QuickNode provides scalable RPC endpoints for Solana. Build and deploy dApps efficiently with reliable access to fast transaction processing.
About QuickNode
QuickNode is a Solana infrastructure platform that provides fast, reliable RPC endpoints and developer tooling so you can read data from Solana and send transactions at scale. It’s built for anyone who needs dependable access to Solana—trading bot builders, analytics dashboards, portfolio apps, wallets, and DeFi teams. With global routing and both HTTPS and WebSocket access, QuickNode helps reduce latency and dropped requests when markets are busy.
On Solana, QuickNode includes ready-to-use JSON-RPC methods, stable WebSocket subscriptions, and opt-in add-ons such as Jito bundles (via “Lil’ JIT”), Metaplex DAS for NFT data, a Priority Fee API, and Jupiter V6 swap routing. Networks supported are devnet, testnet, and mainnet over both WSS and HTTPS, so you can prototype and ship without changing providers. Usage is measured in API Credits with clear rules for HTTP and WebSocket billing.
If you need streaming or automation, QuickNode “Streams” and “QuickAlerts” let you push on-chain events to webhooks (e.g., Discord, Slack, custom URLs) across supported networks, including Solana—useful for liquidation monitors, wallet activity alerts, or NFT mint watchers.
What makes QuickNode special?
QuickNode combines low-latency global infrastructure with chain-specific add-ons you can toggle on when you need them—like Jito bundles for transaction ordering, Metaplex DAS for NFT data, and a Priority Fee API to help your transactions land during congested periods. That means less time stitching together multiple services and more time shipping. The platform also documents credit-based billing for Solana, including how WebSocket responses are metered, so teams can plan capacity for busy trading hours.
For advanced data throughput, QuickNode offers Yellowstone gRPC access to Solana—purpose-built for high-performance data pipelines—available via shared or dedicated nodes.
