FAQ - Direct Shreds
Q. I've only used WebSocket or Geyser gRPC (YellowStone) before. Do you have samples?
Yes. You can quickly begin testing Shreds connections and application development using SLV.
Please refer to the following guide for details:
Q. Can I register two IP addresses?
You can use one endpoint per subscription. If you wish to use two IP addresses, you must subscribe to two separate subscriptions.
Q. Can I use a specific endpoint?
To maintain a low-latency environment, our system automatically selects the closest available node. If you wish to use a specific endpoint, we recommend renting a server located nearest to that endpoint.
Q. Are dedicated Shreds nodes faster?
Yes. Dedicated Shreds nodes are significantly faster than shared endpoints, as they allow full customization for your specific use case, maximizing machine performance.
Q. I want the best possible environment.
For the optimal setup, we recommend combining a dedicated Shreds node with our Bare-Metal servers. Sharing the same network, this setup achieves private, zero-distance communication with latencies around 0.1ms ping.
Please contact us on Discord for more details.
Q. What is the latency like?
Latency greatly depends on measurement methods and your environment. Instead of relying solely on specific figures, we recommend using our free trial to confirm that your actual requirements are met.
Q. Is this RPC (gRPC, Shreds) faster than others?
Please test and compare during our free trial period. If you find our service slower, share the specific conditions via Discord. We will investigate and improve our service accordingly.
Q. I'm experiencing high latency. Why?
Latency significantly increases with distance from the endpoint. We recommend accessing from a server located closer to the endpoint provided. The fastest environments are available via our Bare-Metal servers and VPS services.
Q. Which is the fastest: WebSockets, gRPC, or Shreds?
Based on customer feedback, the performance order is:
Shreds > gRPC > WebSockets
If your experience differs, please inform us.
Q. Latency isn't what I expected.
Performance varies significantly depending on the programming language used. Generally, the performance order is:
Rust > Go > TypeScript (JavaScript) > Python
For detailed comparisons, please see:
We strongly recommend Rust for the highest performance.
