You have all probably been wondering why the team has been so silent, and we owe you an explanation. Morgan, our lead developer, has been dealing with personal issues for some time. Out of respect for his privacy we cannot share more than that, but he has decided to step into a less active role within the project, indefinitely.
That being said, he made great progress with the platform, and we will now be using our broad network to try and bring in another talented and experienced developer as soon as possible. Our goal remains the same: to finish the platform and release it.
The connections & partnerships we have built with notable platforms and communities are still intact and will continue to support us moving forward. While this will frustratingly delay the final launch, please know that we are fully committed to seeing this through.
We have always strived to be open and transparent with you, and we will continue to do so as we move ahead together.
As always, thanks for your patience and support.
The EKKO Team.

We know the wait’s frustrating, and we highly appreciate your patience, we’re making huge progress. Major infrastructure upgrades are underway, and it’ll ALL be worth it. You’ve been with us nearly half a year, and we’re here to stay. BIG things are coming...
🚨Exciting Announcement:
As you all know, we have big plans for our upcoming update, including major partnerships. In preparation for what is coming, we will officially be integrating @Heliuslabs LaserStream, the single best gRPC on #Solana for the fastest real-time blockchain data. Trusted by the industry's leading platforms, LaserStream will bring EKKO up to par with the best in the space.
What this means for EKKO:
This integration will significantly boost the performance and responsiveness of our platform, enabling faster updates, better reliability, and a smoother user experience. It lays the groundwork for everything we are building next and ensures that EKKO is ready to scale with the ecosystem.
EKKO is evolving. Exciting times ahead. Stay tuned...
Today, Solana gets a huge upgrade.
We are finally releasing LaserStream.
TL;DR — the fastest, most reliable way of streaming Solana blocks, txns, and account data via gRPC.
LaserStream comes with:
- optimized shredstream (receive data before anyone else)
- historical replay & persistence (if you disconnect, start from the slot where you disconnected and never miss data)
- extreme redundancy (powered by many redundant node clusters) so you never worry about downtime or your stream falling behind
- regional endpoints for all major regions (tokyo, frankfurt, newark, pittsburgh, salt lake city, amsterdam, singapore) — no need to wait for node availability or buy an entire node
- listen up to 250,000 addresses per connection; up to 100 simultaneous connections
- ready-to-go client SDKs (optional)
- works with existing gRPC code
It’s been quiet, so here’s a quick update.
We’ve been finalizing partnerships with top industry players. This delayed the release of the new update due to integration, but we’re now in the final stages and it'll be worth the wait.
These deals will greatly expand EKKO’s network and connect us to a much larger audience.
The full announcement will come on X after the rollout, but we’ve pinned one of the deals in our Telegram group as a token of appreciation to the community. Check it out if you haven’t yet.
If you’re still here, you know we always deliver. Big things are coming. Thanks for your patience.
