Solana Transactions gRPC Stream

The transactions gRPC Stream provides real-time transaction data across the Solana blockchain.

Configuration​

To subscribe to transactions, configure your stream as follows:

stream:
  type: "transactions"

Available Data​

The transactions stream provides comprehensive transaction information including:

  • Transaction details: Slot, signature, status, fees
  • Account information: Signers, accounts, program IDs
  • Balance updates: Pre/post balances for all accounts
  • Parsed instructions: IDL-parsed program calls with arguments and logs
  • Program execution: Success/failure status and error messages

Sample Data Structure​

Here's an example of the data structure you'll receive:

{
  "Block": {
    "Slot": 370030401
  },
  "Transaction": {
    "Index": 455,
    "Signature": "2gyW9NtqCRwsGGWoeJkGGQNPrQfcDT2dBQxUKXXVcC7QQbNBey9DtQLNkCRn7yU5N1H8YcFQESTC6KbQ7n1HyTwj",
    "Status": {
      "Success": true,
      "ErrorMessage": ""
    },
    "Header": {
        ...
      ],
      "Accounts": [
            ...
      ]
    },
    "TotalBalanceUpdates": [
      {
        "PreBalance": 82844277367,
        "PostBalance": 82844272367,
        "AccountIndex": 0
      },
        ...
    ],
    "ParsedIdlInstructions": [
      {
        "Index": 0,
        "Depth": 0,
        "CallerIndex": -1,
        "ExternalSeqNumber": 1,
        "InternalSeqNumber": 0,
        "Program": {
          "Address": "Vote111111111111111111111111111111111111111",
          "Parsed": true,
          "Name": "vote",
          "Method": "TowerSync",
          ...
        },
        "Accounts": [
          {
            "Address": "C616NHpqpaiYpqVAv619QL73vEqKJs1mjsJLtAuCzMX6",
            "IsSigner": false,
            "IsWritable": true
          },
          {
            "Address": "ETcW7iuVraMKLMJayNCCsr9bLvKrJPDczy1CMVMPmXTc",
            "IsSigner": true,
            "IsWritable": true
          }
        ],
        "Logs": [
          "Program Vote111111111111111111111111111111111111111 invoke [1]",
          "Program Vote111111111111111111111111111111111111111 success"
        ],
        "Data": ...
      }
    ]
  }
}

Key Points​

  • Parsed instructions: IDL-parsed program calls with structured arguments and account names
  • Balance tracking: Complete pre/post balance changes for all accounts
  • Program logs: Execution logs showing program invocation and success/failure
  • All programs: Captures transactions from all Solana programs, not just DEX

Filtering Options​

You can filter transactions by:

  • Addresses: senders, receivers, program_ids
  • Programs: Specific program addresses (e.g., Vote, Token, System)
  • Account types: Signers, writable accounts, program accounts
  • Transaction status: Success/failure filtering
