📡 Raw Shred Stream
ShredStream.com delivers raw Solana shreds directly to your server as UDP packets. These shreds arrive hundreds of milliseconds before the same data is available through standard RPC or Geyser gRPC endpoints.
With raw shreds you own the pipeline: bind a UDP socket, then run deshredding, reassembly, and transaction decoding through an optimized decoder so the latency advantage is preserved. Want to skip the decoder entirely? Decoded Shred Stream delivers transactions already reassembled.
🛠️ Your Receiver, Your Pipeline
Raw Shred Stream keeps you as close to the wire as possible: point any Solana shred receiver at the IP/port you configure in the dashboard, then handle socket buffers, deshredding, slot reassembly, and transaction decoding in your own pipeline. One rule: the decoder must be optimized, or the latency advantage is lost on your side.

⚡ Skip the Decoder Entirely
If you would rather not run deshredding and reassembly at all, Decoded Shred Stream delivers transactions already reassembled in standard Solana wire format, over UDP or gRPC — nothing to decode on your side:
- Decoded Shred Stream — fully reassembled Solana transactions in standard wire format, received with the
decoded-shredstreamclient.
