graiku

have a quick announcement to make:

i'm going to be taking a step back and working with raiku in more of an advisor capacity working within the community more directly

after today's townhall, we will be pausing the livestreams for the time being while the team focuses on blackline, rkuSOL, breakpoint, and Q4 momentum as we build towards a massive 2027

while this does mean you will see less of me, BUT i will still be here, working with the mod team, maintaining the bots that keep this community chugging along, and assisting with overall strategy

moving forward there will be less raiku townhall NFTs distributed, however, the gamer and anti-slop NFTs will continue to be distributed on a weekly basis

i am very proud of everything we have built so far and will continue to build - i genuinely believe we have the strongest community in crypto and that this change will not set us off course from that!

i will be answering any questions live during today's townhall at 01:00 PM Join on Discord

if you have any questions, ping me, @John Farmer, or the mods in #🏠︱english

The 2nd Article this week from Intern to help you understand better about what we are shipping

What Is Co-location on Solana?

Most trading strategies operate somewhere on the network and compete to get their transactions to the validator

Blackline takes a different approach: the strategy runs on the same physical machine as a Raiku validator, putting it directly beside where execution happens

This removes the propagation gap and provides guaranteed inclusion for eligible orders in blocks produced by Raiku

It’s more than simply having a faster RPC or paying higher priority fees. It’s a structural advantage built into where the strategy operates

Raiku Learn: Why Deterministic Ordering and Guaranteed Execution Are Different Problems on Solana?

What's the difference between deterministic ordering and guaranteed execution?
Simple:

Deterministic ordering: the rules are followed
Guaranteed execution: your transaction lands

A transaction can be ordered fairly and transparently and still never make it into the block

Our latest article breaks down ordering, inclusion, preconfirmations, reservations, and why execution certainty matters for serious trading strategies on Solana

Process certainty ≠ outcome certainty.

What is the Certainty Economy?

Blockchain has always operated on best effort execution. But as more serious capital moves onchain, “probably” isn’t good enough.

Execution certainty is becoming a market of its own

Probably isn't good enough when you’re trading onchain

Raiku is fixing that

The Engineering Contract lets you reserve blockspace + execution ahead of time, so your tx doesn’t have to fight for a spot when shit gets congested.

Less probably More certainty

This week we're heading back into the archives for a Raiku Deep Dive Revisited.

We wrote this when Alpenglow was still a proposal. It activates in October and the NASDAQ comparison just got a lot more relevant.

The new engineering contract opens the door to things that simply were not possible onchain before, especially for institutional use cases

This is actually a pretty big step for us ngl

AOT + JIT basically let you reserve execution instead of fighting for blockspace when it matters and we are really curious to see how this plays out as validator coverage expands
