High-Precision Entry Timestamps for Solana

The Problem

Solana blocks show transaction order (tx_idx), but not the moment each transaction actually arrived. Blocks occur every ~400ms, but trading decisions happen in milliseconds. You can't compare Solana timing with Binance or HyperLiquid. You can't measure real propagation delays.

Our Solution

We record nanosecond‑precision timestamps at the moment transactions reach our shred receiver in Amsterdam. This enables sub‑block timing for MEV research, cross‑venue analysis, and latency optimization.

How We Do It

A lock‑free architecture monitors Geyser entry streams from Amsterdam. The main thread writes timestamps with zero contention for maximum precision. A worker pool handles block matching and database storage in parallel. Clean, fast, and reliable.

What You Get

• Database access to every Solana transaction, timestamped to the nanosecond (Amsterdam time; apply offsets for your location).

• Compare on‑chain vs. CEX execution.

• Measure real latency.

• Analyze propagation patterns.

• Build microstructure models with actual timing data, not approximations.
