Jito’s BAM upgrade aims to enhance revenue generation for Solana apps by introducing BAM plugins, which are programmable interfaces for controlling transaction sequencing. This upgrade has the potential to facilitate a mass repricing of Solana apps and app tokens. The public messaging around the upgrade has largely highlighted BAM's privacy-preserving capabilities and its application control over transaction execution. However, discussions on how BAM could provide additional revenue streams have been less emphasized. Apps could implement features like speed bumps to improve transaction efficiency, which may lead to increased earnings. It’s argued that applications may eventually earn much more than validators and stakers if BAM functionally delivers on its promises. The hope is that this new revenue will benefit Solana's native tokens. Drawing a parallel to Ethereum, where successful apps like Uniswap have adopted measures to internalize value, Solana might need to implement similar strategies to ensure long-term success and sustainability for its popular applications.
