GetBlock's TradeFirst Bundle

GetBlock is packaging its Solana trading tools into TradeFirst, a managed bundle aimed at firms that pay for speed in arbitrage and market making. (getblock.io) On Solana, the race starts with seeing a state change before rivals and ends with getting a transaction into the next block before the opportunity disappears. GetBlock says TradeFirst combines StreamFirst for earlier data and LandFirst for faster transaction delivery in one pre-configured stack. (docs.getblock.io 1) (docs.getblock.io 2) StreamFirst is GetBlock’s low-latency data feed for Solana. The company says it takes raw validator data called “shreds,” rebuilds block data before standard remote procedure call feeds distribute it, and uses an accelerated Yellowstone gRPC setup to move updates faster. (docs.getblock.io) LandFirst is the execution side. GetBlock says it routes orders across three paths at once — its own stake-weighted quality-of-service links, leased stake-weighted links, and the Jito block engine — to improve the odds a trade lands quickly during congestion. (docs.getblock.io) GetBlock’s marketing around the bundle is built on company claims about milliseconds and landing rates. A GetBlock-backed Superteam campaign says StreamFirst is 25 to 30 milliseconds faster than standard Yellowstone gRPC, while LandFirst delivers a 95%+ landing probability and 200 millisecond to 2 second landing times, versus 5 to 10 seconds on standard remote procedure call setups. (superteam.fun) The company is pitching that package to high-frequency traders, maximal extractable value searchers, and arbitrage bots that compete inside Solana’s roughly 400-millisecond block times. GetBlock’s March 6, 2026 product post said its premium tiers include StreamFirst at 10 to 30 milliseconds faster shreds and LandFirst at 90%+ slot-N or slot-N+1 landing. (getblock.io) TradeFirst also fits into a broader Solana push GetBlock has been describing since late 2025. In a January 5, 2026 year-in-review post, the company said it had built an “advanced Solana data instruments stack” after expanding infrastructure across Europe, North America, and Asia in 2025. (getblock.io) GetBlock’s own materials place the bundle above its standard node business on price and service. The Superteam campaign lists TradeFirst at about $4,000 to $5,000 a month for a fully managed setup, and the company’s public site separately lists dedicated Solana nodes starting at $2,560 a month. (superteam.fun) (getblock.io) The return-on-investment numbers circulating on social media are harder to verify independently. A July 2026 X post by Danny Ton repeats GetBlock’s pitch that arbitrage users can clear roughly $4,000 to $5,000 a month, but GetBlock’s public docs and product pages surfaced in search do not publish audited customer results or a methodology for that estimate. (x.com) (docs.getblock.io) (getblock.io) That leaves TradeFirst as a straightforward infrastructure bet: if a trading firm already makes money on Solana spreads, it can outsource the plumbing and buy milliseconds instead of building them. GetBlock is selling that pitch as a managed service, and the proof point now is whether customers can turn the company’s latency claims into repeatable profits. (getblock.io) (docs.getblock.io)
