What is shredjet?

Shredjet is a service that provides High Priority streams of Solana shreds to validators and RPC nodes.

When integrated with your node, shredjet delivers shreds through a direct streaming mechanism that bypasses the standard Solana Turbine Tree propagation path. This direct delivery method reduces the latency of shred reception.

Benefits​

The primary function of shredjet is to accelerate block propagation to your node. This improvement in propagation speed provides several operational advantages:

  • Validator reliability improvement through alternative block propagation paths
  • Reduced voting latency as block entries are received earlier
  • Lower probability of missed votes due to propagation delays / inconsistencies
  • Performance optimization for block production and processing
  • Latency reduction for WebSocket and yellowstone-gRPC services (if implemented)

Shredjet achieves these benefits by establishing a more direct path for shreds to reach your node infrastructure, eliminating intermediary hops in the propagation network.

Requirements​

  • Docker
  • Approx. 5mb/sec of download bandwidth per node
