Block Engine (Jito)

Jito's off-chain infrastructure component that receives bundles from MEV searchers, simulates them against the current chain state to verify profitability and validity, and forwards the highest-value bundles to the current Jito-enabled leader just before block production. The Block Engine operates as a low-latency relay that continuously tracks the leader schedule and streams winning bundles in real time, acting as a private transaction ordering marketplace sitting between searchers and validators.
