Rakurai

Rakurai is a Solana staking infrastructure provider that operates high-performance validator nodes optimized for throughput, block reward capture, and yield generation. Its core technical differentiator is a custom validator implementation capable of producing blocks up to 50% larger than the cluster average, with a target of 100 million compute units per block, enabling higher fee capture and staking rewards of up to 35% above baseline. The platform serves two primary audiences: retail and institutional SOL stakers who deposit via the raiSOL liquid staking token, and node operators who run validators using Rakurai's infrastructure to gain a performance edge over standard cluster participants. Rakurai has exceeded 2% of Solana's total network stake and is backed by a group of venture and ecosystem investors including blockchain-focused funds and validator infrastructure specialists.
