Raiku

AI-driven high-frequency trading platform

Overview

Raiku provides AI-driven trading tools for high-frequency quantitative trading on the Solana blockchain, offering a platform that runs machine-learning models with deterministic settlement and protections against front-running. It uses a hybrid architecture blending native and external components to speed execution and reduce confirmation times, enabling Solana-based DEXs to offer spot trading natively and perpetual offerings more efficiently. By decoupling block-building, Raiku lets validators and developers specialize and create new revenue opportunities while improving app experiences; it also supports privacy-focused social apps and transparent micropayments for data control and monetization. Its goal is to deliver low-latency, scalable, and fair on-chain trading infrastructure and tooling for the Solana ecosystem.
