Archival Data Access

All our Solana endpoints support querying the full history of the blockchain, all the way back to the genesis block. This allows you to look up historical transactions, blocks, and signatures without needing to manage your own archival infrastructure.

How It Works

When you make a request for a transaction, our system will route you to our Alpamayo and block-cache ledger backends. If the data is within the last several epochs, we will serve it directly from these low-latency endpoints. If the data is older than what these store, the request is automatically forwarded to our long-term archival ledger systems, Hydrant and Old Faithful.

Hydrant Archive & Pricing

Our Hydrant archive serves as the final step in our automated lookup process for very old data.

  • Pricing: $10.00 per million queries (or a fraction thereof).

  • Minimum Charge: $10.00 per month if the service is used.

  • Example Queries: getTransaction, getBlock, getSignaturesForAddress , getTransactionsForAddress.

Old Faithful (Next-Generation Archive)

Old Faithful is our modern, open-source solution for accessing Solana's historical ledger that provides gRPC streaming of bulk transaction and block data.

It is currently available for use via a separate, dedicated path. Please refer to the full Old Faithful documentation for details on how to access it today.
