Solana Gun
Solana Gun is a fast transaction landing service for Solana. It shortens the delivery path between your application and Solana’s block producers. Send a signed transaction to a nearby Solana Gun endpoint over RPC, WebSocket, or QUIC, and the service uses its view of the leader schedule to forward it over SwQoS connections to the validators responsible for the current and upcoming blocks.
Who should use it
Solana Gun is useful when arriving late can change the outcome of a transaction. Typical users include:- Systems acting on short-lived market signals, including market-making, arbitrage, liquidation, and other automated trading strategies.
- DeFi products and wallets that want a dedicated submission path for important user transactions, particularly when the network is busy.
- Bots and backend services with frequent transaction traffic that can take advantage of persistent WebSocket sessions or direct QUIC submission.
- Teams that already have an RPC provider but want to improve transaction delivery without operating their own routing and leader-tracking infrastructure.
