Raiku 🐉

Raiku builds co-located execution for Solana.

Blackline runs your strategy on the same hardware as Raiku's custom validator, the machine that builds the block.

Working prototype, being developed for client use. Access by invitation.

National STEM day so it's physics time! Light in fiber does about 200,000 km a second, roughly 5 microseconds per km. Nobody's speeding up glass, so desks pay for shorter cable.

This week we show you the machine. In our own leader slots the strategy and validator share the hardware.

Zero Distance: your strategy on the same hardware as Raiku's validator — the machine that builds the block.

Only in Raiku's own leader slots. Not across every Solana block.

The first two things a desk usually asks us is, where does my strategy physically run, and what happens in the slots Raiku doesn't lead?

We answer the second one before anyone signs. Outside our own leader slots it's regular Solana, same as everyone else.

Quant trading is a slightly weighted coin, flipped millions of times. At 200ms a slot, how often you get to flip depends on how close you are to the block.
