Jito Labs has decided to suspend the mempool offered through the Jito Block Engine due to negative externalities impacting users on Solana.
The decision has been made after deliberate conversations with the Jito Labs team and key Solana ecosystem stakeholders.

- Deterministic tips so no wasted fees if a tx fails.
This ultimately reduces unproductive network spam!
5. With $JUP creating more opportunities and volatility across the chain, we look forward to seeing what kind of tips start rolling in!
