Before the Block,
There's the Shred
Raw Solana shreds forwarded straight to your servers via UDP. Sourced from top-of-turbine validators across 9 global regions. See transactions before they hit any RPC or gRPC endpoint.

The Solana Data Layer, Unfiltered
OrbitFlare Shredstream pipes raw Turbine packets to your infrastructure over UDP — no middleware, no aggregation, no waiting for block finalization.
Raw UDP Delivery
Shreds are forwarded directly to your IP:port via UDP, the fastest possible transport. No HTTP overhead, no WebSocket connections, just raw packets.
9 Global Regions
Strategically placed across major financial and data center hubs for minimum network hops to your infrastructure.
Top-of-Turbine Validators
Our Jetstream servers are fed by high-stake validators sitting near the root of Solana's Turbine tree, minimizing propagation hops.
Enterprise Reliability
Backed by 99.99% uptime SLA with redundant infrastructure and real-time health monitoring across all regions.
Upstream of Every Other Feed
gRPC and RPC endpoints wait for shreds to be assembled into entries and blocks. Shredstream skips that queue entirely — you receive the raw Turbine fragments the moment our validators propagate them.
Shredstream Use Cases
From quantitative trading to protocol infrastructure, Shredstream powers every workflow where seeing Solana state changes first is a competitive requirement.
HFT Desks
Shave critical microseconds off your signal pipeline. Raw shreds let your strategies act on block data while others wait for RPC confirmation.
MEV Searchers
Observe pending state transitions at the Turbine layer and construct bundles with an information edge that processed feeds cannot match.
Memecoin Snipers
Spot new token deployments and liquidity events at the shred level, before they surface through conventional WebSocket or gRPC streams.
DEX Aggregators
Refresh routing tables and price quotes from raw transaction fragments, reducing staleness and improving fill quality for end users.
Liquidation Engines
Monitor collateral ratio changes as they propagate through Turbine and trigger liquidation calls ahead of the broader network.
Market Makers
Tighten bid-ask spreads by adjusting quotes based on shred-level order flow, well before aggregated block data is available.

Everything you need to know about receiving raw Solana shreds. Can't find the answer? Our team is here to help.
Shreds are the smallest unit of data in Solana's block propagation protocol (Turbine). Validators break blocks into shreds and distribute them across the network. By receiving raw shreds, you get access to transaction data before it's assembled into full blocks or processed by any RPC or gRPC endpoint.
When you purchase a Shredstream slot, you specify a region and a destination IP:port. Our Jetstream servers in that region receive shreds from top-of-turbine validators and forward them directly to your server via UDP. Shreds start arriving within seconds of configuring your destination.
We currently offer 9 regions. Premium regions at $1,000/month: Frankfurt (Germany), Amsterdam (Netherlands), New York (USA), and London (UK). Standard regions at $500/month: Singapore, Dublin (Ireland), Siauliai (Lithuania), Salt Lake City (USA), and Japan. All regions receive shreds from top-of-turbine validators.
You need a server with a public IP address and an open UDP port (no NAT/CGNAT). Your server should have sufficient bandwidth (~50-100 Mbps for a full shred stream) and you will need to implement deshredding logic to reconstruct transactions from the raw shred fragments. We provide documentation and code examples to help you get started.
Yes, for a limited time. Each active OrbitFlare NFT Pass license includes 1 free Shredstream slot, restricted to OrbitServers IPv4 prefixes. You can claim it directly from the Shredstream dashboard. The free slot is tied to your NFT Pass lifecycle.
Yes. You can start a free 12-hour trial for each region directly from the dashboard — no purchase required. There's a 14-day cooldown per region between trials. This lets you test the service and validate your integration before committing.
We accept three payment methods: account balance (instant), credit/debit card via Stripe (supports recurring auto-renewal), and Solana cryptocurrency (on-chain verification). You can also apply discount codes at checkout.
Subscriptions auto-renew by default at the end of each billing period. You can choose monthly, quarterly (5% discount), semi-annual (10% discount), or annual (15% discount) billing. Auto-renewal can be toggled on/off, and you can submit cancellation requests at any time from the dashboard.
