Blockchain startup Raiku completes $13.5 million financing

ChainCatcher news, blockchain startup Raiku announced the completion of $13.5 million in seed and pre-seed funding. The seed round was led by Pantera Capital, with participation from Jump Crypto, Lightspeed Faction, and others. The pre-seed round was led by Figment Capital and Big Brain Holdings, with participation from Reciprocal Ventures and Anagram.

It is reported that Raiku aims to provide a predictable and "guaranteed" transaction execution environment for the Solana network by building blockchain 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 enables developers and institutions to pre-confirm transactions with microsecond precision through a parallel execution layer and a blockchain space reservation mechanism, ensuring execution reliability even under extreme loads. Currently, Raiku's testnet is online, with plans to launch the mainnet in 2026. This funding will be used to accelerate technology development and ecosystem expansion.
