Unlocking Instantaneous Transactions: The Future of Blockchain with Raiku

is an advanced coordination layer built for the blockchain.

Recently I spoke to Raiku's CEO and founder Robin A Nordness to hear about his vision for the future of transactions on Sallana's highly scalable blockchain.

Take a look.

Well, first and foremost, you're here in New York and you are attending Accelerate here in New York City.

So tell us what you've been hearing, especially since the developer side of the conference has kicked off ahead of the institutional side.

There was a developer event at Tolan Accelerate yesterday.

It's also happening today, Scale or die.

They just announced the new consensus yesterday by Professor Roger coming from Zurich.

It's called Alpenglo.

It's It's the biggest change that has happened to Solana.

It's going to take finality from a little above 12 seconds down to 100 150 milliseconds, which is absolutely massive, making the network a real-time network for finance and global markets.

And that is very key and I'm sure that's something that people are talking about right now.

But when we're talking about institutional adoption, what do you think are some of the obstacles moving forward as well as opportunities?

The way the current network is structured today is when you send the transaction to the network, you're hoping for the best.

Will it be included?

You don't really know.

So there is waiting games, latency games.

You're hoping for the best and.

If you can change this to be a guaranteed outcome, you know what will happen in advance so you can plan for it and you can make that particular operational transaction instantaneous.

That means that you can run strategies that you're now doing on traditional markets, but on chain, distributed networks.

If we can change that to be instantaneous markets.

Instead of waiting for the best, then that will completely change the game.

Um, that's that's one aspect.

If you can also ensure that you can separate certain execution environments, let's say like a trading venue from the main networking itself, it can support particularly use cases to be regulatory compliant and in that way on both institutions essentially.

And you have a unique perspective as being a part of RAICU.

So when it comes to transactions, we know whether we're talking about financial transactions here at the New York Stock Exchange or transactions on Solana.

There has been some focus on failed transactions.

So what's going on there and what do you think needs to be overcome?

Failed transactions is part of a structural issue, so Right now today you send a transaction, you hope for the best.

And that means that many people, they send that transaction many different times, and it needs to spam.

Um Now if you can solve that, then you solve failed transactions, get rid of spam.

By essentially guaranteeing an outcome.

The way we do this is at Riker we're enabling participants to reserve block space or particular resources ahead of time so they can plan for it, and with that it comes with a guaranteed results or a promise that the transactional operation will actually be executed and in that way you also reduceam.

That's what we do.

Um, yeah.

And when people think about Solana, they might be focused on meme coins, for example, especially given the time that we're living in in 2025, especially stateside.

So give us your take on what needs to happen when we're talking about the regulatory landscape and as part of Accelerate, we know we'll be hearing from some policymakers on Friday, which is the institutional part of Accelerate.

So what are you paying attention to?

When it comes to the policy sides, that's not my expert area for sure, but when it comes to the computational side, the way the infrastructure is built up, you need to ensure that you can meet the functional requirements of the institutions, um.

And that pretty much comes down to latency, make sure that the underlying infrastructure is really as performant as pretty much where we are today, so you can run these strategies and be in an environment that you're actually familiar with.

And finally, before I let you go, I'm sure you have a vision moving forward when it comes to innovation and also for Raiku.

So what does that actually look like?

So Reichel ultimately exponentially scales computes at the peripheral edge of the network.

So Solama today has limited capacity of compute power.

We exponentially compute that or increase that at the edge edge compute where each application.

Can exponentially increase the compute power, and they will be able to own that compute power, own the logic of the application that they're making.

I mean that's where you set the stage for radical innovation that just wasn't possible before.

That's what we're doing.

OK, Robin, thank you so much for joining me today here at the New York Stock Exchange, and thank you for sharing your.
