Solana gRPC streams accounts, transactions, slots, and blocks from the Geyser plugin on your Quicknode Solana endpoint. Yellowstone-compatible. A persistent gRPC connection delivers lower latency and less overhead than WebSocket subscriptions for high-volume Solana workloads.

Used by indexers, real-time analytics platforms, MEV bots, and high-frequency trading systems on Solana. Teams who need tip-fresh data without operating their own validator infrastructure.

Visit our Solana gRPC Documentation for more information.

Access

To access Solana gRPC you will use your Quicknode Solana endpoint on port 10000 as demonstrated below.

Endpoint and Token Configuration

Solana gRPC operates on port 10000. This is a dedicated secure port for gRPC communication and is separate from the standard Solana RPC endpoint. When connecting to the service the port must be specified in the URL:

• Endpoint: The name of your gRPC-enabled endpoint (by default, this is three randomly generated words) followed by .solana-mainnet.quiknode.pro and the port number 10000 (e.g., https://example-guide-demo.solana-mainnet.quiknode.pro:10000)
• Token: The alphanumeric string that follows the endpoint name in the URL (additional tokens can be generated from the Quicknode Dashboard) Endpoint Security tab.

Given the following example HTTP Provider URL: https://example-guide-demo.solana-mainnet.quiknode.pro/123456789/, your authentication your credentials would be:

• Endpoint: https://example-guide-demo.solana-mainnet.quiknode.pro:10000
• Token: 123456789
