A Solana RPC (Remote Procedure Call) node is a machine or group of machines that provide an internet service allowing developers, traders and applications to interact with the Solana blockchain.

It acts as a bridge between your application and the Solana network, enabling you to send requests, retrieve blockchain data, and execute transactions. By using the constant●k Solana RPC service, you can:

  • Query Blockchain Data: Access information such as account balances, transaction histories, and smart contract states.

  • Send Transactions: Submit transactions to the Solana network, such as transferring SOL or interacting with decentralized applications (dApps).

  • Build Scalable Applications: Leverage Solana’s high-throughput and low-latency blockchain to create efficient, scalable dApps.

The constant●k Solana RPC service provides reliable, secure, and high-performance access to the Solana network, ensuring your applications can operate seamlessly. Whether you’re funding a wallet, building a Web3 dApp, deploying a DeFi platform, or starting an NFT marketplace, our RPC service simplifies your interaction with Solana’s ecosystem.

To begin using the constant●k Solana RPC service, follow these simple steps to set up your account and make your first API call:

  1. Create an Account:

  2. Activate a Plan

    • Visit the constant●k Pricing page at constant-k.com/pricing and choose the Free tier to get started or select a paid plan for higher usage limits.

  3. Obtain Your API Key:

    • Your API Key will be generated for you and added to your My Account page at constant-k.com/my-account. It will also be emailed to you. Navigate to the My Account page where you’ll find the Endpoints section.

  4. Make Your First API Call:

    • Use the constant●k RPC Endpoint URL (e.g., https://rpc.constant-k.com?api-key=”your api key”) to interact with the Solana blockchain.

    • You can use your constant●k RPC endpoint URL anywhere you would normally need an RPC, such as a Read RPC url for a MEV bot or a transaction RPC for Jupiter.

  5. Explore Available Methods:

    • constant●k RPC service supports standard Solana RPC methods like getAccountInfo, getTokenAccountsByOwner, and sendTransaction.

By following these steps, you can quickly integrate the constant●k Solana RPC service into your project and start building on Solana.

constant●k is for Solana developers, traders and bot runners. Our server is located in Fishers, Indiana USA with a fiber trunk to Chicago, so users needing the fastest lookups and tx sends are best suited if they are located in the Midwest USA or Central Canada.

  • Developers can run Web3 dApps with high performance and low latency, leveraging Solana’s scalable blockchain to build decentralized applications efficiently. Our Unlimited Transaction plans are priced so anyone can afford to get up and running quickly, with zero worry of overage fees.
  • Traders and bot runners can run unlimited lookup requests and execute fast, cost-effective transactions, benefiting from constant●k’s optimized infrastructure for seamless interaction with Solana’s ecosystem.
    • constant●k’s RPC service is primarily designed to be an affordable “read RPC” provider where your bots or programs can make many rapid lookup requests to the Solana blockchain. Our Unlimited Transaction plans give users peace of mind that their read-RPC needs won’t cost them anything more than what they signed up for.
    • constant●k can also be used to send SOL transactions to the Solana network. constant●k has dedicated many hours of research to reduce latency and overhead, along with fine-tuning failed transaction rebroadcast timing, so that our sendTransaction success rate is as high as possible for a non-staked RPC. While this gives our user’s transactions the best possible chance to land when using our RPC, the Solana network is very crowded and success also depends on your priority fees and physical distance to our server.
    • The Solana network is also very dynamic, with the current validator leader changing every few minutes. This means that the current leader’s physical location is always changing, so latency between our RPC and the current validator is always changing as well. We try to mitigate this as best as possible with our commercial class, unmetered internet connection.
    • The Solana network gives preference to RPCs that send transactions through staked validators, something constant●k lacks at this point in time. We have plans to parter with or host our own staked validator in the future.
