Solana Shreds, RabbitStream, Yellowstone gRPC – What Each One Actually Delivers
A developer's guide to Solana's data pipeline - from raw shreds to RabbitStream's partial transactions to Yellowstone gRPC's full meta.

RabbitStream now supports ALT (Address Lookup Table) resolution, Same coverage as yellowstone gRPC
The last major blind spot in RabbitStream’s transaction coverage is gone. ALT resolution now runs at the shred layer, closing a gap of up to 3x on programs like pumpAmm, with zero added latency. 99%+ similar coverage as Yellowstone gRPC.…
Solana getProgramAccounts Benchmark: Shyft’s Accelerated gPA vs. Standard Node
A closer look at gPA’s two-phase scan architecture, benchmarked against a standard Solana RPC node. getProgramAccounts is one of the most frequently called — and least understood — bottlenecks in Solana application development. On a standard RPC node, it performs…
Accelerated getProgramAccounts: Shyft’s Fix for Solana’s Most Expensive RPC Call
A deep dive into why standard RPC nodes struggle with getProgramAccounts, and how a dedicated accounts engine built on RocksDB solves it at the infrastructure level. TL;DR Standard Solana RPC nodes can find accounts by owner – but have no…
Agave v4.0 – What Solana Devs Actually Need to Know
Agave v4.0 is out and it’s not a quiet release. UDP is dead, legacy blockstore formats are gone, and a few RPC behaviours changed in ways that will silently break your code if you’re not paying attention. TL;DR — v4.0…
RabbitStream vs. Jito ShredStream on Solana: A Multi-Region Benchmark
We ran 40,000+ transactions across Frankfurt and New York. Here’s what the data says. TL;DR Multiple benchmark runs. Two regions. Same tool (geyserbench v1.2.2). 10,000+ transactions each. RabbitStream arrived first in both regions tested. Region RabbitStream Win Rate Jito Win…
How RabbitStream differs from Solana Yellowstone gRPC
Understanding RabbitStream, Solana Shreds and difference with Yellowstone gRPC.
Fastest Solana Transaction Detection: Shyft RabbitStream
Stream Solana transactions directly from shreds — before execution, with Yellowstone-style gRPC filtering.
How to Reconnect and Replay Slots with Solana Yellowstone gRPC
In this article you will learn how to implement a reconnect logic for your Solana gRPC streams with replay functionality to make sure you don’t miss any slots.
