Restaking is blowing up, and Solana’s ecosystem is gaining serious momentum. With Jito launching their own restaking, it’s clear that the space is evolving fast.
At Cambrian, we’ve built an SDK that makes integrating Jito restaking insanely easy:
⚡ 90% Faster Development – Cut NCN dev time by 90%
👨💻 Smaller Team Requirements – Reduce team size from 3–4 to just 1–2 engineers
🛠 Ready-Made Components – Production-ready building blocks for Jito restaking
If you're building in the Solana restaking space, this is the fastest way to ship.
A Node Consensus Network (NCN) is a group of operators running software to deliver decentralized services on Solana. With Jito Restaking, these operators stake assets via vaults, receive VRTs (Vault Receipt Tokens), and must mutually opt in to participate in the NCN’s consensus rules. The restaking model ensures that if any operator misbehaves or underperforms, slashing can occur, preserving the network’s trust and security.
In practice, NCNs can be used for anything from validation services to oracles and data bridging. Each NCN defines its own parameters – like how many operator signatures are required (threshold) and what slashing conditions apply. By combining Jito Restaking for economic security with custom NCN logic, developers can build flexible, trust-minimized solutions on Solana.
