The fastest path to Solana shreds, streamed in real time

Subscribe to raw and deserialized shred streams the moment they leave the validator — milliseconds before the block lands. Built for traders, searchers, and infra teams who can't afford to wait for confirmation.

Why Shred Streams

Block data before the block exists

Shreds are the fragments validators gossip as they build a block. Tap them directly and you see transactions the instant they're produced — not seconds later through a confirmed RPC call.

Sub-30ms latency

Ingest nodes peered directly with leader validators. You receive shreds on the same path as the network — no RPC round-trips, no polling.

Raw or deserialized

Consume the raw shred payload yourself, or let us reassemble and deserialize entries into ready-to-use transactions and account writes.

Verified

Every shred is signature-checked against the validator that produced it, so you act on authentic data you can trust — no rebuilding the plumbing.

How we stack up

Measured against the other shred providers

Independent head-to-head benchmark across 1.38M unique shreds on mainnet. We don't just deliver — we deliver first, consistently, and without the duplicate noise.

How it works

From validator gossip to your code

Four hops, all of them ours, none of them slow.

01

Validator produces

Leader validators split blocks into shreds and gossip them across the cluster.

02

We ingest at the edge

Peered ingest nodes capture shreds the moment they hit the gossip network.

03

Verify & assemble

Signatures checked, duplicates dropped, entries optionally deserialized.

04

Stream to you

Delivered over gRPC or WebSocket from your nearest region in milliseconds.

Built for

Where milliseconds become money

Trading

Pre-confirmation signals

See swaps, liquidations and large transfers as they're produced — react before the block confirms and the edge is gone.

MEV

Searcher pipelines

Feed deserialized entries straight into your backrun and arbitrage engines with the lowest possible information delay.

Infrastructure

Real-time indexing

Power live dashboards, mempool views and analytics that update at network speed, not block-confirmation speed.

Validators

Redundant block data

Cross-check your own block production and fill gaps from an independent, verified shred source.

RPC providers

Faster downstream feeds

Layer shred streams under your product to offer customers data that arrives ahead of standard RPC.

Risk & monitoring

Live threat detection

Spot suspicious flows and protocol events the moment they appear in the gossip layer.
