Standard RPC follows a Request-Response model over HTTPS, which introduces overhead. ShredStream uses a push-based model via UDP, delivering block data (shreds) directly from our optimized Turbine nodes to your infrastructure the moment they are generated. This significantly reduces latency for MEV bots and high-frequency traders.

ShredStream prioritizes speed above all else. Unlike TCP, UDP eliminates the handshake and retransmission delays, allowing for near-instant data propagation. By configuring your target IP and UDP port in our console, you enable our nodes to 'stream' data packets directly to your listening service.

Yes. Since ShredStream is a data broadcast service rather than a query-based API, there is no 'request' limit in the traditional sense. Once your connection is established, you receive a continuous, unrestricted flow of shreds. We only require registration to manage bandwidth and maintain service quality for all users.

We recommend selecting a region closest to where your trading engine or validator is hosted. Currently, our optimized Turbine nodes are deployed in key global financial hubs. Choosing a matching region ensures that data travels the shortest physical distance, giving you a competitive edge in transaction speed.

By using a push-based UDP stream instead of a traditional pull-based RPC, you bypass the latency of HTTPS handshakes. You receive block data the millisecond it is produced by the Solana leader, giving you a crucial time advantage for transaction execution and liquidations on Solana.
