🌊 Streams

A stream delivers Solana shreds over UDP to your server in a specific region. Each stream has its own plan, region, duration, and set of connections. You can manage multiple streams from your Dashboard.

🔧 How Streams Work

When you create a stream, you choose a plan, select a region, and configure one or more connection endpoints (IP address + port). After payment, ShredStream.com provisions your stream and begins delivering shreds to your configured destinations. Shreds arrive as 1203-byte UDP packets containing raw Solana shred data.

Each stream runs independently. You can have multiple streams in different regions, on different plans, with different expiration dates.

⚙️ Stream Management

From your Dashboard, you can:

• Create a new stream -- choose a plan, region, and duration, then pay to activate.
• Monitor stream status -- see whether your stream is active, provisioning, expired, or terminated.
• Renew or extend -- add time to an existing stream before or after it expires.
• Delete a stream -- permanently remove an inactive stream from your dashboard.
