GetBlock Solana Low-Latency Infrastructure Bounty

🚀 Goal: Drive awareness and mentions of GetBlock’s dedicated low-latency Solana infrastructure across social media, blogs, and developer communities. Showcase Solana performance, HFT/MEV use cases, and the benefits of modular, execution-grade infrastructure.

About GetBlock

GetBlock is a Tier 1 blockchain infrastructure provider, powering developers, HFT traders, MEV searchers, and market makers with reliable RPC nodes and advanced execution tools. Our dedicated low-latency Solana nodes optimize state discovery and transaction landing for sub-slot competitive environments.

Your Mission

Create posts, threads, videos, or blogs highlighting GetBlock’s Solana infrastructure. You can focus on one or more of these angles:

1. HFT & MEV Performance – earlier block visibility, faster execution, better transaction landing. Key facts to include: transaction landing in 200ms–2s vs. standard 5–10s; 95%+ landing probability vs. 60–90% with standard RPC; 100–150ms reduction in head-lag from accelerated shred reception; most profitable MEV opportunities exist for <1 second before the market equalizes.

2. StreamFirst Advantage – accelerated shred propagation and earlier state discovery. Key facts to include: 25–30ms faster than standard Yellowstone gRPC end-to-end; up to 140–150ms earlier block visibility via accelerated shred pipeline; up to 10ms saved by the optimized Yellowstone plugin; multi-source shred aggregation from high-stake validators positioned early in Turbine tree.

3. LandFirst Advantage – intelligent multi-path transaction routing, higher inclusion probability. Key facts to include: 3 parallel routing paths simultaneously (own SWQoS connections, leased SWQoS via bloXroute BDN, Jito Block Engine); landing time 200ms–2s vs. 5–10s standard; 95%+ landing probability; Jito tip ~$0.20 per transaction for guaranteed inclusion via MEV auction.

4. TradeFirst Bundle – all-in-one low-latency trading node for Solana. Key facts to include: complete trading cycle from signal detection (+25–30ms faster StreamFirst) to execution (95%+ landing via LandFirst); fully managed, pre-configured setup; pricing ~$4,000–5,000/mo for the full stack; no operational overhead for teams needing sub-slot latency.

5. IndexFirst & Historical Data – ETL SDK and historical Solana data access. Key facts to include: developer-friendly SDK for custom ETL pipelines; use cases include backtesting strategies, analytics dashboards, and AI/ML model training; data indexed via SQD Network.

6. Low-Latency Benchmarks – highlight our top latency results. Key facts to include: 6ms RPC latency in Frankfurt — #1 in Europe (verified by CompareNodes); 14–16ms across other European hubs (Amsterdam, London); <100ms global average across 27 locations; Top-5 worldwide among leading Solana providers; 30–60% faster than typical providers; up to 2× faster than standard Solana RPC in real-world testing.

7. Dedicated Node SLA – enterprise-grade reliability guarantees. Key facts to include: 99.99%+ uptime with SLA backing; <5-minute support response from Solana-native engineers; 1,000+ RPS with no throttling; <0.5s confirmation time for 99.9% of transactions; global latency average under 100ms.

8. Optimized Plugins – Yellowstone gRPC and Geyser plugin improvements. Key facts to include: Yellowstone gRPC plugin priced at $400/mo; 25–30ms faster than standard Yellowstone; up to 140–150ms earlier state visibility combined with shred acceleration; bloXroute WS plugin at $700/mo for priority BDN routing and 95%+ landing probability; MEV Protection plugin (Merkle) at $50/mo.

9. Pricing & Value – cost-effective premium infrastructure for latency-sensitive users. Key facts to include: StreamFirst add-ons total ~$1,000/mo (Shreds Gateway $700/mo + Yellowstone gRPC $400/mo); LandFirst (transaction routing) included at no additional fee — competitors charge for this; TradeFirst full bundle ~$4,000–5,000/mo; MEV Protection plugin $50/mo.

You can mix angles in one submission to create richer coverage.

Submission Requirements

Your content must:

1. Be 2+ posts (X, Linkedin) or 1+ long-form piece (e.g., X thread, blog, video)
2. Tag @getblockio and link to https://getblock.io/chains/solana or https://getblock.io/
3. Highlight at least 1-2 Solana advantages listed above.
4. Include a call-to-action (e.g., “Explore GetBlock Solana nodes: https://getblock.io/chains/solana ”).
5. Be factual and accurate; no exaggerations like “guaranteed inclusion” or “zero latency.”
6. Optionally include visuals, charts, or demos to improve engagement.

Judging Criteria

1. Accuracy – correct technical and product info.

2. Engagement – clear, concise, and interesting for Solana developers/traders.

3. Originality – personal style and creativity matter.

4. Diversity – different angles or perspectives on Solana infra are a plus.

5. Visual Appeal – banners, screenshots, or diagrams increase points.

Rewards

Rewards will be distributed based on content quality, creativity, and engagement. Multiple winners may be chosen to encourage coverage from different perspectives (HFT, plugins, latency, pricing, etc.).
