Solana ShredStream SDK for Python

Solana ShredStream SDK/Decoder for Python, enabling ultra-low latency Solana transaction streaming via UDP shreds from ShredStream.com

Part of the ShredStream.com ecosystem — ultra-low latency Solana shred streaming via UDP.

📋 Prerequisites

1. Create an account on ShredStream.com
2. Launch a Shred Stream and pick your region (Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Singapore, Chicago, and more)
3. Enter your server's IP address and the UDP port where you want to receive shreds
4. Open your firewall for inbound UDP traffic on that port (e.g. configure your cloud provider's security group)
5. Install Python 3.10+

📦 Installation

# Create a virtual environment (recommended)
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate

# Install the SDK
pip install shredstream

⚡ Quick Start

Create a file main.py:

from shredstream import ShredListener
import os

# Bind to the UDP port configured on ShredStream.com
PORT = int(os.environ.get("SHREDSTREAM_PORT", 8001))

# Decoded transactions — ready-to-use Solana transactions
for slot, transactions in ShredListener(port=PORT):
    for tx in transactions:
        print(f"slot {slot}: {tx.signature}")

# OR raw shreds — lowest latency, arrives before block assembly
# listener = ShredListener(port=PORT)
# for shred in listener.shreds():
#     print(f"slot={shred.slot} index={shred.index} len={len(shred.payload)}")

Run it:

python3 main.py

📖 API Reference

ShredListener

ShredListener(port=8001, recv_buf=25*1024*1024, max_age=10)

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
port	int	8001	UDP port to bind
recv_buf	int	25 MB	Socket receive buffer size
max_age	int	10	Maximum slot age before eviction

Methods

• Iterator protocol -- for slot, transactions in listener: yields decoded transactions as they arrive.
• listener.shreds() -- Generator yielding individual ParsedShred objects.
• listener.active_slots() -- Number of slots currently being accumulated.
• listener.stop() -- Closes the UDP socket.

ParsedShred

Field	Type	Description
slot	int	Slot number
index	int	Shred index within the slot
payload	bytes	Raw shred payload (after header)
batch_complete	bool	True if this shred ends an entry batch
last_in_slot	bool	True if this is the last shred in slot

Transaction

Field	Type	Description
signatures	list[bytes]	Raw 64-byte signatures
raw	bytes	Full wire-format transaction bytes
signature	str (property)	First signature as base58 (lazy, via solders)

🎯 Use Cases

ShredStream.com shred data powers a wide range of latency-sensitive strategies — HFT, MEV extraction, token sniping, copy trading, liquidation bots, on-chain analytics, and more.

💎 PumpFun Token Sniping

ShredStream.com SDK detects PumpFun token creations ~499ms before they appear on PumpFun's live feed — tested across 25 consecutive detections:

ShredStream.com provides a complete, optimized PumpFun token creation detection code exclusively to Pro plan subscribers and above. Battle-tested, high-performance, ready to plug into your sniping pipeline. To get access, open a ticket on Discord or reach out on Telegram @shredstream.

⚙️ Configuration

OS Tuning

# Linux -- increase max receive buffer
sudo sysctl -w net.core.rmem_max=33554432

# macOS
sudo sysctl -w kern.ipc.maxsockbuf=33554432

Dependencies

• solders>=0.21 -- Required for base58 signature encoding (tx.signature property). Imported lazily on first access.

💡 Examples

Filter by program

from shredstream import ShredListener
import base58

PUMP_FUN = base58.b58decode("6EF8rrecthR5Dkzon8Nwu78hRvfCKubJ14M5uBEwF6P")

for slot, txs in ShredListener(port=8001):
    for tx in txs:
        if PUMP_FUN in tx.raw:
            print(f"slot {slot}: {tx.signature}")

Raw shred access

from shredstream import ShredListener

listener = ShredListener(port=8001)
for shred in listener.shreds():
    print(f"slot={shred.slot} index={shred.index} len={len(shred.payload)}")
