Why Thor is fast
Thor runs its own private node, so your trades land in under half a second.
Speed decides the price you get. Thor is built so your trade reaches the chain before the crowd.
Our own private node
Thor runs its own private Solana node. Your trades do not wait in line with everyone else on shared public servers. They go straight from Thor to the network.
What that means for you
- Under 0.5 seconds from tap to on-chain on Solana in normal conditions.
- 1 to 3 seconds on EVM chains (Ethereum, Base, BNB Chain, Robinhood and Arc).
- USD Cash: trades from USD Cash land in under 0.8 seconds on Solana and under 4 seconds on EVM chains.
- Several fast routes at once. Thor sends each trade through more than one path, so it lands even when the network is busy.
- Protection from front-running. Thor helps shield your trades from bots that try to jump ahead of you.
- Max quote back. Before every swap, Thor compares routes and picks the one that gives you the most tokens.
Make it even faster
- Use Turbo priority fee for buys. See Slippage and priority fees.
- Turn on One tap trading to skip the confirm step.
Note: Speed and price are never guaranteed. When the whole network is congested, any trade can be slower.
