The replay layerfor Solana.

Record the Geyser stream once. Replay it as many times as you need, through your existing Yellowstone gRPC client, paced to the original wall clock. Apache-2.0.

slot ──────────────────

Every
slot.Everybyte.

Drop-in compatible

Same client. Same proto. Different endpoint.

Sillage speaks the Yellowstone gRPC protocol as a server, unmodified. Anything you've already written against Triton, Helius, or a self-hosted Geyser plugin connects unchanged. Pass a starting slot. The stream begins there.

use yellowstone_grpc_client::GeyserGrpcClient;

let mut client = GeyserGrpcClient::build_from_shared(
    "https://replay.sillage.sh",
)?
    .x_token(Some(token))?
    .connect()
    .await?;

let (_, stream) = client
    .subscribe_with_request(Some(req.from_slot(312_840_000)))
    .await?;
Server-side filters

Filter at the server. Read only what matches.

Yellowstone's pubkey-based filters work unchanged — narrow transactions to specific programs or accounts, narrow account streams to specific owners. Roaring-bitmap indexes resolve the filter before a single compressed byte is decoded.

Subscription with filters
let req = SubscribeRequest {
    transactions: hashmap! {
        "swaps".to_owned() => SubscribeRequestFilterTransactions {
            vote: Some(false),
            failed: Some(false),
            account_include: vec![JUPITER_V6.into()],
            ..Default::default()
        },
    },
    accounts: hashmap! {
        "pools".to_owned() => SubscribeRequestFilterAccounts {
            owner: vec![RAYDIUM_AMM.into()],
            ..Default::default()
        },
    },
    ..Default::default()
};
Wall-clock precise

Replayed at the speed it happened.

Every message carries the timestamp it was received, to 100 microseconds. A transaction that landed 24.3ms into its slot replays 24.3ms into that slot. Intra-slot ordering, propagation gaps, the texture of real network time — all preserved.

Full firehose

Three core streams. Replayed identically.

Every message your live subscription receives is recorded and replayed identically. No sampling. No summaries. No schema translation.

By the numbers

A specification, not a feature list.

Tests
0passing, in CI

Every push runs fmt, clippy at -D warnings, and the full suite — including a producer built from the format spec alone.

Commitment levels
0confirmed, finalized

Processed-commitment messages aren't stored — too ephemeral to be useful at replay time.

Filter resolution
μsbefore disk read

Roaring bitmap indexes over programs, accounts, and signatures, resolved before message bytes are touched.

Storage
Zstdblock-compressed

Range-fetchable from persistent storage. A filtered replay reads only the bytes it matches.

Among the alternatives

Replay-first. Not replay as a tier.

The other providers all stream the live chain beautifully. Sillage ships the inverse: the stream as it was delivered, recorded and played back through the same protocol — and you can run the whole thing yourself.

Use cases

Built for workloads that need the same input twice.

Backtesting

Replay a recorded window through your strategy. Tune PnL against real mainnet traffic without holding a live subscription open.

Indexing

Backfill a new index from any slot inside a window you have recorded. No re-sync from snapshot.

Research

Query historical flow patterns. Same Yellowstone protocol, replayed as many times as the question needs.

Reorg recovery

Replay a window from before the reorg to verify state — no need to keep raw history yourself.

Get started

Run it yourself, or try the live endpoint.

Sillage is Apache-2.0 and self-hostable end to end. Record your own window from any Geyser source, or point an unmodified client at the demo endpoint to see replay working before you set anything up.

Path 1

Clone and build

Rust stable and a checkout. Point the writer at any Geyser source to record, then serve the result back with the reader.

git clone https://github.com/sunkuu7/sillage
cd sillage && cargo build --release
Path 2

Use the live endpoint

replay.sillage.sh serves a recorded mainnet window over TLS. Change the URL in a Yellowstone client you already have and it works unmodified.

new Client("https://replay.sillage.sh", token, {})
Path 3Soon

Container images

Published images for the reader and writer, so a replaying endpoint is one command with no toolchain to install.
