Light crosses a kilometer of empty space in about 3.3 microseconds.
If you send it through glass fiber, that same kilometer takes about 4.9. That gap is why trading firms have long paid to park their servers in the same building as an exchange.
Solana has no such building, because the venue is whichever validator happens to be building the block.
raiku's answer to that problem is Blackline, which runs a trading firm's own strategy on the same hardware as Raiku's validator while it builds the block.
This thread explains what Blackline actually is. π§΅
