Here’s some more information about the tokens:
Jito (JTO) is the governance token of Jito, a liquid staking and MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) protocol built on Solana. Jito lets users stake SOL and receive JitoSOL, a liquid staking token, while capturing additional rewards generated from MEV. The JTO token is used for governance, giving holders a say in the protocol’s parameters and treasury.
Grass (GRASS) is the token of a decentralised network that lets users share their unused internet bandwidth in exchange for rewards. That bandwidth powers web data collection for AI and other applications, creating an open, community-owned data layer. GRASS is used to reward network participants and to govern the protocol.
World Liberty Financial (WLFI) is the governance token of World Liberty Financial, a decentralised finance platform focused on lending, borrowing and stablecoin services. WLFI holders can participate in the governance of the protocol, including votes on its parameters and future direction.

Will Kraken offer more pairs on margin?
Yes! But our policy is to never reveal any details before launch – not even which pairs we are considering. All of Kraken’s listed margin pairs are available on our website. Our client engagement specialists cannot answer any questions about which pairs we may be listing in the future.
Trade with caution
There is no guarantee that a limit order will execute. There is no guarantee of margin pool availability at all times. There is also no guarantee of a market order executing at a certain price. The availability and liquidity of the particular digital asset will impact these types of orders.
