Raiku 🐉
@raikucom
Raiku makes every transaction fast, reliable, and predictable - exactly when and where it needs to happen. Built to scale Solana for next gen apps.
🚨 NEW: @ShoalResearch just dropped a deep dive on Raiku, Solana's high-performance edge compute layer A TL;DR on what you’ll find in the report 🧵👇 1/7
Raiku is rethinking how apps interact with Solana. Solana’s known for fast, composable apps with constant global state—but not every app needs that. @raikucom is pushing network extensions and edge compute, enabling new use cases that current Solana infra can’t support.
Robinhood needed something Solana couldn't provide: the ability to guarantee trades execute in order. Raiku gives apps that same control without sacrificing Solana's performance or access to the broader DeFi ecosystem. Dive into it in our latest blog 👇 x.com/raikucom/statu…

POV: developers pretending 400ms latency works for market makers.
Extensions maintain: 🐉Single global state 🐉Unified account system 🐉Direct composability 🐉No bridge requirements 🐉Same security model You're not leaving Solana. You're getting a better Solana. Can't get that with L2s.
We treat validators like they're just passive block producers following consensus rules. Wrong lens. They're programmable coordination engines that can offer deterministic scheduling, pre-confirmations, and execution guarantees. Whole new economic model waiting to be unlocked.
Part 2 incoming 👀
95% of HFT transactions fail on Solana. Not a scalability issue. It's predictability. When market makers need sub-30ms confirmations and mainnet delivers 400ms, that gap becomes your entire business model. Deep dive on the solution: x.com/raikucom/statu…
