Raiku is developing an infrastructure layer for the Solana blockchain that coordinates blockspace with validators to provide predictable, “guaranteed” transaction inclusion. The platform introduces a parallel execution layer and a scheduling engine that lets developers reserve blockspace Ahead-of-Time or Just-in-Time, enabling confirmation latencies of 30–50 ms even during heavy network congestion. Raiku’s blockspace marketplace targets use cases such as market making, oracle updates and validator revenue sharing, and is built from scratch in Rust for high performance and flexibility. Development began in July 2024, with a devnet deployment that December and a validator testnet already live; version 2 with an SDK is slated for later this year and a mainnet launch in 2026. Revenue is expected to come from protocol-native fees, transaction priority lanes and validator services, with equity-linked income from specialized RPC offerings. The company employs about 20 people distributed across Europe and Asia and has raised $13.5 million to date via pre-seed and seed SAFEs with token warrants.
