Rakurai is a Web3 infrastructure project (backed by Anagram, Colosseum, P2P, Slow Ventures et al), building a high-performance validator client for Solana. Their focus is on increasing throughput and improving block packing so transactions land more reliably.
One of their biggest strengths is a proprietary scheduler designed to maximize validator rewards without sacrificing TPS and maintaining full compatibility with Solana Foundation Delegation Program (SFDP).
Right now, validators running their client are earning +35% more rewards than the cluster average. Rakurai also enables validators to share this performance boost with their delegators through automated block-reward sharing, resulting in higher yields. All reward distribution is fully automated, with no operational overhead.
Rakurai also offers an LST ($raiSOL) that allows users to stake SOL and earn some of the highest APYs available, with liquidity accessible across Solana DeFi platforms like Sanctum and Jupiter.
