Use Chainstack when your Solana workload depends on low-latency reads, real-time streams, faster transaction propagation, and infrastructure you can scale into dedicated capacity.
Yellowstone gRPC Geyser pluginStream live Solana data directly from validator memory for indexing, trading, dashboards, analytics, and monitoring.
Jito ShredStream enabled by defaultImprove Solana stream consistency, tail latency, and reliability without extra configuration.
Solana Trader Nodes with Warp transactionsSend transactions through bloXroute's relay network with staked connection access.
Unlimited Node for high-volume workloadsRun heavier Solana workloads without method-weight billing becoming the main constraint.
Positive customer feedback from teams that compared Chainstack with Helius or moved Solana workloads after cost, latency, or streaming constraints.
Using Chainstack RPC plus Geyser allowed us to index 5 DEXes in under 100 ms, matching terminal speed. So far, it has been better than Helius, and we have not hit any rate limits.Solana indexing customer
I was previously a Helius customer. After their new pricing for WebSocket streams, I switched to Chainstack's Growth plan with the Geyser add-on.Solana streaming customer
Chainstack is perfect for what I need at a great price. It has enabled me to potentially compete with traders and organizations with much more capital.Solana trading customer
Chainstack node performance was reliable, fast, and excellent. During the JUP launch, our normal transaction traffic executed at 33 ms, while Triton and Helius RPCs were at 600 ms to 1,200 ms.Solana launch customer

Start with Solana RPC, add Yellowstone gRPC or Warp transactions, and expand to Dedicated Nodes when your workload needs more control.
Chainstack provides Solana RPC, Yellowstone gRPC, Warp transactions, Unlimited Node, Dedicated Nodes, and support for 70+ chains. Helius is focused on Solana-specific infrastructure and APIs.
Yes. You can start with Solana RPC on the free plan, then add higher limits, real-time streaming, transaction routing, or dedicated infrastructure as your workload grows.
Yes. Chainstack supports the Yellowstone gRPC Geyser plugin for real-time Solana data streams, including transactions, account updates, blocks, and slot changes.
Warp transactions help Solana teams send transactions through optimized routing paths, which is useful for trading bots, DeFi apps, and latency-sensitive workloads.
Chainstack gives you Solana infrastructure now, plus a path to Dedicated Nodes, Unlimited Node, and 70+ supported chains if your product expands beyond Solana later.
