Raiku

Raiku is an advanced interconnected system designed to extend critical network communication functions on Solana. By allowing applications, operators and the L1 to work together cohesively, Solana will achieve exponentially higher performance, reliability and scale.

Background and Vision

When we founded Raiku, our vision was simple: blockchain networks will continuously struggle to reach their full potential and serve global use cases until they achieve the following three things:

• Reliability and security comparable to traditional systems
• Performance that can cater to generalised and app-specific use-cases
• Design flexibility that serves existing demand for block space while unlocking new and powerful business models for both the Solana ecosystem and external, optimised applications.

Solana has achieved significant success positioning itself as the most performant chain capable of supporting Web2-level applications and user experience. Still, the network has had moments where it still struggles with transaction reliability, speed limitations and extractive MEV. These challenges have damaged the overall user experience.

We believe Solana will power much of our future digital activity, from capital markets to next generation data, infrastructure networks and AI-powered businesses. To get there, Raiku solves the fundamental challenges that limit Solana’s potential from achieving our collective vision.
