Get shreds

Start receiving raw shreds — subscribe in your Helius Dashboard.
Raw shreds (UDP) are unprocessed Solana shred packets delivered as they’re produced — the earliest possible access to onchain transaction data, before any decoding or execution. Helius streams these fragments directly to your server so you can reconstruct transactions with your own deshredding and parsing logic. Raw shreds are built for latency-sensitive workloads like high-frequency trading, arbitrage, and MEV, where microseconds influence profitability.

​
Technical Requirements

To effectively utilize raw shreds, your system should have:

Deshredding Capability

Custom logic to reconstruct complete transactions from raw shreds

Low-Latency Infrastructure

High-performance systems optimized for microsecond-level processing

Trading Logic Integration

Ability to act on unprocessed data with appropriate risk management

Network Optimization

Optimized network configuration for minimal processing delays
If you are new to consuming Raw Shreds, see Jito’s ShredStream Proxy as a reference.

​
Managing Your Seats

You can remove a seat or change the IP address directly from the Shreds tab in your dashboard.

​
Removing a Seat

There are no refunds when you remove a seat. The seat remains billed through the end of the current billing cycle. When the billing cycle ends, the removed seat will not be renewed.

​
Changing IP Addresses

When the bounded IP for a seat is changed, the dashboard issues a new token for that seat. Use this new token to activate the new feed, and then the old feed is canceled. Each seat still binds to exactly one IP.

​
Pricing

Raw shreds are $1,000/month per IP on all plans. Pro plan customers pay $800/month per IP. See our plans page for full details. Need a custom arrangement? Contact our sales team.
