Every shred

The full stream as broadcast, never a filtered subset.

Raw and unmodified

Exactly the packets we receive, forwarded straight through.

Your server

One address and port you nominate, in your own infrastructure.

One flat price

No tiers, no bandwidth bill, no renewal you did not ask for.

The price

Everyone else charges five times more for the same commodity

Shred delivery has an unusual shape. A provider pays once to receive the feed, and every additional subscriber gets a copy of packets that have already been paid for. The marginal cost of the next customer is bandwidth and almost nothing else.

At the volume one destination pulls, that is about $12 to $17 a month to serve one subscriber. Here is what the market asks for it.

Prices are what each vendor published on 2026-08-31. Margins are ours to estimate and theirs to dispute: we assume roughly $14 to serve a subscriber, which is what it costs us. This is a good business at $100, and a 85% margin is plenty.

If you run one of these services and our numbers are wrong, send us yours and we will publish the correction. That offer is open indefinitely.

What you are receiving

01

One block

A leader has a block ready to broadcast.

02

64 shreds

It is split into 32 data shreds and 32 coding shreds, each signed.

03

10 lost

The network drops some. Nothing is retransmitted and nobody is told which.

04

Rebuilt

Any 32 of the 64 reconstruct the block. Coding shreds count the same as data.

What is Solana ShredStream?

Solana ShredStream is a low-latency data feed that delivers raw Solana shreds over UDP before a block is fully assembled. Shreds are the individual packets validators broadcast during block production. By receiving and forwarding those packets directly, a shred feed can expose on-chain activity earlier than systems that wait for a completed block or decoded transaction stream. shredstream.sh forwards raw packets from Frankfurt to infrastructure you control.

Who uses raw Solana shreds?

MEV Searchers

Detect opportunities before completed blocks are available.

HFT & Arbitrage Systems

Reduce data-path latency by receiving packets directly over UDP.

Solana Infrastructure Providers

Build custom shred receivers, decoders, FEC recovery and transaction pipelines.

Node Operators & Developers

Control the receiver, networking stack, decoding and downstream application logic.

How it works

We receive at the edge and forward the raw packets

We hold a position close to where blocks are broadcast in Frankfurt, take delivery of shreds from multiple independent upstreams, and forward the first copy of each one to your socket. Nothing is decoded, nothing is reordered, nothing is buffered waiting for a block to complete.

Taking several sources and forwarding whichever arrives first means the feed is never slower than its best source on any given packet. What you receive is what a validator in that building would have received, minus the time it takes a packet to reach you.

01

Upstreams deliver

Independent sources receive shreds as leaders broadcast them.

02

We deduplicate

The same shred arrives more than once. We keep the first and drop the rest.

03

We forward

Raw UDP to your ip:port, from 203.23.178.228, unmodified.

04

You decode

Signature check, FEC recovery, reassembly, entries, transactions.

Get as close as you like. Our floor is the fastest upstream plus the trip to your machine, and that second number is entirely in your hands. Put your box in the same city and it very nearly disappears. Our hosting guide covers every budget.

Before anything flows

We prove you own the address first

When you add a destination we send exactly one datagram to it. You read it on that machine and hand the token back. Only then do we start sending.

$ nc -ul 8001
SHREDCAST-VERIFY 71b9a8ad f3Kq...

That packet is also the first thing our relay will ever send you, so it doubles as a working test of the path. The token lasts 10 minutes and you can ask for another one as many times as you need.

Looking for a Jito ShredStream alternative?

Jito ShredStream shut down on September 5, 2026. Teams that still depend on it need to switch to an active provider. Switch providers, then run a receiver locally to display incoming shred packets on your machine. Validate the replacement feed before sending production decisions through it. shredstream.sh delivers raw Solana shreds over UDP from Frankfurt.

Questions

The things people ask before buying

Everything a buyer usually wants to know, answered in full. If yours is not here, email us and an engineer replies.

What do I actually receive?

Raw Solana shreds as UDP datagrams, sent to an address and port you nominate. They arrive exactly as they came off the network, unmodified and undecoded, so you see on-chain activity at the earliest moment it is observable. You run the receiver, we do the delivering.

Why is this $100 when everyone else charges $500?

Because we price the shredstream on what it costs to run rather than on what the category has got away with charging. The arithmetic is published on our economics page, down to the transit rate. Same shreds, same wire, a fraction of the bill.

How quickly can I be up and running?

Minutes. Pay, sign in with the same email, name the address and port you want shreds sent to, confirm it, and the stream starts. Our firewall rule generator produces the exact one-line rule for your platform if you want it ready in advance.

What happens when Jito ShredStream shuts down?

Jito discontinued its shred service, which is why a lot of people are shopping right now. Moving to us means pointing at a different source address and opening a UDP port. Our migration guide covers the configuration change line by line, and most teams are switched over the same day.

How does billing work?

One flat $100 buys 30 days for one destination, settled on chain in USDC or SOL straight from your wallet. There is no card on file, no metered bandwidth and no subscription renewing behind your back. You buy more when you want more.

Can I add more destinations later?

Yes. Each destination is another 30 days at the same flat price, up to five on one account, and they are managed from the same dashboard. Plenty of customers run one for production and a second for a staging or research box.

Start your shredstream today. $100.

One flat price for 30 days on one destination, settled in USDC or SOL from your own wallet. Bandwidth included, nothing metered, and you are streaming within minutes of paying.
