The Arqion platform is built on a modular four-layer architecture designed for scalability, reliability, and low-latency Solana interactions.
Accepts user requests through a globally distributed edge network. Load-balanced lightweight proxies handle authentication, rate limiting, and initial request validation before routing to the execution layer. Geographic routing ensures minimal latency to the nearest processing node.
The core transaction processing engine. Handles transaction simulation, compute estimation, and Sealevel-optimized parallel processing. Pre-flight checks validate transactions before network submission, and intelligent retry logic handles transient failures automatically.
Distributed workers continuously consume ledger data from Solana validators. Account state is normalized and stored in a query-optimized format for sub-millisecond access. Real-time event streaming pushes account changes to subscribed clients instantly.
Comprehensive telemetry and observability. Captures detailed metrics on transaction performance, RPC latency, and program activity. Structured logs enable debugging and audit trails for all platform interactions.
Deep integration with Solana's ecosystem and development tools.
Seamlessly switch between mainnet-beta, testnet, and devnet. Unified API across all Solana networks with environment-aware configuration.
Automatically fetch and parse IDLs from on-chain program accounts. Generate type-safe clients without manual configuration.
On-chain program schema generation for account deserialization. Automatic type inference from deployed program code.
Understanding how requests flow through the Arqion platform.
1. RPC Request: Client submits transaction or query through the ingress layer.
2. Leader Analysis: System analyzes current leader schedule and slot timing.
3. Optimized Routing: Request is routed to the optimal validator endpoint.
4. Simulation: Transaction is simulated to verify execution and compute budget.
5. Execution: Validated transaction is submitted to the network.
6. Telemetry: Metrics and logs are captured for observability.
Defense-in-depth security model protecting your keys, transactions, and data.
Private keys are stored and processed within hardware security modules. Key material never leaves the secure enclave boundary, even during signing operations.
All simulation results are cryptographically signed by the execution environment. Verify that simulation outputs haven't been tampered with before making decisions.
Granular permission system for API access. Create keys with specific capabilities: read-only, simulation-only, or full transaction signing authority.
Request routing incorporates reputation scoring and anomaly detection. Suspicious patterns trigger automatic protective measures without impacting legitimate traffic.
