Get StartedThe Jito ShredStream Alternative: AllenHark Jito Shreds
Jito is switching off its ShredStream feed on September 5, 2026. AllenHark Jito Shreds is the live, maintained drop-in replacement — we run a kill-switch-free fork of Jito's own shredstream-proxy (public repo) and the gateway it talks to. Keep your existing keypair, register your pubkey, and repoint --block-engine-url. Nothing else in your pipeline changes.
Keep running shredstream-proxy and your existing keypair.
Jito Shreds is our purpose-built, live drop-in replacement — register your pubkey, repoint --block-engine-url, done. No socket or parser changes. Full setup steps are in the docs, and the migration guide walks through the whole cutover.
What stops on September 5, 2026
Jito posted its ShredStream deprecation notice in early July 2026 and recommends migrating to DoubleZero Edge. After September 5, Jito's own shredstream-proxy binary refuses to start. Shreds themselves are not going away — only Jito's delivery of them — so migrating is an endpoint swap, not a re-architecture. AllenHark maintains a kill-switch-free fork of the proxy and the gateway it talks to, so your socket and deshredding code stay exactly as they are.
AllenHark vs Jito ShredStream vs DoubleZero
| Provider | Status | Protocol | Setup | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AllenHark Jito Shreds | Live | shredstream-proxy fork (drop-in) | Register pubkey, repoint --block-engine-url | $50/mo, 24h free trial |
| Jito ShredStream | Discontinued Sept 5, 2026 | gRPC / UDP via proxy | Proxy process + keypair approval | Free (ending) |
| DoubleZero Edge | Live (Jito's recommended path) | Shreds feed | Migration required | $1,000+/mo |
Jito's recommended path, DoubleZero Edge, costs upward of $1,000 a month. AllenHark Jito Shreds delivers the same drop-in feed for $50 — over 20x cheaper — because we believe shreds should stay within reach of every Solana team, not just the largest operators. Keeping this infrastructure affordable is how we support the Solana ecosystem.
Migrate in four steps
- 1
Register your keypair's pubkey
Sign in to the AllenHark console, open Jito Shreds, and submit your existing keypair's public key for whitelisting. You keep the same keypair your shredstream-proxy already authenticates with — no new key to generate.
- 2
Install the AllenHark proxy fork
Clone and build allenhark-shredstream-proxy — a kill-switch-free fork of Jito's shredstream-proxy that we maintain. Same CLI flags, same auth flow, no forced shutdown date.
- 3
Point --block-engine-url at AllenHark
Repoint your proxy's --block-engine-url flag at the AllenHark gateway endpoint shown in your console dashboard. Your socket and deshredding code are untouched.
- 4
Go live before September 5, 2026
Confirm shreds are flowing on the AllenHark endpoint, then cut over from Jito ahead of the shutdown date. AllenHark's proxy keeps running after Jito's own binary refuses to start.
Full walkthrough with commands and flags: see the setup & migration docs or the migration guide.
$50/month for AllenHark Jito Shreds
One plan, pubkey-whitelisted, billed monthly, with a 24-hour free trial so you can confirm shreds are flowing before you subscribe. See full pricing or the Jito Shreds product page.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a Jito ShredStream alternative?
Yes. AllenHark Jito Shreds is a live, maintained drop-in replacement for Jito's ShredStream feed, which shuts down September 5, 2026. You keep your existing shredstream-proxy binary and keypair — register your pubkey, repoint --block-engine-url at the AllenHark gateway, and nothing else in your pipeline changes.
When does Jito ShredStream shut down?
Jito announced it is discontinuing ShredStream on September 5, 2026 (deprecation notice posted in early July 2026). After that date, Jito's own shredstream-proxy refuses to start, so you need a maintained alternative before then.
How do I migrate off Jito ShredStream?
Register your keypair's pubkey in the AllenHark console, install the AllenHark shredstream-proxy fork, repoint --block-engine-url at the AllenHark gateway, and go live before September 5. See the full setup and migration reference in the docs.
Jito ShredStream was free — why pay for shreds now?
Jito's feed is being switched off, so a free Jito feed is no longer an option after September 5, 2026. Jito's own recommended path, DoubleZero Edge, costs upward of $1,000 a month. AllenHark Jito Shreds is $50/month — over 20x cheaper — pubkey-whitelisted, with a 24-hour free trial to confirm shreds are flowing before you subscribe.
How does AllenHark compare to DoubleZero Edge, Jito's recommended path?
Jito points users to DoubleZero Edge, which runs upward of $1,000 a month. AllenHark Jito Shreds delivers the same drop-in shred feed for $50/month — over 20x cheaper — with no re-architecture. We keep it affordable on purpose: shreds should stay within reach of every Solana team, not just the largest operators. Keeping this infrastructure accessible is how we support the Solana ecosystem.
How much does AllenHark Jito Shreds cost?
AllenHark Jito Shreds is $50/month, one plan, pubkey-whitelisted, billed monthly. A 24-hour free trial lets you verify the migration end-to-end before you commit to a paid plan.
Do I still need a keypair or proxy like Jito's ShredStream?
Yes, and that's the point — AllenHark Jito Shreds is a drop-in replacement, not a re-architecture. You keep running shredstream-proxy (our maintained fork) and your existing keypair; only the --block-engine-url endpoint changes.
I don't want to change my socket code — can I keep running shredstream-proxy?
Yes. That's exactly what AllenHark Jito Shreds is built for: keep the shredstream-proxy binary and your existing keypair, register the keypair's pubkey in the console to get whitelisted, and repoint --block-engine-url at the AllenHark gateway. See the docs for the full setup walkthrough.
