Question 1

What is ShredStream?

Accepted Answer

ShredStream is a high-performance streaming service that delivers raw Solana “shreds” (the fragmented pieces of Solana blocks/transactions) directly from network leaders — rather than waiting for processed blocks via standard RPC or WebSocket feeds.

Question 2

Why would I need raw shred data instead of regular RPC data?

Accepted Answer

Access to raw shreds gives you earlier visibility into on-chain events — potentially saving you hundreds of milliseconds. This can be critical for applications like high-frequency trading, MEV searchers, liquidation bots, or real-time analytics tools where speed and ordering matter. It also improves resilience and performance for validator operations or RPC infrastructure, especially in under-connected regions or during network congestion.

Question 3

Who is ShredStream designed for — is it only for professional traders?

Accepted Answer

While ShredStream is particularly useful for high-frequency trading and institutions that need ultra-low latency data, other use cases include: running Solana validators with higher uptime, operating RPC infrastructure for dApps, building real-time analytics pipelines, or powering DeFi/data platforms that benefit from earliest possible on-chain data.

Question 4

What are the main benefits of using ShredStream over a standard RPC node or public feed?

Accepted Answer

Key benefits include:

• Significant latency reduction (hundreds of milliseconds saved) — critical for time-sensitive strategies.
• Increased resilience and uptime via globally distributed, redundant infrastructure — important for validators or node operators.
• Raw-level data access enables real-time analytics, early detection of on-chain events, more precise ordering and filtering than typical RPC output.

Question 5

How can I get started with ShredStream or learn more?
