Dawn Labs Joins Raiku as Validator Launch Partner
Dawn Labs, a top-tier Solana validator with over 400,000 SOL staked and top-10 network performance, joins Raiku as a launch partner.
Dawn Labs, a top-tier Solana validator with over 400,000 SOL staked and top-10 network performance, is joining Raiku as a launch partner to bring fast, guaranteed transactions to Solana.
Building reliable internet capital markets requires infrastructure that developers can depend on. Raiku delivers this through deterministic execution, guaranteed block inclusion, and low-latency performance: ensuring transactions execute exactly as intended.
This infrastructure opens fresh economic opportunities for validators like Dawn Labs, creating non-MEV revenue streams for their stakers through services like priority blockspace scheduling and customized solutions for application builders.
As a launch partner, Dawn Labs joins Raiku's effort to position Solana as the definitive blockchain for institutional use. By deploying the lightweight Raiku Sidecar, Dawn Labs gains access to emerging market opportunities while maintaining compatibility with both Anza (Agave) and Firedancer clients.
"At Dawn Labs, we don’t just operate high-performance validators — we actively help Japanese enterprises explore new business opportunities on Solana. Partnering with Raiku allows us to bring deterministic execution and guaranteed inclusion to enterprise PoCs, further strengthening the foundation for institutional adoption in Japan," said Yutaro Nagumo, CEO at Dawn Labs.
"Dawn Labs' track record in high-performance validation and enterprise partnerships makes them an ideal collaborator. Together, we're building validator economics beyond unpredictable fee structures: creating sustainable models grounded in reliability and guaranteed execution," said Robin Nordnes, CEO and co-founder of Raiku.
What the Raiku-Dawn Labs partnership unlocks
Dawn Labs is committed to strengthening Solana’s validator ecosystem and accelerating institutional adoption, with a particular focus on supporting Japanese enterprises. By operating high-performance validators and fostering collaboration with industry partners, Dawn Labs aims to make Solana the foundation for enterprise-grade blockchain solutions.
Raiku holds a similar commitment to institutional-grade reliability and financial innovation, leveraging Solana's existing validator infrastructure to guarantee block inclusion, giving developers and users confidence their transactions will execute successfully during network congestion.
- Reliability that never fails under extreme pressure and scale
- Deterministic execution that guarantees outcomes for developers
- Low latency and control over compute when every millisecond matters
- Freedom for builders to design low-level application logic with unparalleled control
These capabilities address a critical challenge facing Solana: while engineered for exceptional throughput, the network currently experiences transaction failure rates approaching 75% during demand spikes. Such unreliability has hindered institutional adoption and mass-market viability, leaving significant potential unrealized.
Through Raiku Sidecar integration, Dawn Labs can deliver these capabilities directly to developers and users, offering customized blockspace allocation for applications requiring institutional-level precision and speed: spanning high-frequency trading, gaming, AI agents, and beyond.
