Introduction

Solana RPC 2.0

Yellowstone National Park in the Western US is known for its many geysers. Collectively, our new blockchain infrastructure is called Project Yellowstone, and we named each sub-project after one of the geysers at Yellowstone National Park.

The Yellowstone projects form a service explicitly built for high-performance blockchain data delivery. Backend services can use gRPC subscriptions through Dragon's Mouth, and front-end GUIs will feel faster due to Steamboat custom indexes and Whirligig WebSockets.

Together with the Solana Foundation, we have also built a new historical archive called Old Faithful, through which all of Solana's transaction and block data is available at low cost and through decentralised means.

We are excited to build a better Solana!
