# Solana Dedicated Nodes: High-Performance gRPC Streaming

> Dedicated Solana nodes optimized for gRPC streaming applications. Ultra-low latency blockchain data for trading, analytics, and real-time monitoring.

## Considering streaming data?

[LaserStream](/laserstream) is our recommended solution for most streaming use cases. It offers enhanced reliability, [historical replay (24 hours)](/laserstream/historical-replay), auto-reconnection, and multi-node failover without infrastructure management. [Compare LaserStream vs Dedicated Nodes](/laserstream/laserstream-vs-dedicated-nodes) to choose the right solution for your needs.

<Tip>
  Get started with LaserStream from your [Helius Dashboard](https://dashboard.helius.dev/laserstream). Mainnet requires a Business or Professional plan; Devnet is available on Developer and above. See [Plans & Pricing](/billing/plans) for details.

## What are Dedicated Nodes?

**Dedicated nodes are specifically designed for gRPC streaming applications** and should be combined with a shared plan for comprehensive Solana development needs:

* **gRPC Streaming**: Real-time blockchain data streaming with ultra-low latency
* **Data Monitoring**: Account, transaction, and block updates via Yellowstone Geyser
* **Trading Applications**: High-frequency data feeds for algorithmic trading
* **Analytics**: Real-time blockchain analytics and monitoring

## Node Options

* AMD EPYC 7443p
* AMD EPYC 7543p (Best for resource-intensive RPC calls)
* AMD EPYC 9254 (Best for resource-intensive RPC calls)

## Access Includes

* **gRPC streaming** via [Yellowstone Geyser Plugin](/grpc) (primary use case)
* Standard RPC and WebSocket methods (basic functionality only)
* Premium support
* Node clients — Agave (recommended) or Jito Labs

## Limitations

**Important**: Dedicated nodes have specific limitations and are not suitable as standalone solutions:

* **[`sendTransaction`](/api-reference/rpc/http/sendtransaction) Poor Landing Rates**: While supported, not optimized - most transactions will not land
* **No Archival Data**: Historical data access is not available
* **[`getProgramAccounts`](/api-reference/rpc/http/getprogramaccounts) Performance Risk**: While supported, heavy usage can impact node performance or cause node failure
* **No Platform Features**: APIs, webhooks, and staked connections require a shared plan

**Recommendation**: Use dedicated nodes for gRPC streaming in combination with a shared paid plan for comprehensive functionality.
