The Warp transactions feature is available starting from the paid plans.Warp transactions (not requests, just the transactions) consumed are billed separately. For details, see Pricing with the pay-as-you-go setting enabled.
Overview
Chainstack Solana Trader nodes with Warp transactions offer the following benefits:- All requests, except
sendTransaction
, go through the highly reliable & balanced Chainstack Solana node. ThesendTransaction
request is routed through the bloXroute Trader API. - No need to craft custom transaction instructions or change your regular trading setup if it’s using standard Solana nodes.
- All
sendTransaction
requests (i.e., all transactions) are sent to the current leader through a staked validator connection. - 40% of transactions land in the first two blocks.
- Front-running protection is not enabled, as it would reduce transaction processing speed.
- You can use priority fees to increase the chances of getting earlier placement within a block and in earlier blocks.
- Warp transactions (not requests, just the transactions) consumed are billed separately. For details, see Pricing with the pay-as-you-go setting enabled.
No need for custom setups
If you have a trading project setup that’s using regular Solana nodes, to transform your project to a high-speed one with all the benefits, all you need to do is swap the Solana node endpoint to a Chainstack node with Warp transactions enabled (available on both Trader nodes and Global nodes). Just doing that will immediately have your project have 40% of your transactions within the first two blocks and so on. All your project requests will be going through the Chainstack Solana nodes with the exception of thesendTransaction
requests that will be routed through the bloXroute infrastructure.
This means that you get the best of both worlds at zero additional effort from you:
- If you were using bloXroute alone, you’d have to craft your custom non-standard transaction that’d have to include instructions for memos and tips to successfully propagate and land through bloXroute.
- If you were using a regular Solana node setup, you’d get no benefits of bloXroute solution.
SwQoS
Transactions get the SwQoS landing rate as they are submitted through some of the biggest SwQoS Solana validators. You can read more on what SwQoS is: A Guide to Stake-weighted Quality of Service on Solana. And check the bloXroute SwQoS infrastructure: What are the benefits of sending transactions through bloXroute Solana Trader API.Speed metrics
The speed metrics are tricky, especially on an extremely fast chain like Solana. These are easily influenced by latency (e.g., how far your bot is from the actual node and routing gate location), priority fees, and so on. Note that the metrics below are done without high priority fees to provide you with a base expectation to work from. That said, here’s some of the rough metrics that you can start with:-
75% of the transactions are included in less than 5 blocks:
- 37% within 2 blocks
- 79% within 4 blocks
- 95% within 6 blocks
- 98% within 8 blocks
- 99% within 10 blocks
