Robin Nordnes is the Founder and CEO of Raiku, the upgrade to Solana enabling instant, predictable, and scalable transactions. As an engineer and entrepreneur with over a decade of experience in fintech and distributed systems, Robin has built products from early Ethereum projects to ventures tackling global financial access.
