🚨 NEW: @ShoalResearch just dropped a deep dive on Raiku, Solana's high-performance edge compute layer. A TL;DR on what you’ll find in the report 🧵👇.1/7

Extensions maintain:.🐉Single global state.🐉Unified account system.🐉Direct composability.🐉No bridge requirements.🐉Same security model. You're not leaving Solana. You're getting a better Solana. Can't get that with L2s.

RT @degenroot: We treat validators like they're just passive block producers following consensus rules. Wrong lens. They're programmable….

Part 2 incoming 👀.

7/ The bottom line from @ShoalResearch:. "Need more throughput? Spin up an extension. Need custom logic? Plug in an edge compute zone. Worried about peak times? Offer guaranteed inclusion.". Read the full deep dive:

6/ What makes this different from L2s:. ❌ Ethereum L2s: Fragmented liquidity, complex bridging, separate tokens ✅ Raiku: One network feel, unified accounts, composability preserved. "Edge compute environments" vs "rollups" -> enhancement rather than separation.

Use cases:.• HFT with microsecond precision.• Institutional-grade payment infra.• Hybrid CEX/DEX exchanges with superior UX. 5/7.

How it works: Edge compute environments. We introduce specialized execution zones that run parallel to Solana's main chain, powered by the same validator set. Think express lanes on a highway, not separate roads. 4/7.

Enter Raiku: Specialized execution infrastructure that makes Solana transactions fast, reliable, and guaranteed. Built as a sidecar to Solana's validator network, Raiku enables developers to:. • Reserve blockspace ahead of time.• Schedule transactions precisely.• Avoid.

The problem:. High-frequency traders on Solana see failure rates up to 75% during congestion. Imagine launching a financial product and being told your transaction "might fail unless you spam it or bribe the validator.". We have a solution for that! .2/7.

gm! what a glorious day to be building on Solana!.

RT @degenroot: Validators used to just validate. Now they run PBS, MEV infrastructure, oracle services, and god knows what else. They're be….

Ready for a deep dive?. @Shoalresearch explores how we build better Solana blocks with guaranteed settlement and high-performance edge compute.

You can’t build a reliable global system if every actor is fighting over the same slot. Predictability matters.

Quantitative trading firms and high-frequency trading bots typically face much higher transaction reversion rates (closer to 66%). There was no way to execute thousands of cross-exchange trades per second with microsecond precision and guaranteed settlement timing. Before now.

The architecture we're building is designed to solve real business problems and unlock entire new markets. 🏦 Finance: Execute thousands of cross-exchange trades per second with microsecond precision. Enable hybrid CEX/DEX models with superior UX. 💻 Neo-Banking: Build.

Enabling faster, more reliable extensions on @Solana doesn’t just open up completely new use cases. It also makes pre-existing applications more market competitive – whether they adopt full or hybrid extension architectures. The Solana takeover is inevitable.

RT @degenroot: This is why Solana's architecture is brilliant - multiple runtimes can coexist. The challenge becomes coordination. How do….

RT @degenroot: 1/ Solana is evolving from 1.0 to 2.0, but there's a gap. Serious applications can't build onchain because infrastructure do….
