Commitment

solana.rpc.commitment

Commitment options.

Solana nodes choose which bank state to query based on a commitment requirement set by the client.

In descending order of commitment (most finalized to least finalized), clients may specify:

Commitment

Type for commitment.

Confirmed

The node will query the most recent block that has been voted on by supermajority of the cluster.

  • It incorporates votes from gossip and replay.
  • It does not count votes on descendants of a block, only direct votes on that block.
  • This confirmation level also upholds "optimistic confirmation" guarantees in release 1.3 and onwards.

Finalized

The node will query the most recent block confirmed by supermajority of the cluster as having reached maximum lockout, meaning the cluster has recognized this block as finalized.

Max

Processed
