ping-things-rs

A small benchmarking tool for Solana transaction sends.

What it is

ping-things-rs is a small benchmarking tool based on ping-thing-client, designed for sending transactions on the Solana blockchain. It helps users evaluate the performance and throughput of rpc providers sends by sending similar transactions to multiple rpcs at the same time as provided in config.yaml

How to Run

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/Astralane/ping-things-rs.git
cd ping-things-rs

Build the project:

RUST_LOG=info cargo build --release

Run the benchmark:

./target/release/ping-things-rs

How to Configure

The configuration is managed via a config.yaml file. Below is an example of what this file looks like:

rpc :
  "solana-public" :
    url: "https://api.mainnet-beta.solana.com"
    rpc_type: "solanarpc"

txns_per_run: 2
txn_delay: 2
runs: 2
http_rpc: "http://api.mainnet-beta.solana.com"
ws_rpc: "wss://api.mainnet-beta.solana.com"
keypair_dir: "/Users/<user>/.config/solana/id.json"
compute_unit_price: 0
compute_unit_limit: 450
verbose_log: false
tip: 1000000

Configuration Options

• rpc: RPC endpoints for the Solana cluster.
  • url: endpoint for the rpc
  • rpc_type: type of endpoint can be one of: "solanarpc", "jito", "blockxroute"
  • auth: auth header for for sending transaction, used in "blockxroute"
• txns_per_run: Number of transactions per run.
• txn_delay: Delay between transactions in seconds.
• runs: Number of runs to execute.
• http_rpc: RPC endpoint used for reading on chain data, eg: recent_blockhash
• ws_rpc: RPC endpoint for subscribing to transaction updates
• keypair_dir: Path to the keypair file.
• compute_unit_price: Price per compute unit.
• compute_unit_limit: Limit of compute units.
• verbose_log: Enable verbose logging.
• tip: attach tips for jito and blockxroute transactions
