Lantern - Local Solana RPC

Lantern: The fastest local Solana RPC. Run your own high-performance Solana node with minimal latency. Available for macOS, Linux, and Docker.

Lantern is a local Solana RPC cache powered by FluxRPC data. It can serve selected account-state reads locally for very low latency while forwarding unsupported or uncached requests upstream.

Local cache for frequent Solana account reads

Lantern streams updates for the programs you configure, keeps selected account state local, and answers supported requests from that local cache when possible.

Built for low-latency and high-throughput workloads

FluxRPC docs describe Lantern response times around 0.1-0.25ms for common cached reads and local throughput above 10,000 requests per second in test conditions.

Uses FluxRPC as its data source

Lantern still relies on FluxRPC for upstream data and synchronization. That means your cost model remains tied to FluxRPC bandwidth while cached reads can reduce repeated upstream calls.
