Optimizing Transactions
QuickNode provides several tools and best practices for optimizing your Solana transactions. Here are some key strategies:
Priority Fees
Use QuickNode's Priority Fee API to estimate optimal fees for your transactions:
curl https://docs-demo.solana-mainnet.quiknode.pro/ \
-X POST \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "x-qn-api-version: 1" \
--data '{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"id": 1,
"method": "qn_estimatePriorityFees",
"params": {
"last_n_blocks": 100,
"account": "JUP6LkbZbjS1jKKwapdHNy74zcZ3tLUZoi5QNyVTaV4",
"api_version": 2
}
}'Compute Unit Optimization
Optimize compute units by simulating transactions before sending:
const testTransaction = new Transaction().add(testInstruction);
const simulation = await connection.simulateTransaction(testTransaction, {
replaceRecentBlockhash: true,
sigVerify: false,
});
const targetComputeUnitsAmount = simulation.value.unitsConsumed;Additional Optimization Strategies
- Use transaction simulation to set accurate compute unit limits
- Consider using Jito Bundles for complex operations
- Implement proper transaction confirmation logic
- Monitor network conditions and adjust fees accordingly
