Breakpoint recap: Triton One in under 2 minutes 🌊

Breakpoint recap: Triton One in under 2 minutes 🌊

If you're reading this, we probably just met at Solana Breakpoint. Maybe it was at MEV Day, a validator talk, or in a noisy hallway between panels.

We know conferences can be a blur of information, which is why we wanted to give you a simple recap of who we are, what we're really good at, and how you can try Triton without committing to an enterprise contract.

TL;DR

  • Triton runs high-performance, globally distributed, premium bare-metal Solana infrastructure that the most demanding Solana teams already rely on.
  • With us, you can run on shared RPC endpoints, dedicated nodes or hybrid setups, delegate SOL for weekly USDC payouts, spin up a white label validator, and plug into a full stack of streaming, indexing, advanced APIs and transaction tooling.
  • We care about openness above everything. Open source, open opportunity, open community. The tools we build are meant to push Solana forward and become ecosystem standards, not lock-ins.
  • To walk the talk, we moved to even more transparent and fair usage-based pricing around 2 real cost drivers instead of confusing credits and rigid bundles, opening up our premium infrastructure to every serious builder out there.
  • Get an endpoint starting with a $25 prepaid balance, or talk to our BD if you have custom requirements.

🦕 Who we are (the short version)

If you're newer to Solana or just heard of Triton at Breakpoint, here's the short version.

On Solana before Solana. Triton has been building on Solana since testnet, as one of the original validators on the network. Many of the low-level tools the ecosystem relies on were shipped and are still maintained by Triton engineers.

Authors and maintainers. Triton authored Project Yellowstone, co-authored the Old Faithful archive, and is a major contributor to 100+ open-source projects such as the DAS API. We have also authored or sponsored most of the advanced streaming solutions out there.

More than basic RPC. You get parsed gRPC, persistent and real-time ledger streaming, custom gPA indexes, an SWQoS bandwidth marketplace, and validator block and allow lists. 

Cost-efficient at scale. Because you only pay for what you use, a $125 subscription with us can support query and bandwidth volumes that might require $499 or higher tiers with more rigid providers, especially for heavy workloads.

đź“Ť Where to find us at Breakpoint

December 9

  • MEV Day at 9:25 am, Brian is doing an intro to MEV Day.
  • Breakout room session at 2 pm with Linus.

December 10

  • Block Zero at 12:00 pm, Brian is moderating a panel, "Hot Takes Only".
  • Breakout room session at 3:30 pm with Linus about making TPU & TVU great again and improving and securing validator networking services.

All the other days

  • Side events, hallways, cafeteria(usually glued to the coffee stand).

If you see a purple t-shirt, Crocs, or someone talking about Project Yellowstone, Alpamayo, and Old Faithful, that's probably us. Don’t be a stranger.

🚀 Building something great on MVP infrastructure?

Some of the most interesting teams we meet are still on public RPC, running serious ideas on “good enough for now” infrastructure. If that sounds familiar, this part is for you.

If you're:

  • Building something that will push Solana forward
  • Still on public endpoints or very basic infrastructure
  • Considering closed-source providers because they seem more affordable and promise fast GTM

Text Steve with a short note about what you’re building and how it’ll push Solana forward. If it’s a fit, we’ll help you bootstrap on our open-source stack or even provide a sponsored endpoint while you’re still building.

⚡ Ready to upgrade your RPC infrastructure?

Here's how to go from “we met at Breakpoint” to “we're live on Triton”.

Get your endpoint. Start with a $25 prepaid balance (special offer until Dec 31). It covers the data you consume across supported chains and services and doesn’t expire.

Build on PAYG first to estimate the needs. You pay for 2 cost drivers: bandwidth and compute complexity. No CU tables, bundles, or overage traps.

Enjoy enterprise-grade reliability. Get the same speed, consistency and uptime the biggest Solana players rely on, whether you are a solo dev or an institution.

Enjoy the rest of Breakpoint, and if you want your infrastructure to be the part you never worry about, you know where to find us.
