Introduction
Trading Boost uses Tips Mode to help your transactions get confirmed faster on the Solana network.
Overview
Solana Trading Boost is ZAN's transaction acceleration service for Solana. Through Stake-Weighted Quality of Service (SWQoS) mechanisms and Jito Block Engine integration, it helps developers significantly improve transaction success rates and confirmation speeds.
Key Advantages
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| SWQoS Priority Channel | Access dedicated bandwidth through ZAN's staked validator nodes, with transactions prioritized for block space |
| Jito Integration | Native support for Jito Bundle and MEV protection, covering 95%+ of Solana's staked volume |
| Ultra-low Latency | 95% of transactions complete on-chain confirmation within 1 second |
| MEV Protection | Prevents front-running and sandwich attacks via Jito's private transaction channels — free and optional |
| Pay-for-Success | Tips are only consumed when transactions successfully reach the chain; no charges for failed acceleration |
| Multi-region Deployment | Nodes in Singapore, Hong Kong, Germany, and North America for global proximity access |
Use Cases
- DeFi Trading: Swaps, liquidity operations, lending liquidations requiring fast confirmation
- NFT Minting: Improves success rates during high-concurrency minting events
- Arbitrage Bots: Time-sensitive automated trading with extreme latency requirements
- Large Transfers: High-value transactions requiring MEV protection
Pricing Model
Trading Boost uses a Tips model — you include a SOL transfer as a bid for priority acceleration. Higher tips result in higher priority. Tips are only deducted when transactions successfully reach the chain; failed acceleration incurs no fees. For details, see Tips Mode Integration Guide and Pricing & Billing .
SWQoS Explained
What is SWQoS?
Stake-Weighted Quality of Service is a native Solana network mechanism. Core principles:
Solana validators receive transaction processing quotas proportional to their stake
Validators with higher stake enjoy higher priority when submitting transactions to the current block leader
Transactions submitted through high-stake validators have a greater chance of being included in blocks
How ZAN Leverages SWQoS
Your transaction → ZAN Trading Boost API → ZAN Staked Validator Node → Solana Leader → Chain Confirmation
ZAN operates its own high-stake validator nodes. When you submit transactions through Trading Boost endpoints:
Transactions are routed to ZAN's staked validator nodes
With the node's stake weight, transactions receive prioritized processing quotas
Combined with Jito Block Engine, further optimizes transaction positioning within blocks
SWQoS vs. Traditional RPC
| Dimension | Standard RPC | Trading Boost (SWQoS) |
|---|---|---|
| Transaction Routing | Public mempool, no priority | Dedicated channel through staked validators |
| On-chain Speed | Depends on network congestion | Priority processing guaranteed by stake weight |
| Success Rate | Significantly drops during peak periods | Consistently high success rate |
| MEV Protection | None | Optional Jito private channels |
