Information about nodes.

What is a node

Solana nodes are essential for interacting with the Solana blockchain. They provide access to real-time network data and allow bots to execute transactions. Choosing the right node can significantly impact a bot's speed and performance.

Types of nodes

RPC & Websockets

Websockets is a good starting point, but they're slower and less stable than gRPC. So I do not recommend using them at all. If you decide you want to use them, then make sure your node also has a high RPS (Rate limit per second) of at least 200/s.

gRPC

Node that supports gRPC is better. gRPC connection is much more stable, faster and doesn't miss transactions unlike websockets.
