Quicknode Solana Infrastructure

Build high-performance Solana applications with Quicknode — blockchain infrastructure provider supporting 80+ chains with low-latency RPC endpoints, DAS API, Yellowstone gRPC streaming, real-time data pipelines, and developer-first APIs.

Overview

Quicknode provides:

• **RPC Endpoints**: Low-latency Solana access with authentication embedded in the URL
• **DAS API**: Unified NFT and token queries — standard NFTs, compressed NFTs (cNFTs), fungible tokens, MPL Core Assets, Token 2022
• **Yellowstone gRPC**: Real-time Solana data streaming via Geyser plugin
• **Priority Fee API**: Fee estimation for transaction landing
• **Streams**: Real-time and historical data pipelines with JavaScript filtering
• **Webhooks**: Event-driven blockchain notifications
• **Metis**: Jupiter Swap API integration
• **IPFS**: Decentralized file storage
• **Key-Value Store**: Serverless state persistence for Streams
• **Admin API**: Programmatic endpoint management
• **x402**: Pay-per-request RPC via USDC micropayments (no API key needed)
• **Multi-Chain**: 80+ networks including Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, Base, BSC, Avalanche, Bitcoin, and more

Quick Start

Get Your Endpoint

1. Visit [quicknode.com/endpoints](https://www.quicknode.com/endpoints) 2. Select **Solana** and your network (Mainnet / Devnet) 3. Create an endpoint 4. Copy the HTTP and WSS URLs

Environment Setup

# .env file
QUICKNODE_RPC_URL=https://your-endpoint.solana-mainnet.quiknode.pro/your-token/
QUICKNODE_WSS_URL=wss://your-endpoint.solana-mainnet.quiknode.pro/your-token/
QUICKNODE_API_KEY=your_console_api_key  # Optional: for Admin API

Basic Setup with @solana/kit

import { createSolanaRpc, createSolanaRpcSubscriptions } from "@solana/kit";

const rpc = createSolanaRpc(process.env.QUICKNODE_RPC_URL!);
const rpcSubscriptions = createSolanaRpcSubscriptions(process.env.QUICKNODE_WSS_URL!);

// Make RPC calls
const slot = await rpc.getSlot().send();
const balance = await rpc.getBalance(address).send();

Authentication

Quicknode endpoints include authentication in the URL:

https://{ENDPOINT_NAME}.solana-mainnet.quiknode.pro/{TOKEN}/

Enable JWT authentication or IP allowlisting in the Quicknode dashboard for additional security.

RPC Endpoints

Solana Endpoints

| Network | URL Pattern | |---------|-------------| | Mainnet | `https://{name}.solana-mainnet.quiknode.pro/{token}/` | | Devnet | `https://{name}.solana-devnet.quiknode.pro/{token}/` | | WebSocket | `wss://{name}.solana-mainnet.quiknode.pro/{token}/` |

Using with @solana/kit

import {
  createSolanaRpc,
  createSolanaRpcSubscriptions,
  address,
  lamports,
} from "@solana/kit";

const rpc = createSolanaRpc(process.env.QUICKNODE_RPC_URL!);
const rpcSubscriptions = createSolanaRpcSubscriptions(process.env.QUICKNODE_WSS_URL!);

// Account balance
const balance = await rpc.getBalance(address("E645TckHQnDcavVv92Etc6xSWQaq8zzPtPRGBheviRAk")).send();

// Account info
const accountInfo = await rpc.getAccountInfo(address("E645TckHQnDcavVv92Etc6xSWQaq8zzPtPRGBheviRAk"), {
  encoding: "base64",
}).send();

// Recent blockhash
const { value: blockhash } = await rpc.getLatestBlockhash().send();

// Token accounts
const tokenAccounts = await rpc.getTokenAccountsByOwner(
  address("E645TckHQnDcavVv92Etc6xSWQaq8zzPtPRGBheviRAk"),
  { programId: address("TokenkegQfeZyiNwAJbNbGKPFXCWuBvf9Ss623VQ5DA") },
  { encoding: "jsonParsed" },
).send();

Using with Legacy web3.js

import { Connection, PublicKey } from "@solana/web3.js";

const connection = new Connection(process.env.QUICKNODE_RPC_URL!);
const balance = await connection.getBalance(new PublicKey("E645TckHQnDcavVv92Etc6xSWQaq8zzPtPRGBheviRAk"));

| Plan | Requests/sec | Credits/month | |------|-------------|---------------| | Free Trial | 15 | 10M | | Build | 50 | 80M | | Accelerate | 125 | 450M | | Scale | 250 | 950M | | Business | 500 | 2B |

DAS API (Digital Asset Standard)

Comprehensive API for querying Solana digital assets — standard NFTs, compressed NFTs (cNFTs), fungible tokens, MPL Core Assets, and Token 2022 Assets. Available as a Marketplace add-on (Metaplex DAS API).

Get Assets by Owner

const response = await fetch(process.env.QUICKNODE_RPC_URL!, {
  method: "POST",
  headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    jsonrpc: "2.0",
    id: 1,
    method: "getAssetsByOwner",
    params: {
      ownerAddress: "E645TckHQnDcavVv92Etc6xSWQaq8zzPtPRGBheviRAk",
      limit: 10,
      options: { showFungible: true, showCollectionMetadata: true },
    },
  }),
});

const { result } = await response.json();
// result.total — total assets
// result.items — array of asset metadata
// result.cursor — for pagination

Search Assets

const response = await fetch(process.env.QUICKNODE_RPC_URL!, {
  method: "POST",
  headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    jsonrpc: "2.0",
    id: 1,
    method: "searchAssets",
    params: {
      ownerAddre
