🌊 Streams

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

🔧 How Streams Work

When you create a stream, you choose a duration, select a region, and configure your connection endpoint (IP address + port). After payment, ShredStream.com provisions your stream and begins delivering raw Solana shreds to your configured destination over UDP.

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

⚙️ Stream Management

From your Dashboard, you can:

• Create a new stream -- choose a duration, region, and connection, 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.
