Bundle not landed

Your Jito bundle was submitted but not included in a block. The bundle expired or was outbid by another bundle targeting the same opportunity.

Common causes

1. Tip too low. Other bundles targeting the same opportunity offered a higher tip to the validator.
2. Bundle simulation failed. One of the transactions in the bundle failed during simulation (e.g., slippage, account state changed).
3. Leader not a Jito validator. The bundle can only land in slots where the leader runs the Jito-Solana client. Not all validators use it.
4. Blockhash expired. The bundle’s blockhash expired before it could be included.
5. Conflict with another bundle. Two bundles touched the same accounts, and the higher-tip bundle won.

How to fix

1. Increase the tip. Higher tips make your bundle more competitive. Monitor tip levels using the Jito tip dashboard or API.
2. Retry quickly. If the bundle was not landed, resubmit immediately with a fresh blockhash.
3. Check simulation. Use the bundle simulation endpoint to verify all transactions pass before submitting.
4. Target Jito leader slots. Use the getLeaderSchedule to predict upcoming Jito validator slots and time your submission.

Tip recommendations

Tips are paid in SOL to the Jito tip accounts. The tip transaction must be the last transaction in the bundle.

FAQ

How long does a bundle stay pending? Bundles expire after approximately 5 leader slots (~2 seconds) if not included.

Can I include multiple transactions in a bundle? Yes. A bundle can contain up to 5 transactions that execute atomically — all succeed or all fail.

What percentage of validators run Jito? As of late 2025, most mainnet validators by stake weight run the Jito-Solana client. Coverage varies but typically exceeds 90% of leader slots.

How do I check if my bundle landed? Use the Jito getBundleStatuses API with your bundle ID to check its status.
