Jito Foundation relaunches SolanaFloor to restore Solana news and data after Step Finance breach
Jito Foundation has acquired SolanaFloor and restarted the Solana-focused news and data platform after it shut down earlier in March, a move described as a rescue amid fallout from a Step Finance security incident [2][4].
The Jito Foundation announced it has acquired SolanaFloor and resumed the independent Solana news and data service; SolanaFloor reported it returned on March 10 after announcing an immediate shutdown roughly two weeks earlier [2][4].
SolanaFloor’s abrupt shutdown followed disruptions across the Solana information ecosystem after Step Finance and Remora experienced losses and service interruptions; outlets link those outages to a Step Finance security incident, with reported loss figures ranging from $30 million to $40 million in different reports [3][1]. Jito — which develops the Jito liquid staking protocol and operates large Solana validators — backed the acquisition and revival of the platform [2][3].
The acquisition restores SolanaFloor’s coverage and data services; the cited reports do not provide additional operational or financial details about the arrangement beyond the restart announcement [2][4].
Observers said the move returns an independent Solana-focused outlet to service after a period of instability in the ecosystem, but further specifics about the acquisition and future governance were not disclosed in the reports [4][2].
