FAQ - Solana RPC Endpoints
Q. How many tokens are consumed per method?
We are currently preparing a detailed token consumption chart. You can freely test all methods during the free trial period to get an approximate idea of your token consumption.
We also offer a 7-day free trial for our Pro plan, so please give it a try.
Q. Can I use WebSocket?
Yes, WebSocket is supported. It operates through the same endpoint, allowing you to efficiently receive real-time data updates.
Q. Why am I receiving a 401 error?
A 401 error indicates an authentication issue. Please verify the following:
- Whether your subscription has started
- If you have remaining credits
If you are out of credits, consider upgrading your plan.
Q. Why am I receiving a 429 error?
A 429 error means you have hit the rate limit. If this error occurs frequently and impacts your service, please consider upgrading your plan.
Q. Why are dedicated endpoints faster?
Shared endpoints distribute resources among multiple customers, causing increased latency as traffic grows. Server resources have physical limitations, meaning there is a finite amount of processing they can handle. When many requests arrive simultaneously, they must be processed sequentially, reducing overall response speeds.
While we optimize performance with various measures for shared endpoints, dedicated endpoints ensure exclusive resource use by you alone, entirely eliminating interference from other users. Consequently, dedicated endpoints consistently deliver stable and faster response times.
Additionally, dedicated endpoints offer communication options without TLS, such as HTTP. By skipping the TLS handshake, communication speeds improve significantly compared to HTTPS.
Q. How can I achieve the lowest possible latency?
The ideal setup for minimal latency is a dedicated RPC node combined with our Bare-Metal servers. Both share the same network, enabling private, zero-distance communication with ping latencies around 0.1ms.
Please contact us on Discord for more details.
Q. Transactions on my dedicated node have a low success rate
Transaction success rates and speed are significantly affected by a mechanism called QoS (Quality of Service). We offer QoS specifically for dedicated nodes. For more details, please refer to the pages below or inquire through our official Discord.
Q. What is the latency like?
Latency varies depending on the measurement method and your specific usage environment. Rather than focusing on exact numerical values, it's crucial to ensure that the latency meets your actual operational requirements.
We offer free trials across all our plans, enabling you to test performance directly in your real-world environment. Additionally, we provide easy-to-use tools in TypeScript and Rust for measuring latency. Feel free to utilize these tools alongside your free trial.
Q. Is this RPC (gRPC, Shreds) faster than others?
We encourage you to try our free trial and compare the performance against other services. If you find our service slower, please let us know the specific conditions and competitors you've compared it against via Discord. We will identify the cause and improve the speed further.
We continually work on improving latency based on customer feedback. If you seek the fastest possible endpoint, please share detailed information with us. Providing specific metrics and comparison conditions against competitors allows us to deliver superior performance. This feedback-driven approach has consistently enabled us to enhance our services.
Q. Which plan offers the fastest performance?
Generally, our highest-tier plan provides the fastest performance due to superior CPUs, higher memory capacities, and robust hardware configurations.
We also offer customized solutions if you require even more powerful servers, but our standard plans are designed to deliver optimal price-to-performance ratios.
We are confident in providing world-class performance at every price level. If you find a faster provider within the same price range, please let us know so we can investigate and make improvements.
Q. I'm experiencing high latency. Why?
Latency increases with distance from the endpoint. We recommend accessing from servers close to the provided endpoint. The fastest environments are available through our Bare-Metal servers and VPS services.
Q. Which is the fastest: WebSockets, gRPC, or Shreds?
Customer feedback consistently indicates the following performance order:
Shreds > gRPC > WebSockets
Please let us know if you experience different results.
Q. Latency isn't what I expected.
Performance can vary based on your chosen programming language. Generally, languages perform in the following order:
Rust > Go > TypeScript (JavaScript) > Python

We strongly recommend using Rust if you're aiming for maximum performance.
