Solana Vibe Station has partnered with a large pool of validators to bring our RPC users an even faster option for submitting transactions via our Lightspeed network. This is a **tip based** service to land transactions as fast as possible. Larger tips translates to faster transaction processing times.

**The minimum tip required is .001 SOL.** More information on tip specifics and other details of the service can be found [here](https://docs.solanavibestation.com/developers/lightspeed/overview).

You can utilize this service **on any paid RPC tier** (either staked or un-staked) by appending `/lightspeed` to your existing SWQoS endpoint and including a system transfer instruction to the Lightspeed tipping address that is listed below. 

**Real-time metrics** are posted [here](https://discord.com/channels/1241508519190986752/1316576906962796574)

### Tip Addresses

```

### How to use:

* Append `/lightspeed` to your **SVS** [**url**](/introduction/connection-information.md) **as a sendTransaction only URL**
* Include transfer instruction to tip address above with the minimum tip of .001 SOL
* Make sure to set "skipPreflight: true" in your sendTransaction request parameters
* The getHealth rpc call can be used to keep alive your connection to the lightning endpoint
* Implementation example can be found on our [Github](https://github.com/Solana-Vibe-Station/lightspeed-examples) or in our [API docs](/developers/lightspeed/overview/lightspeed.md)<br>
