Thor ShredStream
The absolute fastest signal on Solana. Receive raw shreds via UDP 200-400ms before standard RPC endpoints—essential for high-frequency trading and MEV strategies.
Shreds are Solana's smallest data units, containing transaction fragments before they're assembled into blocks. Access this data first to gain a critical timing advantage.
The Speed Advantage
Thor ShredStream delivers data 200-400ms ahead of traditional methods
Latency measured from transaction submission to data availability
What are Shreds?
Solana breaks transactions into small packets called shreds—approximately 1,228 bytes each—containing slot numbers, shred indices, types, and transaction data fragments.
Validators reassemble shreds into complete blocks, but with Thor ShredStream, you receive them during propagation—before blocks are finalized.
This provides the earliest possible access to on-chain data for time-critical operations.
Technical Specifications
Infrastructure Requirements
Thor ShredStream requires specific infrastructure setup to receive raw shreds
Public IP Address
Open UDP port without NAT/CGNAT configurations
Low-Latency Server
Positioned near ThorLabs nodes (Frankfurt recommended)
Bandwidth Capacity
50-100 Mbps to handle the complete shred stream
Processing Capability
Deshredding logic and optional FEC decoding
Earliest Signal
Shreds arrive 200-400ms before standard RPC. React to transactions before blocks are even confirmed.
Raw Data Access
Unprocessed transaction fragments for custom parsing. Implement proprietary logic without middleware limitations.
UDP Delivery
Direct UDP packets minimize network overhead. No HTTP handshakes, no waiting—pure speed.
Enterprise Infrastructure
Globally distributed shred relays with enterprise-grade reliability. Consistent performance when it matters most.
Built for Speed-Critical Operations
High-Frequency Trading
React to transactions ahead of block confirmation for maximum trading advantage.
Arbitrage Detection
Detect cross-DEX price discrepancies at the earliest possible opportunity.
MEV Strategies
Build and submit transactions with minimal propagation delays for MEV extraction.
Market Making
Update quotes based on incoming order flow in real-time before blocks finalize.
