[Raiku, a Solana Infrastructure Project, Completes $13.5 Million Financing] Odaily Planet Daily News – Blockchain startup Raiku announced the completion of $13.5 million in Seed and Pre-seed round financing. The Seed round was led by Pantera Capital, with participation from Jump Crypto, Lightspeed Faction, and other institutions. The Pre-seed round was led by Figment Capital and Big Brain Holdings, with Reciprocal Ventures and Anagram also participating. Raiku aims to provide a predictable and 'guaranteed' transaction execution environment for the Solana network by building block space coordination infrastructure. Raiku founder Robin Nordnes pointed out that while Solana is known for its high speed, its reliability significantly decreases during network congestion. Raiku leverages a parallel execution layer and block space reservation mechanism to enable developers and institutions to pre-confirm transactions with microsecond-level precision, ensuring execution reliability even under extreme load conditions. Raiku's testnet is currently live, with plans to launch the mainnet in 2026. The funds raised will be used to accelerate technology development and ecosystem expansion.
