# Solana gRPC Filter limits

### Stop Optimizing Around Your Provider's Limits

Most Yellowstone gRPC providers cap what you can filter, meter what you stream, and charge for what you use. 

[<mark style="color:yellow;">Shyft</mark>](https://shyft.to/) doesn't.&#x20;

Every limit below is set for serious production workloads — MEV bots, data indexers, and high-frequency trading infrastructure — not to push you toward a higher plan.

### Filter Limits

Filtering is where most providers quietly fall short. Shyft sets filter limits that actually work in production — whether you're tracking thousands of wallets, monitoring multiple programs, or running a multi-strategy MEV bot.

| Filter Type                                         | Shyft Limits                              |
| --------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------- |
| **Transaction Filter Addresses** (`accountInclude`) | 150,000 / filter                          |
| **Account Filter Addresses** (`accountInclude`)     | 400,000 / filter                          |
| **Filters per Subscribe Request**                   | 10                                        |
| **Subscribe Request Update Rate**                   | Unlimited                                 |
| **Concurrent Connections**                          | 10 (Build), 20 (Grow) and 50 (Accelerate) |
| Number of IPs Allowed                               | Unlimited. No IP based Limits             |

### What's Always Unlimited — On Every Plan

Regardless of which plan you're on, the following are always unlimited:

* **Bandwidth** — stream as much data as your application needs
* **Data (TBs streamed)** — no quota, no throttling based on volume
* **Whitelisted IPs** — add as many server IPs as your infrastructure requires
* **Subscribe Request Update Rate** — update your subscriptions as frequently as needed, no rate limiting applied

### Yellowstone gRPC Connection Limits by Plan

Your concurrent gRPC connection limit determines how many simultaneous streams you can open at once.
