Helius Sender is a specialized service for ultra-low latency transaction submission. It sends transactions to both Solana validators and Jito simultaneously, providing multiple pathways for block inclusion.

Capabilities

CapabilityDescription
Dual routingSends to both validators and Jito for maximum inclusion probability
Global endpointsHTTPS for frontends, regional HTTP for backends
No credit costAvailable on all plans without consuming API credits
Connection warmingPing endpoints to maintain warm connections
SWQOS-only modeCost-optimized routing with lower tip requirements
High throughputDefault 50 TPS, upgradable for Professional plans

Requirements

All Sender transactions must include:
  1. skipPreflight: true — mandatory
  2. Jito tip — minimum 0.0002 SOL transfer to a designated tip account (0.000005 SOL for SWQOS-only)
  3. Priority fee — via ComputeBudgetProgram.setComputeUnitPrice

Example Agent Prompts

Use these prompts with an AI tool connected to the Helius MCP server:
  • “Build a transaction sending function using Helius Sender with proper tips and priority fees”
  • “How do I use Helius Sender with the Jupiter swap API?”
  • “Show me how to implement retry logic for Sender transactions”
  • “What’s the difference between default dual routing and SWQOS-only mode?”
  • “How do I warm Sender connections to reduce cold start latency?”
