Direct Shreds - Quickstart | ERPC

Install SLV

bash
curl -fsSL https://storage.slv.dev/slv/install | sh

$ slv b init

With a single command, slv b init, you can instantly scaffold a development environment for Solana bots using high-performance stream-based data.

bash
slv b init

Use shreds-ts if you prefer a TypeScript-based Shreds bot
Use shreds-rust for a Rust-based bot leveraging Shreds

Shreds Client Example – TypeScript

Rename the .env.sample file to .env.
Update the values in the .env file with your actual endpoint:

env
SHREDS_ENDPOINT=https://shreds-ams.erpc.global
SOLANA_RPC_ENDPOINT="https://edge.erpc.global?api-key=YOUR_API_KEY"

⚠️ Important Note: This endpoint is provided as an example and cannot be used directly. Obtain and set your actual endpoint accordingly.

Install dependencies and run the script:

bash
pnpm i
pnpm dev

Shreds Client Example – Rust

Rename .env.sample to .env
Edit .env with your actual Shreds endpoint:

env
SHREDS_ENDPOINT=https://shreds-ams.erpc.global
SOLANA_RPC_ENDPOINT="https://edge.erpc.global?api-key=YOUR_API_KEY"

Please note:

This endpoint is a sample and cannot be used as is. Please obtain and configure the appropriate endpoint for your environment.

Build and run the client:

bash
RUST_LOG=info cargo run

✅ 1-Day Free Trial Available

Shreds endpoints can be tested for free for 1-Day via the official Validators DAO Discord server.

Solana Stream SDK

The client implementation included in the Shreds starter code downloaded via the slv b init command
is powered by the open-source Solana Stream SDK.

Supporting both Rust and TypeScript, the SDK enables efficient handling of Solana’s direct communication layer —
including Shreds subscription, packet parsing, and transaction extraction.

With this SDK, you can start developing with Shreds streams right away.
The starter code generated by slv b init serves as a practical template to build upon for your own applications.
