Boost your Solana endpoints! Enhance performance, streamline data flow, and scale effortlessly with its speed and reliability.

The Yellowstone gRPC addon unlocks advanced gRPC capabilities on your QuickNode Solana endpoints, offering faster, more efficient data transmission and reduced latency for applications that require real-time interaction. By leveraging the gRPC protocol, this addon optimizes communication, making it ideal for developers building high-demand applications like dApps and DeFi platforms.

With Yellowstone gRPC, you can handle large volumes of data with improved performance, ensuring faster response times and streamlined data flow. This addon provides the scalability needed to grow your Solana projects seamlessly, all while maintaining optimal speed and efficiency. It’s designed to help you unlock more from your Solana endpoints, enabling smoother, faster data exchanges for your most critical use cases.

Whether you’re scaling existing applications or building new ones, the Yellowstone gRPC add-on equips your QuickNode Solana endpoints with the tools needed to enhance overall performance and manage increasing demands with ease.

Each response uses 10 API Credits

The requests (RPS) you make to the gRPC methods supported by this add-on are rate limited according to your overall QuickNode subscription (ex: 125 RPS for the Growth plan). Responses are not rate limited for paid plans, however free plans are subject to a daily limit of 100K responses. We recommend that you subscribe to a QuickNode plan which will support your anticipated request RPS. For most users, this would be the Growth plan or higher.

Access

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

Endpoint and Token Configuration

Yellowstone 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
