This package uses the min required dependencies to send transactions to Solana leaders.
Note: This service does not handle preflight checks, and also doesn't validate blockhashes before sending to leader
The service has the following envs:
RUST_LOG - Log level for the service. Default is info
RPC_URL - RPC url used to fetch next leaders with getSlotLeaders
GRPC_URL - Yellowstone GRPC Geyser url used to stream latest slots and blocks. Slots tell us what to call getSlotLeaders with, blocks tell us if the txns we've sent were sent successfully.
X_TOKEN - token used to authenticate with the grpc url
TPU_CONNECTION_POOL_SIZE - Number of leaders to cache connections to, and send transactions to. Default (5)
TXN_SEND_RETRY_INTERVAL - Interval to retry sending transactions (in seconds)
NUM_LEADERS - Number of leaders to send transactions to (Default 5)
TXN_SENDER_THREADS - Number of threads to send transactions with. Default is 4
MAX_TXN_SEND_RETRIES - Number of times to retry sending a transaction before giving up. Default is 5
LEADER_OFFSET - Offset of the leader schedule. Default is 0.
IDENTITY_KEYPAIR_FILE - Path to the keypair file. If this is a validator key it will use a staked connection to connect to leaders.
PORT - Port to run the service on. Default is 4040.
sudo apt-get install libssl-dev libudev-dev pkg-config zlib1g-dev llvm clang cmake make libprotobuf-dev protobuf-compiler
set the above envs and install dependencies, then run cargo run --release.
Deploying the service with ansible will setup a systemd service with haproxy so that you can access the service over port 80. It will also install datadog for metrics.
First you need to install the datadog role with the following command
ansible-galaxy install datadog.datadog
Then you need to update the file ansible/inventory/hosts.yml with the name/ip address/user of the server you want to deploy to.
Then you need to set these in the ansible/deploy_atlas_txn_sender.yml file
rpc_url
grpc_url
x_token
datadog_api_key
datadog_site
Then you can run the following command to deploy the service
ansible-playbook -i ansible/inventory/hosts.yml ansible/deploy_atlas_txn_sender.yml
