Why gRPC for Solana?
gRPC gives developers access to streamed, binary-encoded Solana data with ultra-low latency—perfect for apps that need to subscribe to events and react in real time. Compared to polling traditional REST endpoints, gRPC is faster, more efficient, and built for scale.
QuickNode’s gRPC products are powered by Shredstream leader nodes, giving users a direct feed from Solana’s internal state as it evolves—no delay, no guesswork.
