More validator revenue, less headaches
Gain new revenue streams by running the lightweight Raiku Validator Sidecar, selling predictable blockspace directly to builders
Differentiated blockspace means more yield for node operators
Raiku’s Coordination Engine and Sidecar enable validators on Solana to provide soft commitments about transaction landing, leveraging stake-weighted quality of service (swQoS) and our own slot inclusion quality of service (siQoS).
Raiku increases the value of differentiated blockspace for users and applications, and generates more yield for validators
Locality matters in a distributed system
Raiku’s coordination engine is hosted on high-performance data centers equipped with fiber-optic cables, facilitated by worldwide partners.
500+ globally distributed nodes ensure optimal latency performance and network load-balancing.
Why validators choose Raiku
Validators are at the centre of Raiku’s design for fairer, more transparent transaction processing
New revenue streams
Move beyond luck-based MEV to guaranteed block reservation fees and premium execution services.
Secure authentication
Operates using its own cryptographic pair and does not have access to the validator’s keypair.
Failure tolerant
Optimistic failure mode with robust slashing mechanism for proposers who break commitments
Dynamic resource allocation
Raiku doesn’t produce 100% of the block/CUs. Instead, it produces Solana blocks with Raiku transactions according to market demand.
Base client optimizations
Compatible with Firedancer and Agave clients. Engineered for the best performance and for maintenance needs of node operators.
Easy setup and operations
Comes with pre-build dashboards, effective monitoring and alerts to take work off your plate
“Raiku's core belief is that applications should be built around what they need—determinism, performance, locality — not what the base chain forces.”
Robin A. Nordnes
“What’s been missing is a programmable coordination layer, one that gives validators more consistent revenue opportunities and plugs into Solana’s native architecture without compromising its low-latency, high-throughput properties.”
