Solana Co-Location: How Raiku Brings Strategies Closer

Summary

Raiku shares an article explaining Solana co-location and how Blackline runs on the same physical machine as a Raiku validator. This setup removes the propagation gap and guarantees inclusion for eligible orders in Raiku-produced blocks, offering a structural advantage beyond faster RPCs or higher priority fees.

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

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
