# Acquiring Transaction Bandwidth

Our Cascade network used to include an open marketplace where you could buy guaranteed transaction bandwidth, these days we offer this for free. This allows your application to bypass congested public routes by using Solana's Stake-Weighted Quality of Service (SWQoS), ensuring more reliable transaction delivery.\
\
Cascade endpoints are used to send transactions over SWQoS transaction bandwidth using our open source transaction sending software. Transactions sent to the the endpoint you will get with your account are always routed to the nearest gateway, ensuring the lowest latency possible from any backend location you might have.\
\
Cascade-only endpoints are possible with us, you are not required to have additional RPC subscriptions with us.
