Go is a statically-typed, compiled language known for its simplicity, efficiency, and strong concurrency support. Follow the official installation guide to install Go. Verify the installation:

Authentication for Go Requests

To securely access Solana gRPC (Yellowstone-compatible Geyser gRPC), authentication is required. Quicknode endpoints consist of two components: endpoint name 그리고 토큰. You must use these components to configure a gRPC client with authentication credentials.

There are two authentication methods:

  1. Basic Authentication
  2. x-token Authentication

This document provides implementation details for both methods.


Basic Authentication

getClientWithBasicAuth function demonstrates how to handle authentication using Basic Authentication. It encodes the credentials in base64 and adds them to the authorization 헤더.

Implementation

import (
"context"
"crypto/tls"
"encoding/base64"
"fmt"
"log"

"google.golang.org/grpc"
"google.golang.org/grpc/credentials"
)

func getClientWithBasicAuth(endpoint, token string) (*grpc.ClientConn, error) {
target := endpoint + ".solana-mainnet.quiknode.pro:10000"
conn, err := grpc.Dial(target,
grpc.WithTransportCredentials(credentials.NewTLS(&tls.Config{})),
grpc.WithPerRPCCredentials(basicAuth{
username: endpoint,
password: token,
}),
)
if err != nil {
return nil, fmt.Errorf("unable to dial endpoint: %w", err)
}
return conn, nil
}

type basicAuth struct {
username string
password string
}

func (b basicAuth) GetRequestMetadata(ctx context.Context, in ...string) (map[string]string, error) {
auth := b.username + ":" + b.password
encoded := base64.StdEncoding.EncodeToString([]byte(auth))
return map[string]string{"authorization": "Basic " + encoded}, nil
}

func (basicAuth) RequireTransportSecurity() bool {
return true
}

사용법

conn, err := getClientWithBasicAuth("ENDPOINT_NAME", "TOKEN")
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("failed to connect: %v", err)
}
defer conn.Close()

x-token Authentication

getClientWithXToken function demonstrates how to authenticate using an x-token. This method attaches the token to the x-token header of each request.

Implementation

import (
"context"
"crypto/tls"
"fmt"
"log"

"google.golang.org/grpc"
"google.golang.org/grpc/credentials"
)

func getClientWithXToken(endpoint, token string) (*grpc.ClientConn, error) {
target := endpoint + ".solana-mainnet.quiknode.pro:10000"
conn, err := grpc.Dial(target,
grpc.WithTransportCredentials(credentials.NewTLS(&tls.Config{})),
grpc.WithPerRPCCredentials(xTokenAuth{
token: token,
}),
)
if err != nil {
return nil, fmt.Errorf("unable to dial endpoint: %w", err)
}
return conn, nil
}

type xTokenAuth struct {
token string
}

func (x xTokenAuth) GetRequestMetadata(ctx context.Context, uri ...string) (map[string]string, error) {
return map[string]string{"x-token": x.token}, nil
}

func (xTokenAuth) RequireTransportSecurity() bool {
return true
}

사용법

conn, err := getClientWithXToken("ENDPOINT_NAME", "TOKEN")
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("failed to connect: %v", err)
}
defer conn.Close()


참고:

To learn how to split your 솔라나 gRPC-enabled URL into 엔드포인트 그리고 토큰, refer to this section - Endpoint and Token Configuration

The below section provides a step-by-step process to set up a Go environment for making Solana gRPC requests. The instructions include setting up Go, configuring dependencies, and implementing authentication mechanisms.

Initiating the Go Project for Solana gRPC

Step 1: Create a New Project Directory

Create a dedicated directory for your Solana gRPC project and navigate into it:

mkdir yellowstone-grpc
cd yellowstone-grpc

Step 2: Initialize a Go Module

Initialize a new Go module for your project:

go mod init yellowstone-grpc # directory name

Step 3: Install Required Dependencies

Install the necessary Go dependencies for gRPC and Protocol Buffers:

go get google.golang.org/grpc
go get google.golang.org/protobuf

Step 4: Organize Your Project Directory

First, create a proto folder to store the .pb.go files:

mkdir proto

You can get the pre-generated files from Yellowstone gRPC official Github Repo. Download all the three files and place the following files into the proto directory:

< br />

  • geyser_pb.go
  • geyser_grpc.pb.go
  • solana_storage_pb.go

The project structure might look like this:

yellowstone-grpc/
├── go.mod
├── go.sum
├── proto/
│ ├── geyser_pb.go
│ ├── geyser_grpc.pb.go
│ ├── solana_storage_pb.go

Step 5: Create a Main Go File

Set up a main Go file for implementing client or server logic:

touch main.go

You can copy and paste the following sample code into your main.go file to get started. The example demonstrates how to interact with a gRPC service to fetch the latest blockhash information.

package main

import (
"context"
"crypto/tls"
"fmt"
"log"
"time"
// "encoding/json"
// "github.com/mr-tron/base58"

pb "yellowstone-grpc/proto" // proto directory path

"google.golang.org/grpc"
"google.golang.org/grpc/credentials"
"google.golang.org/grpc/encoding/gzip"
"google.golang.org/grpc/keepalive"
)

var (
endpoint = "example-guide-demo.solana-mainnet.quiknode.pro:10000"
token = "123456789abcdefghijklmnopquerst"
)

var kacp = keepalive.ClientParameters{
Time: 10 * time.Second,
Timeout: time.Second,
PermitWithoutStream: true,
}

// tokenAuth implements the credentials.PerRPCCredentials interface
type tokenAuth struct {
token string
}

func (t tokenAuth) GetRequestMetadata(ctx context.Context, in ...string) (map[string]string, error) {
return map[string]string{"x-token": t.token}, nil
}

func (tokenAuth) RequireTransportSecurity() bool {
return true
}

func main() {
opts := []grpc.DialOption{
grpc.WithTransportCredentials(credentials.NewTLS(&tls.Config{})),
grpc.WithKeepaliveParams(kacp),
grpc.WithDefaultCallOptions(grpc.MaxCallRecvMsgSize(1024*1024*1024), grpc.UseCompressor(gzip.Name)),
grpc.WithPerRPCCredentials(tokenAuth{token: token}),
}

conn, err := grpc.Dial(endpoint, opts...)
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("Failed to connect: %v", err)
}
defer conn.Close()

client := pb.NewGeyserClient(conn)

ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), 10*time.Second)
defer cancel()

latestBlockHash, err := client.GetLatestBlockhash(ctx, &pb.GetLatestBlockhashRequest{})
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("Failed to get latest blockhash: %v", err)
}

fmt.Printf("Latest Blockhash Information: ")
fmt.Printf(" Blockhash: %+v", latestBlockHash)
}

Step 6: Run Your Code

Before running your code, clean up and ensure all dependencies are correctly resolved:

go mod tidy

Build and run the project using:

main.go를 실행하세요
