Solana Copytrading RPC Requirements: What Actually Affects Latency

RPC and streaming requirements for detecting and executing Solana copy trades before signals decay.

Detection path

Polling address history is slow. WebSocket, Geyser or Yellowstone feeds reduce detection delay and support larger watchlists.

Execution path

Measure quote latency, simulation, blockhash freshness, submission and confirmation separately.

Redundancy

Use independent providers for ingestion and submission where practical. A shared failure domain defeats failover.

Business metric

Optimize follower price and landing rate, not a synthetic ping. Fast detection is useless when risk checks or routing are stale.
