Introduction

FastGate RPC is a dedicated Solana RPC endpoint purpose-built for high-speed account queries. It delivers consistently low latency across all getProgramAccounts variants and token account methods — with full Solana RPC compatibility.

Why FastGate

• Sub-200ms response times on paginated queries across all methods

• 100% uptime on all 9 supported methods — no blocked or unsupported calls

• Full Solana RPC compatibility — drop-in replacement for account query methods

• Pagination support — cursor-based pagination with getProgramAccountsV2

• Incremental sync — changedSinceSlot parameter for delta updates

• Multiple encodings — base64, base58, and base64+zstd for compressed payloads

Performance

All benchmarks measured against Helius RPC under identical conditions (same methods, same parameters, same network path).

Low-Stress Benchmark (10 req/method, 9 methods)

Metric	FastGate	Helius
Success Rate	90/90 (100%)	70/90 (78%)
p50 Latency	179 ms	413 ms
p95 Latency	951 ms	1,631 ms
Timeouts	0	10
Methods Supported	9/9	7/9

Per-Method Latency (p50)

Method	FastGate	Helius	Speedup
getProgramAccountsV2 (unfiltered)	179 ms	419 ms	2.3x
getProgramAccountsV2 (filtered)	207 ms	420 ms	2.0x
getProgramAccounts V1 (unfiltered)	928 ms	1,574 ms	1.7x
getProgramAccounts V1 (filtered)	932 ms	1,541 ms	1.7x
getMultipleAccounts	175 ms	252 ms	1.4x
getTokenAccountsByOwner	181 ms	252 ms	1.4x

High-Load Benchmark (50 RPS sustained, 30 seconds)

Metric	FastGate	Helius
Completed	1,501 / 1,501	1,500 / 1,500
Errors	0 (0%)	596 (40%)
p50 Latency	262 ms	5,000 ms
p95 Latency	459 ms	7,521 ms
p99 Latency	538 ms	9,445 ms

Under sustained load, FastGate maintains sub-second latencies. Helius applies stricter rate limits at this volume, which results in higher timeout rates — expected behavior for a shared public RPC tier.

Quick Start

Send a JSON-RPC request to the endpoint:

curl -X POST https://rpc.thornode.io/ \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "id": 1,
    "method": "getProgramAccountsV2",
    "params": [
      "TokenkegQfeZyiNwAJbNbGKPFXCWuBvf9Ss623VQ5DA",
      {
        "encoding": "base64",
        "filters": [{ "dataSize": 165 }],
        "limit": 200
      }
    ]
  }'

See the individual method pages for detailed parameter documentation and response formats.
