GetBlock, a Tier 1 RPC node provider, announces the launch of its Solana Pro RPC node solution. Designed to deliver a groundbreaking level of performance and composability, Solana Pro outperforms traditional endpoints with its advanced capabilities.
GetBlock launches Solana Pro, the ultimate SOL RPC API solution
Solana Pro, a unique RPC node package for streamlined and ultra-fast access to Solana, debuts on GetBlock Web3 infrastructure platform. With Solana Pro, dApps can achieve up to 2x faster interactions with Solana while benefiting from an industry-leading suite of add-ons, indexes, and APIs.
Instead of regular 300 requests per second (RPS), Solana Pro works at 500+ RPS speed while the cluster of 4+ nodes accomplish 1000+ RPS. Also, it is equipped with a feature-rich stack of plugins including Jito, Yellowstone Geyser gRPC, ORE mining clients, and so on.
Also, Solana Pro allows GetBlock customers to directly retrieve data streams from Raydium and Jupiter, two dominant Solana’s DeFis.
GetBlock CEO Arseniy Voitenko is sure that new solution will solve a number of problems Solana devs were facing in recent months:
First, this is a huge win for GetBlock. Finally, we've successfully overcome the hurdles associated with Solana’s infrastructure. We tried a whole ton of the configurations to be sure that our solution is the most resource-effective one. Solana Pro benefits from all the hard-won lessons GetBlock gained deploying and maintaining Solana full nodes. Speaking about self-hosted nodes, by no means is Solana node management friendly. As such, feel free to try our private RPC node APIs. And last but not least - brace yourself for the archive Solana Pro release since it is exactly what our team is laser-focused on right now.
The Solana Pro package can be set up and activated via the GetBlock account in a couple of clicks. Users are welcome to compose perfect RPC solutions for their applications on Solana in a modular Lego-like manner.
GetBlock’s Solana Pro: What’s under the hood?
Besides industry-leading 500+ RPS throughput and 99,9% uptime, Solana Pro comes with a wide range of extra solutions for Solana nodes access:
- Yellowstone Geyser gRPC plugin, a lightweight data access solution;
- Metaplex Digital Asset Standard (DAS) API for eased management of Solana-based tokens including coins and NFTs.
- Unique API/SDK accessible: Jito fork of Solana’s validator for maximum MEV optimization, ORE software for mining the only Proof-of-Work crypto in SOL ecosystem;
Besides that, the new package offers streamlined access to Raydium and Jupiter APIs. With these tools, dApps can automatically retrieve data from largest Solana’s DeFis with ultra-low latency.
GetBlock’s Solana Pro RPC is our response to the feedback from our customers. The demand for extremely powerful Solana access is rapidly becoming a reality.
Maximum accessibility, unmatched customization: Getting started with Solana Pro
To start using Solana Pro, GetBlock users can simply sign in to their accounts and navigate to the Dedicated Nodes dashboard. From there, follow these steps:
- Select Solana Pro Mainnet as the desired network.
- Configure your node by choosing:
- Node class (full node; archive Solana Pro is coming soon).
- Indexes configurations (e.g., SPL Token Mint, SPL Token Owner).
- API interfaces (e.g., JSON RPC, WebSockets).
- Add-ons (e.g., Yellowstone Geyser gRPC, DAS API).
- Proceed to the Checkout screen to review the node details and confirm the configuration.
- Complete the setup via the payments module.
Deployment of a Solana Pro dedicated node solution takes approximately 10 days, depending on the specific configurations requested. Long-term plans also come with exclusive discounts, making Solana Pro an affordable choice for scalable blockchain projects.
GetBlock is proud to offer Solana Pro RPC nodes to its customers. This launch reaffirms our dedication to building the most powerful, ready-made Web3 infrastructure tools for the next generation of dApps.
Whether you're a DeFi protocol, an NFT marketplace, or any other Solana-based application, Solana Pro ensures you have the performance, flexibility, and reliability to succeed in the competitive blockchain ecosystem.
