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. Is a dedicated node faster?
Yes, dedicated nodes are consistently faster. Unlike shared endpoints, dedicated nodes have no competing users, allowing full optimization for your specific use case and maximizing machine performance.
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 depends significantly on measurement methods and your environment. Rather than relying on specific numbers, test our endpoints using the free trial to ensure your requirements are met in your actual environment.
Q. Is this RPC (gRPC, Shreds) faster than others?
Use our free trial to compare directly with other services. If our service is slower, please share specific conditions via Discord, and we'll promptly investigate and improve our performance.
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.
