Solana ShredStream – Raw Validator Shreds for HFT
Raw validator shreds before block finalization. Absolute lowest latency on Solana. Data arrives before gRPC or RPC. For HFT, market makers, and MEV infrastructure.
ShredStream delivers raw validator shreds, the smallest data unit in Solana, directly from leader validators before blocks are finalized. This is the lowest latency data path on Solana: you see transactions before they appear in gRPC streams or RPC responses. Built for HFT systems, market makers, and MEV infrastructure where microseconds determine profit.
USE CASES
- + HFT systems — react to transactions before block finalization
- + Market makers — earliest possible price feed updates
- + MEV infrastructure — detect opportunities before competitors
- + Validator operators — improve block propagation
- + Research — analyze network propagation patterns
KEY FEATURES
- + Raw shreds before block finalization
- + 50-200ms latency advantage vs gRPC/RPC
- + Multi-region redundant paths
- + UDP-based low-overhead protocol
- + Global validator cluster connectivity
- + Compatible with Jito ShredStream format
Our ShredStream connects to multiple validator clusters globally, providing redundant data paths. You never miss shreds even during network turbulence. Receive data from Frankfurt, Amsterdam, NYC, and Tokyo simultaneously. Your application gets the fastest path automatically. Latency advantage: 50-200ms ahead of standard gRPC/RPC depending on network conditions.
ShredStream requires technical expertise to process: raw shreds must be reassembled into entries and transactions. This is advanced infrastructure for teams who have optimized everything else and need the final edge. Not sure you need it? Start with Yellowstone gRPC, which provides similar data with simpler integration.
Solana ShredStream FAQ
[NEED HELP?]
Shreds are the smallest unit of data in Solana, fragments of blocks that validators
propagate across the network before full block finalization. ShredStream delivers these raw
shreds directly from leader validators, giving you transaction data 50-200ms before it
appears in gRPC or RPC responses. For HFT systems and market makers, this latency
advantage is the difference between capturing and missing opportunities.
ShredStream provides 50-200ms latency advantage over gRPC Yellowstone, and even
more over standard RPC. The exact difference depends on network conditions and validator
proximity. While gRPC streams data after block processing, ShredStream delivers shreds
as they're produced, before the block is finalized. This is the absolute lowest latency
data path available on Solana.
ShredStream is for teams who have already optimized everything else and need
the final edge: HFT systems, professional market makers, MEV infrastructure, and
latency-critical arbitrage. If you're building trading bots, DeFi integrations, or
analytics, start with Yellowstone gRPC. It's much easier to integrate and provides
excellent latency. ShredStream requires significant technical expertise to process
raw shreds.
Processing raw shreds requires: (1) Understanding Solana's shred format and
Reed-Solomon erasure coding, (2) Ability to reassemble shreds into entries and
transactions, (3) Low-latency infrastructure to handle UDP streams, (4) Rust or C++
expertise for optimal performance. This is advanced infrastructure. Most teams
don't need it. If you're unsure, our Yellowstone gRPC service provides similar
data with standard protobuf integration.
Our ShredStream infrastructure connects to multiple validator clusters globally:
Frankfurt, Amsterdam, New York, and Tokyo. We provide
redundant data paths so you receive shreds from the fastest source automatically.
Even during network turbulence or validator downtime, redundant paths ensure you
never miss critical data.
Yes. Our ShredStream is compatible with the Jito ShredStream format, making
integration straightforward if you already have Jito-compatible infrastructure.
We support the same UDP-based protocol and shred structure. If you're migrating
from another provider or want redundant shred sources, integration is minimal.
ShredStream requires a custom setup: (1) Contact our team to discuss your
requirements and infrastructure, (2) We configure dedicated shred forwarding to
your endpoints, (3) You integrate the UDP receiver into your system, (4) We help
tune for your specific latency requirements. This is a hands-on service. We work
directly with your engineering team to ensure optimal performance.
ShredStream pricing is custom based on your requirements: data volume,
number of regions, redundancy level, and support needs. This is enterprise
infrastructure for professional trading operations. Contact us to discuss your
setup. We'll provide a quote based on your specific latency and throughput
requirements.
