On June 19, Everstake, a leading non-custodial staking platform on Solana, announced the launch of Blockspace.

Everstake has been operating validators on the Solana blockchain since the launch of the testnet days, and it is currently holding around 7.5 million SOL tokens in direct staking. Blockspace will package advanced Solana infrastructure into a two-sided marketplace. It will connect validators on the supply side with searchers, traders, DeFi protocols, and order-flow operators on the demand side.
Blockspace is expected to resolve a major problem on the Solana blockchain network, as many transactions fail before they reach a block. These failures can occur at several stages, including during RPC communication, QUIC handshakes, transaction scheduling by validators, or when transactions use stable blockhashes. Such issues become especially common during periods of heavy network congestion.
Everstake has developed internal tools to resolve these issues for its operations, and it is now providing users with new products through the Blockspace platform.
Everstake Blockspace Opens Validator-Grade Infrastructure to All
Blockspace is currently providing 4 different products in order to target different points of failure in the transactions on the Solana.
- ShredStream – The Blockspace service will provide Solana shreds directly from network leaders before the block is confirmed. These are the atomic data units of blocks. It will provide a single-digit millisecond advantage over public RPCs. This service is now available in six regions. This service comes with a different shared option known as Connect and a dedicated option called Ultra. This ShredStream is developed for trading bots, market makers, and validators.
- Direct Shreds – Everstake’s new Blockspace will provide a premium service known as Priority, which will provide an IP-isolated feed for ultra-low jitter. This service is expected to provide approximately 3 milliseconds of latency at the 50th percentile.
- Stake-Weighted Quality of Service – The service will provide priority routing by using the Everstake validator stake. It will allow users to bypass the need to hold around 15,000 SOL tokens to keep their transactions a priority.“When a Solana validator builds a block, it processes transactions in stake-weighted order. SWQOS carries a tip instruction inside each transaction that bumps its priority within that ordering, producing a higher landing rate during congestion than public RPCs achieve,” stated in the blog post.
4. Relayer + TPU Adapter – It will target MEV opportunities with a memepool-like relayer.
Apart from this, Blockspace will also offer a self-serve option, where it will allow users to join the service without requiring a credit card.
Solana is already known for its high throughput with 65,000 transactions per second. However, during the congestion on the network, public RPC and unstaked paths face issues like dropped transactions. Blockspace is planning to address these issues by creating validator-grade infrastructure. It will turn existing validator resources into monetizable assets without requiring validators to create their own sales teams.
In the last few months, the Solana network has been witnessing growth in its on-chain activities. The rise in the on-chain activities comes after a boom in new concepts like tokenization and stablecoin. According to DeFiLlama, the total value locked in DeFi is currently around $4.84 billion. The stablecoin market cap on Solana is revolving around $15.165 billion, while the real-world asset’s active market cap is around $1.79 billion.
Despite the growing user activity on the network, SOL price is still struggling to gain momentum due to ongoing turmoil in the overall crypto market. At the time of writing this, SOL is trading at around $72 with a spike of 4% on a daily chart, according to CoinMarketCap. The cryptocurrency currently holds a market capitalization of around $41.75 billion.
