# Optimized Feed Relay (OFR) The bloXroute Optimized Feed Relay (OFR), pronounced "Offer", delivers shreds with exceptional speed, offering latency improvements of 30-50+ ms when compared to default Turbine propagation . The OFR provides significant benefits to all nodes, including Staked Validators and RPC nodes, Trading Bots, HFTs, Market Makers & DeFi Traders. Chains supported: SOL ### Benefits of Connecting to the OFR * **Faster Geyser Notifications for Traders**: Traders using a local node with the Geyser plugin will experience significantly faster notifications, improving decision-making and responsiveness. * **Increased APY for Validators**: Validators can expect higher APY due to reduced forks and improved voting efficiency. * **Enhanced Endpoints for RPC Providers**: RPC providers will deliver faster, more reliable endpoints to their users, improving overall service quality. ### How to Connect Leverage OFR [by connecting your node](https://docs.bloxroute.com/solana/optimized-feed-relay/solana-gateway-setup) to bloXroute's Optimized Feed Relay (OFR) through the Solana Gateway. Once connected, the Gateway enables your Solana node to efficiently send and receive shreds across the OFR, maximizing performance. ### Stay Updated For the latest information about the OFR, join our [Discord community](https://discordapp.com/invite/mB95H7s). --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
