About Solana

The Solana RPC documentation provides developers with the necessary tools to interact with the Solana blockchain programmatically. Solana is a high-performance blockchain that uses a unique consensus mechanism called Proof-of-History (PoH), combined with Proof-of-Stake (PoS), to achieve fast transaction speeds and high throughput. The documentation includes API endpoints for querying blockchain data, managing transactions, and deploying smart contracts. Solana is ideal for decentralized finance (DeFi), NFTs, and scalable decentralized applications requiring low-latency and high performance.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Solana RPC endpoints

What is Solana RPC?

Solana RPC (Remote Procedure Call) is an interface that allows developers to interact with the Solana blockchain. It enables you to read data, send transactions, and deploy smart contracts programmatically using standard JSON-RPC methods.

How do I connect to Solana using these RPC endpoints?

Simply copy the RPC endpoint URL from above and configure it in your Web3 library (ethers.js, web3.js), wallet (MetaMask, Trust Wallet), or development tool (Hardhat, Truffle). The endpoint works immediately with no registration required for the free tier.

What are the rate limits for free Solana RPC?

Free tier RPC endpoints are limited to 5 requests per minute. This is perfect for testing and development. For production applications, we recommend upgrading to Tatum Premium which offers 200 requests per second with no daily limits.

When should I upgrade to Premium?

Consider upgrading to Premium when you're moving to production, need higher rate limits (200 req/sec), require 99.9% uptime SLA, want access to archive nodes for historical data, or need advanced features like batch RPC calls, debug/trace methods, and priority support.

Is Solana RPC free forever?

Yes! Our free tier Solana RPC endpoints are free forever with 5 requests per minute. This tier is perfect for learning, testing, and small projects. There are no hidden fees or time limits on the free tier.

What's the difference between mainnet and testnet?

Mainnet is the live Solana blockchain where real transactions occur with real assets. Testnet is a separate network used for testing and development with free test tokens. Always test your dApp on testnet before deploying to mainnet.

Can I use these endpoints in production?

Free tier endpoints can be used in production for low-traffic applications (under 5 req/min). For production apps with higher traffic, we strongly recommend Tatum Premium for guaranteed uptime, faster rate limits, and enterprise SLA.
