Overview

Solana gRPC (Yellowstone-compatible Geyser gRPC) is a high-performance Solana Geyser plugin that enables real-time blockchain data streaming through gRPC interfaces. It serves as a powerful tool for developers who need to:

• Stream blockchain data in real-time
• Monitor on-chain activities (token mints, program interactions, state changes)
• Query account states efficiently
• Track transactions with minimal latency

Solana gRPC extends Solana's Geyser infrastructure by supporting both gRPC and JSON-RPC protocols, offering enterprise-grade reliability with granular control.

Access

Solana gRPC is included with Scale and Business plans. On Build and Accelerate plans, it remains available via the Solana gRPC add-on.

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

Here is a sample for using this endpoint to connect with TypeScript:

import { Client } from '@rpcpool/yellowstone-grpc';
// For HTTP Provider URL: https://example-guide-demo.solana-mainnet.quiknode.pro/123456789/
const ENDPOINT = 'https://example-guide-demo.solana-mainnet.quiknode.pro:10000';
const TOKEN = '123456789';
const client = new Client(ENDPOINT, TOKEN, {});

zstd Compression

Solana gRPC supports zstd compression for faster gRPC requests. For information on how to enable zstd compression, refer to the zstd Compression documentation.
