Solana RPC Endpoint and API

Solana endpoint details

• Common methods to test: getHealth, getEpochInfo, getBalance, sendTransaction
• Best-fit workloads: wallet account reads, trading bots, DeFi apps, high-throughput backend services

Build with Solana RPC on OnFinality

Solana applications are sensitive to endpoint speed and consistency, so teams should test account reads, transaction submission, and retry behavior before moving production traffic.

What to validate before production

Start with the endpoint shown above, then test the exact methods your app uses under realistic traffic. Check latency, response consistency, retry behavior, log or account queries, and whether your workload needs higher-capacity authenticated API access instead of a shared public endpoint.

Solana RPC & API Access

Solana is a high-performance blockchain built for decentralized applications, DeFi, NFTs, and other crypto-native products. Its proof-of-stake consensus and parallel transaction processing keep fees low and throughput high—but only if your RPC connection keeps up.

OnFinality provides managed Solana API endpoints for mainnet. You get authenticated access to the Solana JSON-RPC API without running your own node. Start with a shared endpoint to prototype, then scale to a higher-capacity plan as your traffic grows.

What to check first

• Connection test: Use getHealth or getEpochInfo to confirm your endpoint is live.
• Balance & accounts: getBalance and getAccountInfo are the most common starting points.
• Transaction flow: sendTransaction and getTransaction cover the core send-and-verify loop.
• Program queries: getProgramAccounts is essential for dApps that need to scan program-owned accounts.
• Epoch data: getEpochInfo helps you align with Solana's slot schedule.

Planning for production

• Observability: The OnFinality dashboard shows request volume, error rates, and usage patterns—useful for tuning your app before launch.
• Capacity: Shared endpoints work for development and low-traffic apps. For higher throughput, review the available plans in the dashboard.
