Chorus One Joins Raiku as Validator Partner

Chorus One, one of the largest institutional staking providers globally, operating infrastructure for over 40 Proof-of-Stake (PoS) networks, including Cosmos, Solana, Avalanche, and Near, is excited to support Raiku to bring transaction certainty and speed to Solana.

Capital markets on the internet require precision and reliability. Raiku delivers both through deterministic execution, ensured block inclusion, and high-speed performance, so transactions execute when and where developers and users expect them to.

This technology opens new possibilities for validators like Chorus One, creating opportunities to generate value for stakers beyond MEV, including offering scheduled blockspace and customized products tailored for application developers.

Chorus One joins other leading validators in Raiku's effort to position Solana as the inevitable choice for internet capital markets, unlocking new market opportunities through the Raiku Sidecar's lightweight architecture, which works alongside both Anza (Agave) and Firedancer client implementations.

“Since 2018, Chorus One has been committed to providing institutional-grade staking infrastructure that delivers reliability and performance at scale. We have a deep footprint in Solana since its genesis block, including publishing the first MEV whitepaper, bringing Lido to Solana, and consistently experimenting with the latest clients through our research validator. We are excited to work with Raiku to explore the next evolution in the complex transaction supply chain on Solana.” said Brian Crain, CEO of Chorus One.

“Chorus One brings deep institutional credibility and operational excellence to Solana. Their decision to support Raiku reflects the growing recognition that validators need more than unpredictable fee markets. They deserve new revenue models built on reliability, transparency, and consistent performance," said Robin Nordnes, CEO and co-founder of Raiku.

What Raiku and Chorus One bring

Since its founding in 2018, Chorus One has focused on democratizing access to staking while maintaining the highest standards of security and operational excellence. With experience managing infrastructure across over 40 networks and maintaining ISO 27001 certification, Chorus One combines institutional rigor with a commitment to advancing the broader Proof-of-Stake ecosystem.

Raiku shares this focus on reliability and decentralization, working with Solana's existing validator network to guarantee block inclusion. This offers app developers and users confidence that their transactions will execute during periods of network strain.

- Unwavering reliability that maintains performance under peak load and scale

- Guaranteed execution providing developers with predictable transaction outcomes

- Minimal latency with precise compute control when timing is critical

- Complete flexibility for builders to craft sophisticated application logic with granular control

These capabilities address a core challenge on Solana. While the blockchain was built for high throughput, peak demand periods can result in transaction failure rates reaching 75%. This volatility has limited its appeal for widespread adoption and enterprise-level financial applications, despite substantial underlying potential.

By supporting Raiku, Chorus One empowers developers and end users to access these advantages, delivering customized blockspace for applications requiring institutional-level accuracy, responsiveness, and dependability, spanning use cases including high-frequency trading platforms, gaming applications, AI agent systems, and more.
