What is a Solana RPC Node?

Access the world's fastest blockchain

A Solana RPC node provides applications with access to Solana's high-performance blockchain, enabling lightning-fast transaction execution, real-time account updates, and program interactions. Solana's architecture allows applications to achieve throughput impossible on traditional blockchains.

Why Solana is the fastest

Solana's breakthrough innovation is Proof of History (PoH) — a cryptographic clock enabling validators to agree on time order without communication overhead. Combined with parallel transaction processing and optimized networking, Solana achieves 400ms blocks and 65,000+ TPS while maintaining decentralization.

Solana advantages:

  • Blazing speed — 400ms blocks, 65,000+ TPS capacity
  • Minimal fees — transactions cost fractions of a cent
  • Composability — atomic cross-program calls
  • Proof of History — innovative consensus mechanism
  • Growing ecosystem — dominant in NFTs, DeFi, gaming
  • Developer tools — comprehensive SDK and tooling

Proof of History explained

Proof of History is a cryptographic technique that creates a verifiable passage of time between events. Validators can prove that transactions occurred in a specific order without waiting for consensus on timing, dramatically increasing throughput.

How Solana works:

  1. Leader validator sequences transactions with PoH timestamps
  2. Transactions execute in parallel across multiple cores
  3. Leader produces block every ~400ms
  4. Validators verify PoH and state transitions
  5. Tower BFT consensus finalizes blocks

Solana programs vs smart contracts

Solana uses programs (not smart contracts) written in Rust or C. Programs are stateless — they manipulate separate account data. This architecture enables parallel execution and extreme performance.

Popular Solana programs include SPL Token (token standard), Metaplex (NFT), and Serum/Jupiter (DEX aggregation).

Supported RPC Methods

Solana uses JSON-RPC with Solana-specific methods:

  • getBalance — get SOL balance
  • getAccountInfo — get account data
  • getTransaction — get transaction details
  • sendTransaction — broadcast transaction
  • getRecentBlockhash — get latest blockhash
  • getTokenAccountsByOwner — get SPL token accounts
  • getProgramAccounts — query program accounts
  • getSlot — current slot number
  • accountSubscribe — WebSocket account updates
  • logsSubscribe — WebSocket transaction logs

Code Examples

💻

JavaScript (@solana/web3.js) — Solana Connection:

const { Connection, PublicKey, LAMPORTS_PER_SOL } = require('@solana/web3.js');

const connection = new Connection(
  'https://rpc.crypto-chief.com/solana/YOUR_API_KEY',
  'confirmed'
);

// Get SOL balance
const publicKey = new PublicKey('YourSolanaAddress...');
const balance = await connection.getBalance(publicKey);
console.log('SOL Balance:', balance / LAMPORTS_PER_SOL, 'SOL');

// Get account info
const accountInfo = await connection.getAccountInfo(publicKey);
console.log('Account owner:', accountInfo?.owner.toString());

// Get recent performance
const perfSamples = await connection.getRecentPerformanceSamples(1);
console.log('Recent TPS:', perfSamples[0].numTransactions / perfSamples[0].samplePeriodSecs);
💻

Transfer SOL:

const { Connection, Keypair, SystemProgram, Transaction, sendAndConfirmTransaction, LAMPORTS_PER_SOL } = require('@solana/web3.js');

const connection = new Connection('https://rpc.crypto-chief.com/solana/YOUR_API_KEY');

// Load keypair (in production, use secure key management)
const fromKeypair = Keypair.fromSecretKey(Uint8Array.from([/* your secret key */]));
const toPublicKey = new PublicKey('RecipientAddress...');

// Create transfer transaction
const transaction = new Transaction().add(
  SystemProgram.transfer({
    fromPubkey: fromKeypair.publicKey,
    toPubkey: toPublicKey,
    lamports: 0.1 * LAMPORTS_PER_SOL // 0.1 SOL
  })
);

// Send and confirm
const signature = await sendAndConfirmTransaction(
  connection,
  transaction,
  [fromKeypair]
);

console.log('Transaction signature:', signature);
💻

Get SPL Token Balance:

const { Connection, PublicKey } = require('@solana/web3.js');
const { getAssociatedTokenAddress, getAccount } = require('@solana/spl-token');

const connection = new Connection('https://rpc.crypto-chief.com/solana/YOUR_API_KEY');

// USDC on Solana
const USDC_MINT = new PublicKey('EPjFWdd5AufqSSqeM2qN1xzybapC8G4wEGGkZwyTDt1v');
const owner = new PublicKey('YourAddress...');

// Get associated token account
const tokenAccount = await getAssociatedTokenAddress(
  USDC_MINT,
  owner
);

// Get token balance
const accountInfo = await getAccount(connection, tokenAccount);
console.log('USDC Balance:', Number(accountInfo.amount) / 1e6);
💻

WebSocket — Real-Time Account Updates:

const { Connection, PublicKey } = require('@solana/web3.js');

const connection = new Connection('wss://rpc.crypto-chief.com/solana/ws/YOUR_API_KEY');

const publicKey = new PublicKey('AddressToMonitor...');

// Subscribe to account changes
const subscriptionId = connection.onAccountChange(
  publicKey,
  (accountInfo, context) => {
    console.log('Account updated at slot:', context.slot);
    console.log('New lamports:', accountInfo.lamports);
  },
  'confirmed'
);

// Unsubscribe later
// await connection.removeAccountChangeListener(subscriptionId);

Solana Best Practices

  • Commitment Levels: Use 'confirmed' for most apps, 'finalized' for high-value
  • Rate Limits: Implement proper retry logic and rate limiting
  • Transaction Fees: Set compute budget for complex transactions
  • Account Rent: Ensure accounts have minimum balance for rent exemption
  • Recent Blockhash: Fetch recent blockhash for every transaction
  • Error Handling: Handle Solana-specific errors and retries

Solana is the world's fastest blockchain with 400ms blocks and 65,000+ TPS capacity, using Proof of History and Proof of Stake consensus.

Solana produces blocks every ~400 milliseconds and can theoretically process 65,000+ transactions per second, with actual throughput regularly exceeding 3,000+ TPS.

Proof of History is Solana's innovation — a cryptographic clock proving when events occurred, enabling validators to agree on transaction order without communication overhead.

Solana transaction fees are typically $0.00025 (0.000005 SOL), making it one of the cheapest blockchains for transactions.

No, Solana uses its own architecture with programs written in Rust or C. It's not EVM-compatible, which allows for superior performance.

SPL (Solana Program Library) is Solana's token standard, similar to Ethereum's ERC-20. It includes standards for fungible tokens, NFTs, and more.

Solana experienced network congestion and outages in 2021-2022. The network has since improved significantly with upgrades focused on stability and resilience.

Compressed NFTs use Solana's state compression to dramatically reduce NFT costs — minting a million NFTs costs ~50 SOL instead of 250,000 SOL.

Yes, we provide RPC access to Solana mainnet-beta and devnet for development and testing.
