Yellowstone Proto and Versioning

Pin Yellowstone client versions and keep generated code aligned with the server schema.

Yellowstone request and response fields follow the upstream geyser.proto.

Source

Use the proto from the official yellowstone-grpc repository.

Keep these files together:

  • geyser.proto
  • solana-storage.proto
  • Required Google protobuf files

Pin a release

Do not pull the repository default branch during a production build.

  1. Pick an upstream release.
  2. Pin the SDK to the matching release.
  3. Store the proto commit in your dependency manifest.
  4. Regenerate clients in a controlled upgrade.
  5. Run subscription fixtures before deployment.

Reflection

The NoLimitNodes Yellowstone endpoint does not provide dependable server reflection.

Pass a local proto to grpcurl:

grpcurl \  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY" \  -import-path ./proto \  -proto geyser.proto \  -d '{"count":7}' \  grpc.nln.clr3.org:443 \  geyser.Geyser/Ping

Upgrade checklist

  • Compare new filter fields.
  • Compare oneof update variants.
  • Check enum additions.
  • Regenerate every language client.
  • Compile every sample.
  • Replay saved protobuf fixtures.
  • Run one live slot subscription.

Unknown fields are safe in protobuf decoders. Renamed application fields still break source code. Treat generated client changes as code changes.
