Rakurai Client Becomes Figment’s New Engine for Faster, More Efficient Solana Validation - Crypto Economy

Figment migrated its main Solana validator to the Rakurai client, as announced by David Liang, protocol specialist, and Nick Yushkevich, Solana product manager at the company. Rakurai is a validator client designed to optimize block scheduling, minimize latency, and maximize performance without resorting to block production time manipulation.

The results from the first two epochs following the migration —934 and 935— show considerable progress The validator’s gross compound reward rate rose from 6.85% to 7.17%, an improvement of 32 basis points. During that same period, Figment climbed from eighth to first place among the eleven institutional validators tracked by Trillium, while nine of its ten competitors recorded stable or declining yields.

At the operational level, the migration produced an increase of approximately 49% in non-vote transactions per block, a rise of 54% in validator rewards, and Jito MEV tip capture five times higher than previous figures.

Block production time remained at 400 milliseconds or less, with no artificial delays. The company projects that its validator will reach a rate above 7.25% as the moving average converges with the top-performing Rakurai operators on the network.
