Figment joins Raiku as a launch partner

Figment, a leading staking solution provider for over 1000 institutional clients and the third-largest validator on Solana by stake, is joining Raiku as a launch partner to bring fast, guaranteed transaction inclusion to Solana.

Raiku brings certainty to Solana’s internet capital markets by enabling deterministic execution, guaranteed block inclusion, and low-latency edge compute performance — so transactions go through exactly when and where they are supposed to.

Figment and other node operators are unlocking new non-MEV revenue sources with Raiku, such as ahead-of-time blockspace scheduling and just-in-time transaction inclusion which they are able to offer to application developers as products that were previously unavailable to the market.

Figment and its fellow validator launch partners join Raiku in its mission to make Solana inevitable, accessing novel markets by running the lightweight Raiku Sidecar and tapping into its seamless integration with Anza (Agave) and Firedancer clients.

Figment is proud to partner with Raiku as a launch partner. As one of the largest independent staking providers on Solana, we run validator clients such as Agave, Jito-Agave and Firedancer.

There are clear pain points around guaranteed transaction inclusion. Raiku’s sidecar offers dApps and protocols a method to guarantee access to future blockspace. This allows for novel application design and transaction sequencing, eliminating pain points around transaction execution design. Figment is excited to see Raiku’s Sidecar unlock the next wave of Solana innovation and redefine how dApps access blockspace.” - David RJ Liang, Solana Ecosystem Lead at Figment.

"Figment has earned their place as one of the largest node operators on Solana with their relentless focus on high-quality infrastructure and tooling, ensuring reliability and high performance. Partnering with them reflects the shared belief that validators and their customers deserve the best infrastructure and economic opportunities built on trust, predictability, and guaranteed performance," said Robin Nordnes, CEO and co-founder of Raiku.

What the Raiku-Figment partnership unlocks

Figment’s mission is to provide the best institutional staking infrastructure and solutions to their clients while supporting the adoption, growth and long-term success of the digital asset ecosystem. With a team of experts across multiple domains and full SOC2 compliance certification, Figment is dedicated to security, performance and reliability for both their clients and the networks they support.

This approach perfectly complements Raiku’s commitment to performance and institutional-grade reliability as it partners with node operators like Figment that already secure Solana to ensure guaranteed block inclusion, offering certainty for app developers and users that their transactions will land in times of high stress.

- 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

By integrating with the lightweight Raiku Sidecar, Figment enables app developers and users to fully enjoy those benefits, providing tailored blockspace for use cases that demand institutional-grade precision, speed, and reliability, from high-frequency trading and gaming to AI agents, and more.
