What it is
Raiku focused on an off-chain transaction scheduler that acts as a proxy and network coordinator for Solana validators. The system maintains an internal view of upcoming leaders, routes transactions to the right validator, and enforces delivery rules to keep throughput high and spam low.
Highlights
- Built the off-chain scheduler node that receives transactions and applies routing, verification, and duplication policies
- Implemented leader-aware routing using an internal view of validators running a modified Solana (Agave) validator
- Routed transactions to validator-adjacent sidecars that hold requests until the target slot, then deliver via private links
- Achieved predictable, high-quality transaction delivery by aligning off-chain scheduling with validator slots
- Shipped observability and operator tooling alongside admin dashboards
Focus areas
- Leader-aware scheduling and validator-side delivery guarantees
- Low-latency networking and routing correctness
- Operational tooling, observability, and operator UX
Status
Work completed between August 2024 and September 2025.
