When Solana gets busy, apps get less delightful.
It becomes increasingly difficult to land transactions, slowing down the user experience and forcing builders into a repetitive, manual optimization process.
We’ve felt it at Sanctum too many times. So alongside the Ironforge team (recently acquired by Sanctum), we built the tool we always wanted: a way to fine-tune transaction delivery that works seamlessly under pressure (and feels like this).
Meet Gateway, the transaction control center that gives teams unrivaled control over how their Solana transactions are executed. Whether you're running a stablecoin yield application, a trading platform, a DePIN protocol, or anything in between, Gateway helps you prioritize optimization and reliability. It’s the essential infrastructure to keep things running smoothly, even when networks get congested.
Gateway At A Glance
Before diving deeper, let’s review a quick Gateway benefits summary.
For Your Users:
- Automatic priority fee: Users avoid paying extra priority fees as Gateway automatically assigns the compute units for the transaction and budget based on the network.
- Improved landing rates: With simultaneous delivery of transactions to various delivery channels, Gateway ensures that the transaction has the best chances of landing, even in times of congestion.
- Jito Refunds: You can set a delivery delay between RPC and Jito delivery types to ensure transactions are sent to RPC first. If the transactions are indeed delivered using RPC methods, the tip is refunded back to the user, saving them the Jito tip.
For Your Team:
- Enhanced observability: Real-time transaction monitoring and customizable parameters in the dashboard.
- Complete control over transactions: Adjust how transactions are optimized and delivered without having to modify any code.
- Debug in real-time: Gateway’s logs feature allows you to check and debug transactions to fix edge cases, etc.
Gateway In Action
Gateway introduces a streamlined approach to landing transactions on Solana via two stages: Optimize and Delivery.
In Optimize, our API turns raw payloads into ready-to-send transactions. In Delivery, we route transactions to the network through multiple channels, including RPCs, Triton Cascade, Paladin, Jito Bundles, and more, significantly increasing the likelihood of your transactions landing on the network.
Gateway simplifies complex priority fees and Jito tips, allowing dynamic, code-free configuration, and can even refund Jito tips if your transaction is processed via RPC.
Building on the robust visibility and observability you've come to expect from Ironforge, Gateway offers real-time transaction monitoring and customizable parameters, allowing you to address any potential issues proactively and directly from our intuitive dashboard.
And the best part? Gateway is designed for longevity.
Integrate once, optimize anytime.
After the initial setup, teams get full-stack transaction observability, incident response, and execution management in one place—no code changes required.
With a single fetch request, Gateway can simulate transactions to get compute unit usage, calculate fees, bundle payloads, and adjust delivery strategies.
It transforms each transaction into a fully prepared, sign-and-send-ready payload, cutting down engineering bottlenecks and helping teams build faster and with greater confidence.
Who Should Use Gateway?
Gateway delivers the edge required to succeed at scale. It’s built for:
- Protocols that need reliable transaction inclusion during peak hours
- Teams optimizing fee efficiency without manual tuning
- Developers seeking production-grade observability
- Any Solana project that relies on precision and uptime
If your product depends on getting transactions through the network, Gateway gets you there smarter and faster.
