Deep dives, guides and case studies from the team running supanode infrastructure. No fluff — just what actually works on Solana & beyond.
Solana ShredStream: Raw Shreds, Decoded Shreds, and Yellowstone gRPC
Solana ShredStream delivers raw shreds over UDP before RPC or gRPC, but the early signal only matters if decoding and recovery costs are justified.
Hyperliquid WebSocket API: Subscriptions, Limits, and Production Setup
A practical breakdown of Hyperliquid WebSocket subscriptions, public endpoint limits, reconnect behavior, recovery patterns, and production infrastructure choices.
Yellowstone gRPC on Solana: Geyser Streaming Guide
Learn how Yellowstone gRPC works on Solana, how it relates to Geyser, RPC, and WebSockets, and when production backends should use streaming instead of polling.
Managed RPC vs Self-Hosted Solana RPC: A Decision Framework for Production Teams
Compare managed, dedicated, self-hosted, and hybrid Solana RPC models by cost, operations, performance, data access, security, and workload fit.
Low-Latency Solana RPC: How to Benchmark Real Performance Before Choosing a Provider
Learn how to benchmark low-latency Solana RPC performance using real workload regions, method mix, concurrency, freshness, stream behavior, and transaction confirmation data.
Solana Fees: Transaction Cost, Priority Fees, and Compute Units
