Solana is a high-performance, layer 1 blockchain designed to support decentralized applications (dApps) requiring scalability.

Solana’s native token is SOL, it’s used for transactions, executing smart contracts, and staking. Lamports are the smallest unit of currency on the Solana blockchain, there are 1 billion lamports in 1 SOL.

WebSocket clients MUST respond to server ping frames, otherwise the connection will be closed and re-established every minute.

Getting Started

Send a request to check that your endpoint works. Replace <YOUR_API_KEY_HERE> with the key from your endpoint in the Validation Cloud app.

curl https://mainnet.solana.validationcloud.io/v1/<YOUR_API_KEY_HERE> \
    -X POST \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1, "method":"getHealth"}'

curl https://devnet.solana.validationcloud.io/v1/<YOUR_API_KEY_HERE> \
    -X POST \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1, "method":"getHealth"}'

Connect over WebSocket:

wscat -c wss://mainnet.solana.validationcloud.io/v1/<YOUR_API_KEY_HERE>

wscat -c wss://devnet.solana.validationcloud.io/v1/<YOUR_API_KEY_HERE>
