SOL Shotty is a Solana RPC proxy with a little something "extra".
When running sol-shotty, it will take any RPC request and "shotgun blast" them at every RPC provider configured, only returning the result from the first to respond.
When you need to ensure your transaction goes through no matter what, you can send the same request to many different providers and let the validators sort out which one got there first.
All RPC providers have bad days, sol-shotty helps get faster responses when a single RPC provider is degraded, or even fully down. No reconfiguration required!
Download the most recent release from the releases page.
Decompress the archive and edit the config.yaml file to include the endpoints you wish to use.
You can add as many as you want, including multiple from the same provider.
A lot of providers allow you to sign up with just a web3 wallet, if you have multiple you might be able to sign up multiple times.
After modifying the config run ./sol-shotty (or sol-shotty.exe if on Windows).
SOL Shotty will be listening on http://127.0.0.1:420.
Make sure you have golang installed and then run:
go mod download
go run ./cmd/sol-shottysol-shotty will now be listening on http://127.0.0.1:420 and can be used anywhere an RPC URL is accepted.
This tool was a quick rip of some internal tooling we've built to increase reliability in solan.ai RPC requests.
While we will update it from time to time when we can, we highly encourage PR's if you see a bug or would like additional functionality that isn't here.
If you'd like a feature that isn't here, donations greatly encourage us to prioritize those requests.
