Ping Network × Jito: Real Bandwidth Joins Solana Restaking

Ping Network has officially joined the Jito ecosystem as a bandwidth-native restaking operator.
This integration brings the universal bandwidth layer to Solana’s modular validator infrastructure, connecting real-world network workloads with on-chain staking logic.
Through Jito’s restaking architecture, our validator now supports stake delegation directly from the Solana ecosystem. This unlocks new use cases for DePIN-powered infrastructure.

What Is Ping NCN

The Ping Node Coordination Network (NCN) is a distributed validator layer that monitors a live network of devices sharing bandwidth around the world.
These devices contribute to real workloads and power decentralized infrastructure including:

• AI data crawling and web scraping
• VPN traffic routing
• CDN-style content delivery
• Geolocation data streaming
• SLA and uptime verification

Our validator tracks sessions, scores reliability, and enables accurate reward distribution based on performance.

What Jito Enables

With Jito restaking, Ping Network can:

• Register as a modular Solana validator
• Accept delegated SOL via Jito vaults
• Tap into Solana-native staking infrastructure
• Operate inside the modular restaking economy
• Reward infrastructure contributions through on-chain logic

This integration allows us to connect performance data and validator activity, creating new reward flows for contributors supporting bandwidth infrastructure.

Why This Matters

Restaking is evolving beyond consensus.
It is becoming the coordination layer for real infrastructure like bandwidth, VPN routing, and uptime.
By integrating with Jito, we unlock:

• Access to Solana-native validator tooling
• Delegation-based incentives for bandwidth providers
• On-chain representation of real-world infrastructure performance
• New utility and yield opportunities for SOL stakers

Contributors can now help secure and scale infrastructure, not just blockchains.

What Is Ping Network

Ping Network is the universal bandwidth layer, a decentralized protocol that turns unused Internet bandwidth into real infrastructure.
We power:

• Scalable, undetectable data crawling
• Decentralized VPN networks
• Edge-enabled CDN routing
• Distributed uptime and monitoring systems

Ping operates in more than 190 countries.
Contributors are rewarded based on verified bandwidth usage through a transparent system called Ping Points.

What Is Jito

Jito Network provides MEV-optimized validator infrastructure for Solana, enabling high-efficiency staking and deep DeFi integrations.
Jito restaking allows users to:

• Stake SOL and SPL assets across multiple networks
• Earn additional rewards for securing partner protocols
• Delegate through permissionless vaults
• Support real infrastructure, like bandwidth, through restaking

With Jito, Ping gains access to a powerful validator layer that links staking to real utility.
