Welcome to those heading to London. I'll be at Breakpoint, and if you're interested in Raiku, or just infrastructure more broadly, I'd love to meet up. Drop me a message.
Gold Sponsor at Breakpoint 2026.
15β17 November, Olympia London. We're on the main staircase, so you'll walk past us at least twice a day.
Come and talk about where the block gets built, and how close you can trade to it.

Your London education begins ahead of Breakpoint
London has been telling people to mind the gap since the late 60s.
On Solana the gap is the stretch between your server and the validator building the block. Most of the market is busy shrinking it. In our own leader slots, there isn't one.
London, 6 days

rkuSOL just broke into the top 10 on @sanctumso
Every rkuSOL is staked to the Raiku validator, the one building blocks for co-located execution on Solana. Thanks to everyone who's staked so far.

The scary part of agent trading isn't the decision. It's the retry loop when nobody knows if the first one landed.
Good read from @beincrypto.
ARE AI AGENT PAYMENTS SHOWING REAL BUSINESS DEMAND?
AI agents are being pitched as the next big players in global finance. So how much money are they actually moving?
@francescoweb3 of @castle_labs, @kstellana of @GenLayer and @degenroot of @raikucom respond to our AI Agent Payments report.
We found that 6.4M x402 transactions totaled just $119,947 over 35 days, with 90.8% worth less than one cent each.
Most of that spending went on APIs, compute and data.

We've added a new PT-rkuSOL maturity as collateral on our Raiku Market on @Kamino.
rkuSOL is built on @raikucom. Its PT-rkuSOL, maturing on January 14, 2027, can be bought on @ExponentFinance and used as collateral to borrow SOL on Kamino with a 95% LLTV.
Market available here: kamino.com/borrow?filterWallβ¦
Like a good cheese, mature
Solana just passed SGP-0002, "Double Disinflation." The floating staking rate is now coming down by design, which makes this a good moment to talk about the fixed one.
A new PT-rkuSOL market is live on @ExponentFinance and @Kamino π§΅

By the time a Jito transaction lands, half the block has already settled.
New independent data from schedulers.watch measures exactly where transactions land inside Solana blocks. Harmonic: 28th percentile. Jito: 50th. Frankendancer Jito: 77th.
Scheduler choice is block position. Block position is execution.

Absolute Cinema.
Seats are limited because block space is.

β¬700M.
That's what European banks will spend on digital asset infrastructure in 2027: thebigwhale.io/reports/benchβ¦
Two thirds of it won't touch a server. It goes to people.
Most banks don't know this yet. One of the largest in Europe just did, on a call with us this morning.
Their words: "We're clearly not there yet on investment. We need independent data like this. Otherwise everything comes from competitors or biased, paid sources."
That sentence is the entire reason @TheBigWhale_ exists.
Digital finance is still a black box. Buyers don't know who's serious. Sellers don't know where the money's actually going. Everyone's guessing with someone else's numbers.
We measure the market itself. Size, capital flows, who's building what, on both sides of the trade. Buy side and sell side.
That's not a report. That's the infrastructure this market needs to actually grow. You don't make a β¬50M decision on vibes.
Nobody else tracks this market independently. Nobody else goes this deep.
150+ companies already make decisions off our numbers. Not because we sold them a story. Because when tens of millions are on the line, data is the only argument that survives the room.
