◆ FOR TRADING BOTS
Solana infrastructure for trading bots.
A trading bot is only as fast as the infrastructure under it. Here is the read-and-send path that decides whether your bot is early or late.
◆ THE WORKLOAD
What decides the outcome.
A trading bot watches network state, decides, and submits - in a loop, continuously, against everyone else doing the same. Every millisecond between an on-chain event and your reaction is edge you either keep or give away. The bottleneck is almost never your code; it is the distance and hops between you and the cluster, and how your transactions reach the leader.
- Polling a shared RPC adds request latency and serialization overhead on every loop, and rate-limits you exactly when the network is busiest - which is when opportunities appear.
- Reacting at confirmed commitment means acting on state everyone already sees. First-seen data from the propagation layer moves your decision point earlier in the slot.
- A competitive priority fee still misses if the transaction takes a slow, forwarded path to the leader. Landing is a path problem, not just a fee problem.
◆ THE STACK
The path, mapped.
Yellowstone gRPC
One long-lived stream pushes accounts, transactions, and slots as the validator processes them - no polling loop, no rate limits, server-side filters.
Explore Yellowstone gRPC →Decoded shreds
First-seen transaction intent read from the shred layer, before a block is assembled - the earliest your bot can react.
Explore Decoded shreds →Transaction sender
Delivers straight to the current and upcoming leaders' TPUs over QUIC, with optional Jito-bundle and staked paths, so a good decision actually lands.
Explore Transaction sender →Solana RPC
Co-located HTTP + WebSocket for the reads, simulations, and history around the hot path.

What is the best Solana RPC for trading bots?
Do I need Yellowstone gRPC, or is JSON-RPC enough for a bot?
Will a higher priority fee make my bot's transactions land?
If your bot is fighting the infrastructure instead of the market, that is a fixable problem. Tell us the workload and we will map the path.
