Solana backtesting

Test your strategyon the chain that happened.

Replay the last 24 hours of Solana mainnet through your existing Yellowstone gRPC client. Same protocol, same ordering, 100μs precision. Pay per replay.

Why historical replay

Mainnet is the only honest backtest.

Devnet has no MEV, no congestion, no real adversaries. Custom simulators drift from validator behavior the moment a new program hits a new edge case.

Sillage keeps 24 hours of mainnet — every account write, every transaction, every block — and streams it back through the same protocol your live bot already speaks. The chain that happened, on demand, at the timing it happened.

How it works

Three steps from a live subscription.

  1. 01
    Point your client at a sillage endpoint.

    Same Yellowstone gRPC, same SubscribeRequest, same filters. Sillage speaks the protocol as a server.

  2. 02
    Pass a starting slot from the last 24h.

    The stream begins there and replays at wall-clock speed, intra-slot ordering preserved to 100 microseconds.

  3. 03
    Iterate without burning a streaming plan.

    Pay per replay. Re-run yesterday's window as many times as your tuning loop needs.

Drop-in

yellowstone-grpc-client, unchanged.

Only the endpoint and starting slot change. Your SubscribeRequest, filters, and message handling are untouched.

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

let req = SubscribeRequest {
    // any slot within the last 24 hours
    from_slot: Some(312_847_201),
    transactions: hashmap! {
        "swaps".into() => SubscribeRequestFilterTransactions {
            account_include: vec![JUPITER_V6.into()],
            ..Default::default()
        },
    },
    ..Default::default()
};

let (_, mut stream) =
    client.subscribe_with_request(Some(req)).await?;

while let Some(msg) = stream.next().await {
    handle(msg?);
}
Questions

What people ask before signing up.

How do I get an endpoint?

Join the waitlist. First 100 members unlock a free 24h replay; everyone else gets an endpoint as cohorts open.

Do I need to change my client code?

No. Sillage speaks the Yellowstone gRPC protocol as a server. Point your existing client at the new endpoint and pass a starting slot — your SubscribeRequest, filters, and message handling work as-is.

How accurate is the replay?

Every message carries the timestamp it was received during live capture, preserved to 100 microseconds. Intra-slot ordering, propagation gaps, and the texture of real network time all replay as they happened.

Why a 24-hour window?

From the current chain tip backwards, rolling continuously. The workloads we serve — backtesting, indexing backfill, reorg checks — all live in this window. Beyond 24h, replay stops paying for itself.

How is this different from running my own RPC?

An RPC gives you on-demand queries; it doesn't give you a replayable, time-ordered stream of every account write that happened yesterday. Sillage does, through the protocol your bot is already wired for.

How does this compare to a live Yellowstone provider?

Helius, Triton, and QuickNode all stream the chain forward beautifully. None of them ship 24 hours of history through the same protocol, billed per replay. That's the inverse Sillage was built for.
