Shred Stream: Premium Regions
Last updated
Some Shred Stream regions are designated as premium as they offer lower latency infrastructure and are available as a separate subscription service.
To achieve lower latency, bloXroute has partnered with top staked validators on Solana across key regions. bloXroute currently supports validators representing over 10% of total staked SOL, enabling direct access to shred data close to where blocks are produced. Because Solana data propagates outward from validators, being geographically and topologically closer to a major validator source means shreds reach you sooner.
Compared to standard regions, premium regions offer:
Earlier access to shred data from high-stake validators
Less delay between when shreds are produced and when you receive them
More consistent performance during periods of network congestion
