Summary

In this episode of the Solfate Podcast, hosts James and Nick welcome Robin, founder of Raiku, to discuss Raiku's approach to guaranteed Solana transaction inclusion using validator sidecars, a decentralized coordination layer, and ahead-of-time block auctions. The conversation covers why L1s hit physical latency limits, how inclusion signals and pre-reserved blockspace reduce dropped transactions and retry spam, and where Raiku differs from existing infrastructure like Jito bundles. Robin shares his background from Ethereum and Hyperledger, why he chose Solana, what’s shipping in Raiku's testnet v1 vs v2, and how validator incentives, pricing modules, and oracle speed factor into high-performance DeFi applications.
