are specialized planners that organize transactions privately with the help of secure hardware. BAM validators are the validators that perform the updated Jito-Solana software flient and receive the ordered transactions of these nodes and perform them on-chain. Finally, plug -ins developers, traders and applications offer a programmable interface to communicate with the planner, making adapted transaction logic possible. This plug -in also open a new income model where developers can earn money from adapted logic, and validators, node operators and strikers can share in the value they help generate.
According to the team, BAM will launch on Minstet in the coming weeks with a first set of validators led by important Solana Ecosystem players such as Figment, Helius, Sol Strategies and Triton One.
“BAM opens a completely new design space for developers to build applications that were previously not possible,” said Lucas Bruder, CEO of Jito Labs, in the press release. “It gives builders more control, creates new ways to generate and share value, and lays the foundation for a more dynamic, composite blockspace economy on Solana.”
