Geyser gRPC

Infrastructure · Abyss

A high-performance streaming interface that combines Solana's Geyser plugin framework with gRPC protocol for real-time blockchain data. Unlike WebSocket-based RPC subscriptions, Geyser gRPC streams account updates, transactions, slot notifications, and block metadata directly from the validator with lower latency and higher throughput. Yellowstone is the reference implementation. Used by indexers, bots, and analytics platforms that need sub-second data feeds.
