# Jito Airdrop: Claim JTO Tokens for Early Users
**Jito** offers a liquid staking service on the Solana blockchain, distributing MEV (maximum extractable value) rewards to token holders. The Jito Stake Pool allows users to stake their Solana tokens and, in return, receive a liquid stake pool token (JitoSOL). Holders of JitoSOL tokens benefit from liquidity provision while earning a combination of staking and MEV rewards.
