Version 1.0.0
Read a node's identity, genesis hash, version, snapshot slots, and shred-processing high-water marks.
Provider
Workflows
node-identity-snapshot
Establish which node is being talked to, on which cluster, and what it can serve.
Pins down node identity, cluster provenance, and snapshot availability in one pass.
1
identity
getIdentity
Read the node's identity public key, which is how a specific validator is named everywhere else on the cluster.
2
genesisHash
getGenesisHash
Read the genesis hash, the unambiguous fingerprint of which cluster this node belongs to. Comparing it against an expected value is the surest guard against pointing production traffic at a test cluster.
3
version
getVersion
Record the solana-core version and feature set, needed to interpret the snapshot and shred values that follow.
4
snapshotSlot
getHighestSnapshotSlot
Read the highest full and incremental snapshot slots the node holds, which determines whether it can bootstrap another validator and from how recent a point.
5
maxRetransmitSlot
getMaxRetransmitSlot
Read the highest slot the node has seen via its retransmit stage, an early indicator of how current its shred pipeline is.
6
maxShredInsertSlot
getMaxShredInsertSlot
Read the highest slot for which the node has inserted shreds. Compared against the retransmit mark, it shows whether the node keeps up with the shreds it receives.
