Rakurai, a San Francisco, CA-based provider of an infrastructure project for Solana staking, raised $3M in Seed funding.
The round was led by Anagram Ventures. Other investors included Colosseum, Slow Ventures, Robot Ventures Crypto.com, P2P.org, GlobalStake and Cyber Fund.
The company intends to use the funds to advance the rollout of its platform, offering high QoS (quality of service) transaction landing through increased efficiencies to retail and institutional participants alike.
Led by CEO Ali Rizvi, Rakurai is a validator that boosts TPS with proprietary scheduling and pipeline optimizations. Operating on the Solana network, it builds transaction-dense blocks providing users, dApps and bots with transaction landing when they use the platform and also enhances yield for stakers through sharing of block rewards. Node operators can access high block rewards and deliver higher yields by deploying the Rakurai client.
