Tips Rebate

Overview

To ensure fast inclusion and protection against frontrunning, many users rely on Jito bundles and spend significant amounts of SOL on priority tips. While effective, this often leads to high costs, especially in competitive settings.

The tips_rebate mode enables fast execution with a chance to earn back part of your tip.

How it works

Instead of tipping Jito directly, you include a tip to Kolibrio using a standard Solana transfer instruction.

Kolibrio will submit your transaction in two parallel paths:

• Via Jito as a bundle with 100% of the tip, ensuring it competes for prioritized inclusion

• Via SWQoS, Kolibrio’s fast path through its validator partners with strong stake and reliable performance

Here’s what happens:

• ✅ If the transaction is included via Jito, the full tip is consumed—same as any regular Jito bundle

• ✅ If SWQoS lands it first, the tip is saved and 50% is rebated back to you

This gives you the best of both worlds: high-priority execution and partial tip recovery when SWQoS wins.

Requirements

• Include a tip to Kolibrio by adding a standard Solana transfer instruction to your transaction. The transfer should send the tip amount to a dedicated tip address. sign up at app.kolibrio.xyz to receive yours.

• Set broadcast mode by adding the query parameter: tx_broadcast_mode=tips_rebate

• Specify your rebate address using: rev_recv=YOUR_SOL_REVSHARE_ADDRESS This is where your 50% rebate will be sent if SWQoS lands the transaction.

Recommendation

To protect your transaction from malicious validators (e.g., sandwich attacks), always include the jitodontfront account in the transaction. This activates Jito’s sandwich mitigation mechanism.
