# StreamSync > StreamSync is a high-performance decentralized indexing network for Solana. It guarantees sub-10ms query latency through racing competition between independent node operators, distributed DuckDB sharding, and economic incentives paid in $STRM, SOL, or USDC. StreamSync is operated as an open protocol. Independent operators compete on speed and reliability; customers pay only when responses arrive under the SLA. The codebase is Rust with Anchor-based Solana programs and a distributed DuckDB query layer. ## Docs - [Home](https://streamsync.cryptuon.com/): Overview, features, and pitch - [How it works](https://streamsync.cryptuon.com/how-it-works/): Race pipeline, node roles, DuckDB sharding, settlement, and a quickstart - [Use cases](https://streamsync.cryptuon.com/use-cases/): DeFi front-ends, analytics/indexers, wallets & mobile, vendor diversity - [Tokenomics](https://streamsync.cryptuon.com/tokenomics/): Staking requirements, 70/15/15 racing rewards, 50/20/20/10 revenue split, and SLA guarantees - [FAQ](https://streamsync.cryptuon.com/faq/): Common questions on the SLA, sharding, payments, and running a node - [About](https://streamsync.cryptuon.com/about/): The economic-decentralization thesis behind the network - [Blog](https://streamsync.cryptuon.com/blog/): Architecture deep-dives, comparisons, and operator guides ## Compare - [vs Helius](https://streamsync.cryptuon.com/compare/helius/) - [vs Triton One](https://streamsync.cryptuon.com/compare/triton-one/) - [vs QuickNode](https://streamsync.cryptuon.com/compare/quicknode/) - [vs Shyft](https://streamsync.cryptuon.com/compare/shyft/) ## Optional - [RSS](https://streamsync.cryptuon.com/rss.xml): Blog feed
