Shyft

What Shyft does

Shyft is a Solana-focused blockchain infrastructure provider that delivers low-latency data streaming, RPC services, and parsed transaction APIs to algorithmic traders, DeFi developers, data indexers, and enterprise trading desks. Founded in 2022 and headquartered in Bangalore, India, the company operates a self-serve, product-led platform where developers can sign up, obtain an API key, and begin streaming Solana data within minutes. Its core product is Shyft gRPC, a Yellowstone (Dragon's Mouth Geyser plugin)-based real-time streaming service that delivers transactions, accounts, blocks, and slots with filtered data over gRPC; this is paired with RabbitStream, a proprietary shred-level streaming technology that intercepts raw UDP shreds directly from Solana validators to provide the earliest possible transaction signal. Additional offerings include Accelerated getProgramAccounts (15ms P50 on top DEXes), SuperIndexers (GraphQL), Callback APIs (parsed webhooks), Transaction History, and the open-source Ladybug SDK with protocol-specific parsers for Raydium, Pump.fun, Jupiter, Meteora, Orca, and OpenBook.

The company's business model is subscription-based recurring revenue across four shared tiers (Free, Build at $199/month, Grow at $349/month, Accelerate at $649/month) with legacy credit-based plans still available, plus dedicated bare-metal Solana nodes priced at $1,800-$2,800/month for enterprise customers requiring infrastructure isolation. Pricing is differentiated by an unmetered, no-credit, no-egress model designed to provide cost predictability during high-volume events such as Pump.fun token launches. Shyft backs up its infrastructure with a 99.9% uptime SLA across 7 global regions (with Tokyo pending), automatic failover, slot replay of up to 150 slots, and dedicated backup pools co-located with highly-staked validators. Go-to-market is almost entirely product-led and community-driven, with no traditional sales motion beyond Discord-based enterprise conversations for dedicated nodes. The company is backed by 100X.VC and Randev Ventures and serves a customer base that includes Roundies, Guacamole, GMGN, Tatum, Dscvr, Neon EVM, Mobula, and other Solana-native startups.

Revenue model

1. Subscription - RPC & gRPC Plans: Monthly subscription tiers (Free, Build, Grow, Accelerate) providing unlimited credits for RPC requests, gRPC streaming access, RabbitStream, Accelerated getProgramAccounts, DeFi & GraphQL APIs, Callbacks, and Staked Connections. Dedicated nodes available at higher price points.
2. Legacy RPC Plans: Credit-based plans (Hack, Launch, Scale) with tiered credit allowances and overage pricing for additional credits. These older plans are still available for existing customers.
3. Dedicated Node Services: Private bare-metal Solana nodes with Gen5 AMD CPUs starting at $1,800/month. Configurations include AMD 9254/384GB ($1,800), 9275F/768GB ($2,200), 9354/768GB ($2,500), 7975X/768GB ($2,500), 9375F/768GB ($2,500), and 9375F/1TB ($2,800). All include shredstream acceleration, automated failover, unlimited streaming, and 24/7 monitoring.
4. Additional gRPC Connections: Additional gRPC connections sold at $100 per 10 connections for customers requiring more concurrent streams beyond their plan limits.

Core offering

Shyft provides production-grade Solana blockchain infrastructure consisting of low-latency gRPC streaming services (Shyft gRPC and the proprietary RabbitStream shred-level streamer), staked RPC endpoints, dedicated bare-metal node services, and supporting data APIs (GraphQL SuperIndexers, parsed Transaction History, and Callback webhooks). Customers subscribe to monthly tiers (Free, Build, Grow, Accelerate) or contract for dedicated nodes starting at $1,800/month, accessing data primarily through Yellowstone-compatible gRPC streams and JSON-RPC/GraphQL APIs. The product set is purpose-built for Solana DeFi traders, bot operators, and on-chain data indexers who need earliest-possible transaction visibility and unmetered throughput.

Product overview

Shyft is a Solana infrastructure-as-a-service platform providing a multi-product portfolio of low-latency blockchain data streaming and RPC services. The core offering consists of Shyft gRPC (Yellowstone gRPC) — a Dragon's Mouth Geyser plugin-based real-time streaming service for transactions, accounts, blocks, and slots — paired with RabbitStream, which operates at the shred level for ultra-early transaction detection. Additional data and API modules include SuperIndexers (GraphQL), Transaction History (parsed transactions), and Callback APIs (webhooks). Infrastructure tiers range from free shared RPC/gRPC access to dedicated bare-metal nodes ($1,800+/month). All services are built exclusively for the Solana blockchain and support streaming from major DeFi protocols including Raydium, Pump.fun, Jupiter, Meteora, and Orca via protocol-specific SDK examples in TypeScript and Rust.

Products and services

• Shyft gRPC (Yellowstone gRPC) A Dragon's Mouth / Geyser-plugin-based streaming service delivering real-time, filtered Solana blockchain data — transactions, accounts, blocks, and slots — directly from validators via a persistent gRPC stream, with multi-region failover across NY, Ashburn, Miami, London, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, and Singapore, slot replay up to 150 slots, unmetered bandwidth, and no egress charges. Designed for Solana developers, DeFi builders, traders, and indexers who need sub-second filtered access to on-chain activity.
• RabbitStream A proprietary shred-accelerated Solana streaming service that intercepts raw UDP shreds independently of any RPC node, reconstructs transactions server-side, and delivers decoded transactions through a Yellowstone-compatible gRPC interface. Provides the earliest possible transaction signal on Solana — 96.7% average win rate against Jito ShredStream and ~10ms to 100ms faster detection than standard Yellowstone gRPC — for traders, MEV searchers, snipers, and indexers who need to act before competitors.
• Dedicated gRPC Nodes Private, bare-metal Solana nodes co-located with highly-staked validators, offering full infrastructure isolation with no multi-tenancy, direct access without token authentication, private backup failover pools, automated failover, unlimited streaming, 24/7 monitoring, and a 4–20ms latency advantage over shared infrastructure. Configurations range from AMD 9254/384GB at $1,800/month to AMD 9375F/1TB at $2,800/month, supporting both RPC and gRPC on the same node. Sold to professional trading desks, market makers, and hedge funds that cannot tolerate shared infrastructure.
• Ladybug SDK An open-source TypeScript (with Rust examples) SDK provided by Shyft for streaming and parsing Solana gRPC data, bundling protocol-specific gRPC examples for Raydium AMM V4, Pump.fun bonding curve, Jupiter v6 swaps, Meteora DLMM, Orca Whirlpool, and other Solana DeFi protocols. Targeted at developers building Solana DeFi applications who need pre-built parsing logic and reference implementations to accelerate integration with Shyft's streaming infrastructure.

Partnerships

Two partnerships are on record, tiered core.

• Triton One (Yellowstone/D dragon's Mouth)coreTechnology or IntegrationShyft operates Dragon's Mouth gRPC nodes, originally developed by Triton One as part of their Yellowstone project. This provides the foundational gRPC infrastructure for Shyft's streaming services.
• Multiple Solana ValidatorscoreTechnology or IntegrationShyft receives shreds from multiple partner validators simultaneously across the Solana network. Whichever validator produces the shred first, customers get it first - enabling earliest possible data delivery.
