Raiku Airdrop

Raiku is a coordination layer built on top of Solana that provides production-ready infrastructure for high-performance applications. The project addresses Solana's critical transaction reliability issues—where December 2024 saw a 41.2% revert rate for non-vote transactions—by introducing novel transaction types that enable fast inclusion, MEV protection, and deterministic settlement through a validator network. Raiku v1 deployed on Devnet in December 2024 and has been running continuously and incident-free since launch. The platform enables Ahead-of-Time (AoT) block auctions where applications can reserve blockspace in advance, providing deterministic transaction inclusion every 40-50ms (improving to 25-30ms), inclusion signals ahead of time, and MEV protection through dedicated transaction lanes via slot-inclusion QoS (siQoS). Raiku also offers data/proof streaming for large transactions and plans to introduce Bandwidth Markets, a Slot Marketplace, and a Global Account Module in v2 (Q2-Q3 2025).

Raiku is listed as having a potential airdrop opportunity for early participants, though no official airdrop has been confirmed. The project launched its v1 on Devnet in December 2024 and is currently onboarding validators to the testnet network. Private testnet was expected in Q3-Q4 2025, with public testnet planned for early 2026. The project has introduced rkuSOL, a liquid staking token that entered the Solana LST top 30 within its first week, providing a third yield source in the Solana LST stack. While snapshot dates and distribution details have not been announced, early testnet validators, builders integrating Raiku's transaction types, and rkuSOL holders may be positioned for potential future rewards. The project is backed by $13.5M in funding from top-tier investors, suggesting institutional confidence that often precedes token launches.

1. Visit https://raiku.com and familiarize yourself with the platform

4. Review documentation at docs.raiku.com to understand the technology
5. For validators: Register to join the testnet through their documentation
6. For builders: Consider integrating Raiku's transaction types into your Solana applications
7. Monitor announcements for public testnet launch (expected early 2026)
8. Participate in testnet activities when available (transaction testing, validator operations)
9. Consider staking SOL for rkuSOL liquid staking token
10. Build transaction history on testnet to demonstrate genuine usage
11. Join community discussions and provide feedback during testnet phase
12. Monitor official channels for snapshot and token distribution announcements

To maximize potential airdrop eligibility:

• Register early as a validator when testnet applications open
• Participate actively in both private and public testnet phases
• Run a validator node consistently with high uptime
• Use Raiku's novel transaction types (AoT block auctions, data/proof streaming) extensively
• Integrate Raiku infrastructure if you're a builder/developer on Solana
• Hold rkuSOL liquid staking tokens for potential holder rewards
• Engage meaningfully in Discord community discussions and provide technical feedback
• Test edge cases and report bugs during testnet phase
• Build applications using Raiku's guaranteed transaction features
• Focus on quality over quantity - demonstrate genuine infrastructure usage
• Participate in v2 features when they launch (Bandwidth Markets, Slot Marketplace)
• Connect with the team through official channels if you're building on Raiku

Raiku: Solana coordination layer solving 41% transaction failure rate. $13.5M from Pantera, Jump, Lightspeed. Novel AoT block auctions + MEV protection. Testnet 2026. rkuSOL LST live.

$13.5M Pantera-backed Solana infra project in early stage. Funding (Pantera, Jump Crypto, Lightspeed Faction, HashKey, Figment) scores high (8/10), but airdrop mechanics are entirely unannounced so Tokenomics gets 0. No public tokenomics, no TVL, no doxxed team, no claim mechanics. Trusted by Jump, Firedancer, Anza for coordination layer. Sources: raiku.com, messari.io/project/raiku, cryptorank.io/ico/raiku. Confidence: medium.

[Archive decision: ACTIVE. Active: pre-TGE Solana infra project, no announced token or claim process yet.]
