Optimization of Solana RPC calls with a reduced delay
As Solana’s developer, he is aware that it is important to minimize the delay in the application. The Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Mechanism is one of the most critical elements that allows users to be remotely contacted with intelligent contracts. At the same time, even with a well -optimized code, it is often possible to improve in terms of RPC call times.
In this article, we examine the ways to reduce Solana RPC’s call from 200 milliseconds to 600 milliseconds for 1 second.
The current state
Until now, the current proven practice of the phosphorus network (popular Solana network) suggests that RPC calls last for about 1 second. This is a relatively usual value and has been widely discussed among developers.
Reference assessment of results
In order to better understand the optimization of RPC calls, consider some reference valuation results:
- An example on the phosphorus network is the RPC call, which takes about 1 second to use the “Photon-Sol” directory.
- A similar RPC call with optimized code on Solana (using the “Solana-RPC” directory) is solved in about 200 milliseconds.
Why the difference?
The primary reason for this difference is the upper part introduced by the network. When an RPC call is made, it is not only a call to be called a function; There are additional delay factors in the game:
- Network Delay
: Data from customer to the Solana node and return.
- Processing of Transaction : Before the RPC call may continue, the Solana node must process the transaction and enforce its integrity.
Optimization strategies
To reduce the delay in RPC calls, consider the following strategies:
1.
- Complete a unique RPC manager : instead of relying on the built-in “Solana-RPC” directory, you can create a unique operator to take advantage of your own transaction processing logic to optimize the delay.
- Use “Photon-Sol” with a “Solana-VM” : The “Photon-Sol” directory uses a webassembly (WASM) virtual machine that can help reduce delays to the solana node native implementation environment compared to.
Example Code
Here’s an example of how to perform a unique RPC manager using “Solana-RPC”:
`rust
Use Solana_program :: {{
Account_info :: {Next_account_info, AccountInfo},
Entry point,
Msg,
};
Use Solana_RPC :: {Request, Answer};
Entry point! (process_rpc);
fn process_rpc (args: & request) -> Result
// individual logic to optimize RPC delay
Have transaction = account_info :: get_account_by_index (& args.args.account_id) .unwrap ();
// processing the transaction
OK (Answer :: New ())
}
In this example, we create an individual “Process_RPC” feature that is placed in an “Account_ID” argument. The feature processes the transaction with its own logic and returns a “Response”.
Conclusion
Reducing RPC’s call delay at Solana requires some knowledge of network dynamics, optimization strategies and individual implementation techniques. With the exploitation of the “Solana-RPC” directory, the implementation of individual operators, or using optimized libraries such as “Photon-Sol”, it can significantly reduce application delays.
Remember to thoroughly compare the code before making any changes to ensure optimum performance. Happy coding!
