4. Services Overview

Lantern operates a Solana MEV validator running the Jito client and provides the following Services:

Disclaimer: While Lantern facilitates staking and related services through the Solana network, we cannot guarantee or control the exact rewards generated from staking, as they depend on network conditions. The value of SOL and lanternSOL may fluctuate due to market forces, and Lantern assumes no responsibility for price changes or potential losses.
