Decoded Shreds
Decoded raw shreds delivered via the standard Yellowstone gRPC interface. Coming in v1.1.
// updated 2026-06-04
Status: coming soon. Decoded Shreds is on the v1.1 roadmap and is not part of v1.0.
Decoded Shreds (also known as aRPC) wraps raw Solana shreds in the standard Yellowstone gRPC protocol, so you get shred-level latency with familiar gRPC tooling.
What it is
Raw shreds give you Solana data faster than RPC or gRPC, but processing UDP packets directly is awkward. Decoded Shreds removes that friction:
- Supanode receives shreds at the network edge (Shred Caster on XDP).
- Supanode decodes them into transaction-level events.
- Supanode exposes the events through the standard Yellowstone gRPC stream.
You get the latency advantage of Raw Shreds with the integration simplicity of gRPC.
When should you use Decoded Shreds vs Raw Shreds vs gRPC?
| You need... | Use this |
|---|---|
| Lowest possible latency, raw UDP, you handle decoding | Raw Shreds |
| Lower latency than gRPC, but standard gRPC integration | Decoded Shreds |
| Standard real-time streams (most cases) | gRPC |
Available today: for shred-level latency right now, use Raw Shreds (UDP, Frankfurt). For standard streaming with rich filters, use gRPC.
Pricing
Pricing is in finalization. Will land alongside the v1.1 release.
