why solana still fails? and wtf is @raikucom changing ? you'll be shocked lemme explain the whole game !!
before digging into raiku, i thought solana's biggest problem was congestion.
turns out congestion is just the symptom.

validators simply process whatever reaches them first.
there's no way to reserve future blockspace, no forward commitment from validators, and no distinction between a $50 meme coin swap and a $50M institutional settlement.

they only improve your chances of landing in a block.
they never guarantee an outcome.
because solana uses local fee markets, different programs compete in different auctions but every transaction is still racing without certainty.

→ spam transactions
→ hit multiple RPCs
→ retry until something lands
that makes sense for one app.
across the network, it's a disaster.
more retries → more congestion
more congestion → more failures
more failures → even more retries
