# 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](/solana/optimized-feed-relay/shred-stream.md) to bloXroute's Optimized Feed Relay (OFR) through Shred Stream. Once connected, the Stream enables your local client (identified with ip and port) to efficiently receive shreds across the OFR, maximizing performance.

## 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.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.bloxroute.com/solana/optimized-feed-relay.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
