Decoded shreds
Binary shreds decoded into Yellowstone-shaped transaction and entry updates before the block is assembled. Same gRPC client you already use, one leader slot earlier than a block subscription.
- One leader slot before the block
- Yellowstone-shaped updates
- Works with your existing gRPC client
- No deserialiser to maintain

Decoding is the hard part
Taking raw shreds means writing and maintaining a deserialiser for a format that changes with the validator. We do that work and hand you updates in a shape your existing Yellowstone consumer already understands.
Drop-in for existing consumers
The stream is shaped like Yellowstone transaction and entry updates, so an existing gRPC client points at a new endpoint instead of being rewritten. Your decode path, your filters and your types stay as they are.
What the latency buys you
<100µs p50 at 240k msg/s. Against a block subscription the gain is a full leader slot, which is the window that matters for arbitrage and liquidation paths, assuming your consumer is close enough to spend it. For that we recommend Dedicated Nodes.
Frequently asked
What are decoded shreds?
Shreds are the fragments a Solana leader broadcasts before a block is assembled. Decoded shreds are those fragments already deserialised into transaction and entry updates, so you consume structured data instead of writing your own parser.
How much earlier is this than a block subscription?
One leader slot. You see the transactions while the block is still being assembled rather than after it is complete.
Do I need a new client library?
No. Updates are Yellowstone-shaped, so an existing Yellowstone gRPC client works against the endpoint.
How is this different from raw ShredStream?
Raw shred forwarding sends you the wire fragments to deserialise yourself and is the lower-level option. Decoded shreds trade that control for structured updates you can consume immediately.
