Solana Yellowstone gRPC

Is Solana Yellowstone gRPC a secure platform?

Yellowstone employs enterprise-grade security practices like token-based authentication and secure gRPC over dedicated ports for protecting data transfer. The plugin operates via standard infrastructure providers like GetBlock, Triton One, and Chainstack, who implement rigorous security controls and endpoint permission rules. Furthermore, Yellowstone supports encrypted connections and follows Solana's security protocols for validators, ensuring that all blockchain data streaming is as secure as the underlying Solana stack.

How to use Solana Yellowstone gRPC?

To use Yellowstone, developers need to enable the Yellowstone Geyser gRPC add-on on their chosen infrastructure provider's Solana endpoint and establish the gRPC connection using the endpoint URL and authentication token supplied. The setup involves installing the appropriate gRPC client library for your language (TypeScript, Rust, Go, Python) and binding to the particular port 10000 with authentic authentication details. Soon after installation, developers are able to subscribe to specific blockchain events, set up filters for selective data monitoring, and inject real-time data processing logic into Web3 applications.
