Solana infrastructure project Raiku completes $13.5 million financing

Jinse Finance reported that blockchain startup Raiku has announced the completion of a $13.5 million seed and pre-seed funding round, with investors including Pantera Capital, Jump Crypto, and Lightspeed Faction. The project aims to provide the Solana network with a predictable and "guaranteed" transaction execution environment by building block space coordination infrastructure. Raiku founder Robin Nordnes pointed out that while Solana is known for its high speed, its reliability drops significantly during network congestion. Raiku enables developers and institutions to pre-confirm transactions with microsecond-level precision through a parallel execution layer and block space reservation mechanism, ensuring execution reliability even under extreme load. Raiku's testnet is currently live, and the mainnet is planned to launch in 2026. The funds raised will be used to accelerate technology development and ecosystem expansion.
