High-speed blockchain distribution for fast trading

Overview

bloXroute runs a high-speed blockchain distribution network to share transactions and data across networks such as Ethereum, BSC, and Polygon, helping traders and DApps see prices sooner, send private transactions, and execute trades faster. It achieves speed by propagating transactions 50-400 milliseconds faster than other services, and up to about two seconds faster in total, with an option for a private China link. The company also offers scalability improvements like reducing forks, increasing block size, and data compression, plus frontrunning protection to reduce unfair advantages. Its goal is to help clients improve trading performance through fast data, private connectivity, and scalable network infrastructure for individuals and enterprises.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Solana Firedancer upgrade in Q3 2026 boosts demand for Shreds and OFR services.
  • Ethereum Pectra upgrade on May 7, 2026, enhances Validator Gateway for 30K validators.
  • Base TVL surges 45% to $3.2B in Q1 2026, increasing Flashblocks adoption.

What critics are saying

  • Flashbots relay handles 90% of Ethereum blocks, diverting bloXroute propagation revenue.
  • Manifold Trading beats Solana shred speeds by 150ms, causing Trader API defections.
  • Jito v1.18 bundles free Solana data feeds, commoditizing OFR and Shreds pricing.

What makes bloXroute Labs unique

  • Solana Trader API uses multi-path submission via Jito, Paladin, and propagation channels.
  • Leader scoring avoids high-risk validator slots to prevent sandwich attacks.
  • Global Endpoint outperforms Base sequencer endpoints with p50 block position of 1.

Built to scale: bloXroute's new pricing model.

Built to scale: bloXroute's new pricing model. Mar 17, 2026 bloXroute Team Pricing should adapt to teams, not the other way around. As trading strategies evolve and activity becomes increasingly multi-chain, rigid subscription tiers stop making sense. Teams don't scale in straight lines; they experiment and optimize with service credits and capabilities. Your cost structure should reflect that reality. Today, bloXroute Labs is introducing a new pricing model designed around how teams actually operate: modular services, flexible configurations, and predictable savings. The vision: flexible, predictable, scalable. Over the years, bloXroute Labs has worked with traders, searchers, validators, and high-performance teams operating across Ethereum, BSC, Base, Solana, and more. One pattern is clear: Teams do not scale by moving from one service tier to the next. They scale by adding modular capabilities. Rigid subscription tiers force customers into pre-packaged quantities that rarely match real usage. As teams become more sophisticated, fixed bundles begin to break: * You need more mempool capacity, but not more gateways. * You need Solana data, but not expanded EVM tracing. * You want to experiment on Base without restructuring your entire plan. What's different * More flexibility. Select only the services you need, per chain. * More control. Add, remove, or modify services directly in the portal. * More predictability. Extend your contract term to lock in discounted pricing. What stays the same * Ultra-low latency performance * Reliable propagation and data delivery * Access to the bloXroute BDN across supported chains This is not a change to performance or reliability. It's a change to how you configure and pay for it. What's changing. 1. From tiers to services. bloXroute Labs is shifting from subscription-based tiers to a modular services model. Previously, customers selected a bundle (e.g., Enterprise, Elite, Ultra) that grouped multiple services together at fixed quantities. Now, you can configure your infrastructure stack directly: * Add a Gateway for transaction propagation * Subscribe to Mempool, Blocks, or Receipts streams * Enable Base Flashblocks or state diff streams * Increase Solana Trader API capacity * Add tracing, simulations, or private regional routing You build the stack that fits your strategy, not the other way around. For teams that prefer simplicity, its Enterprise, Elite, and Ultra bundles still exist. These curated packages combine high-demand services at significant cost savings compared to purchasing individually. If a bundled approach fits your needs, those options remain available. You can view the available bundles and full service catalog here: 2. Free Transactions on All Supported Chains All users can now send transactions on supported chains at no base cost. * Standard network fees and validator tips still apply. * Solana Trader API rate limits still apply based on your plan and add-ons, with optional capacity upgrades available. This allows anyone to start building immediately, then layer in additional performance and data services as their needs grow. At time of launch, bloXroute supports eight (8) chains: Solana, BSC, Base, Ethereum, Hyperliquid, Monad, TON, and X Layer. 3. Term-Based Savings For teams that value cost savings and predictability, bloXroute Labs has introduced commitment-based discounts. Extend your contract term to reduce your effective monthly cost, lock in pricing, and improve budget predictability. Short-term flexibility remains available. Long-term commitment unlocks additional savings. What This means for existing customers. If you're currently on an Enterprise, Elite, or Ultra subscription: * Your subscription will be recreated as a service bundle. * There will be no price increase. * There will be no service disruption. Your access, performance, and capacity remain unchanged. You can now add or modify services directly within the portal. Existing subscriptions include special bundle pricing, so modifying core services may affect pricing. For Professional tier customers, your services will be recreated in the portal. This bundle will not be offered in the future, but there are no immediate changes. At renewal, you can continue a-la-carte or modify your services as needed. If you would like help optimizing your setup under the new model, its team is happy to assist. Why This matters. Modern blockchain infrastructure is multi-chain, latency-sensitive, and increasingly specialized. Your cost structure should evolve with it. This update gives you: * Modular control * Transparent pricing * Commitment-based savings * The same performance and reliability you depend on A model built to scale with your strategy. bloXroute Team bloXroute Labs is a leading blockchain software company.
