Overview
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.
