One year of BAM and couldn't be happier for what we've accomplished. By far the most challenging project we've worked on at Jito; everything between Linux kernel patches, deeply understanding AMD SEV-SNP, systems performance tuning, and scheduler design.
From ~2% of stake to ~36%, three major scheduler refactors, almost all Solana propAMMs using maker priority plugin, and two clients. The data on spreads and markets for BAM leader slots is very interesting and hoping to share more on this soon. Even more excited for some of the plugins for Solana traders we're cooking on over the next three months.
Job is not finished.
