solana is back — almost

we've optimized sending transactions

you'll now see near XXX% transaction success rates and lower confirmation times (median ~2s)

why?

we route all transactions above a certain fee to our staked connections (currently the largest amount of stake of any RPC provider, by far)

how?

- use our fee API to get a recommended fee
- build the txn (you can do this natively or use our smartTransaction function in Rust or TS SDKs)
- full send

that's it

we are also open-sourcing the priority fee API, here:

note that certain providers have resorted to spamming the network and making validators lose revenue — as a result, these validators are blocking the senders

we don't do this because we like solana validators and solana

CUs are also going to start mattering much more (which the SDK takes care of for you)

so the later you migrate to something like this, the worse your app will suffer 

luckily, it's super easy to update

enjoy!
