Seamless operations with high uptime and reliability on Solana
As developers and Web3 pioneers, you understand the unmatched importance of high uptime—every moment your application or platform stalls, you risk losing valuable progress and, even more crucially, user trust. We understand these stakes at Chainstack, and our commitment is reflected in our stringently maintained 99.99% uptime guarantee.
This nearly perfect uptime brings an essential layer of confidence and reliability to your operations. Whether you’re coding your novel DeFi protocol, launching your NFT project, or maintaining your company’s smart contracts, our Solana infrastructure ensures your operations continue without any disruption. What’s more, our dynamic and transparent real-time status report keeps you informed about system health at all times.
Chainstack’s relentless focus on uptime and reliability underscores our goal of creating an infrastructure framework that works for you as hard as you do. With this commitment in hand, you can shift your attention to realize your blockchain goals and bring innovation to a swiftly changing digital world.
Introducing Archive node support for Solana historical data
A cornerstone of successful project development and decision-making is the ability to understand and analyze previous data patterns. Knowing this, we have incorporated support for historical data into our platform, now readily accessible to all Chainstack global elastic nodes users.
Using this feature, you can explore key metrics across time, understand past blockchain behaviors, and draw informed conclusions that affect your project’s future positively. The use cases are ample: tracking the activity status of your project’s wallets, making informed trading decisions based on transaction history, or predicting future trends—all are now within your reach.
The accessibility of this historical data entrusts you with the power to make data-driven decisions and foster your project’s growth. We’re not just providing you with information; we’re giving you the knowledge to shape your future in Web3.
Exploring the Trader nodes and bloXroute integration on Solana
In our mission to enhance your capabilities and give you an edge in the competitive blockchain landscape, we have integrated our new Trader nodes services with bloXroute. This powerful combination promises a significant speed boost, improving your trading average by an impressive 382ms.
But what does this mean for you as a developer in the Web3 world? It translates to noticeably faster transactions, reducing the window of price fluctuations during a transaction’s execution time. To put it simply, when you execute a trade, you’re getting the best price available, providing you with the competitive edge you need in this fast-paced digital economy.
The integration also introduces our Marinade mTransaction client, offering superior latency and priority service through stake-weighted QoS (Quality of Service)—ensuring your transactions are faster and more reliable than ever.
Transactions submitted through our Solana Trader API utilize the bloXroute Solana BDN (Blockchain Distribution Network), which optimizes transaction speed by reducing latency in shred propagation and routing transactions through the leader via BDN. This setup gives you a 30-50ms reaction time advantage and a 5-30ms speed boost in transaction routing.
So, whether you’re a DeFi hustler, flash loan arbitrager, or DApp developer, our improved Trader node capabilities, powered by Marinade’s staked node priority and bloXroute’s optimized network, transform your Solana experience. Gain the critical edge needed to succeed in the fast-paced and highly competitive world of Web3.
Stay informed with real-time updates using blockSubscribe
In a world where real-time data is the key to informed decisions and timely actions, we’re proud to introduce support for the blockSubscribe method, one of Solana’s most powerful tools.
As Web3 developers, we know that keeping your finger on the pulse of the blockchain’s heart is vital to the success and efficiency of your programs. With the blockSubscribe method, you can now subscribe to real-time block updates, ensuring you are always in sync with the latest changes in the blockchain’s state, allowing you to adapt quickly and make necessary adjustments to your applications.
Understanding the importance of blockSubscribe, we have put extra effort into ensuring it is extremely resilient and stable in production environments. This commitment ensures that your applications stay reliable even in the most demanding conditions.
This new method promises to add another layer of responsiveness to your apps, making them more efficient and user-friendly. Whether you’re monitoring real-time market trends for your DeFi project, tracking the status of your transactions, or ensuring the timely execution of smart contracts, the blockSubscribe method is your trusted ally.
