Use case · Retention
Wallets & mobile clients
On mobile, latency is retention. StreamSync races the nearest operators so reads land in single-digit milliseconds — and you only pay when they do.
The problem
A wallet lives and dies on perceived speed. Users open it to check a balance or confirm a transfer; if the number lags, they assume something is wrong. Every additional 50ms of RPC latency chips away at retention, and a single hosted backend gives you one region’s latency whether it suits your users or not.
How StreamSync helps
- Nearest-operator racing. The gateway picks top operators by region and reputation and races them, so clients get the fastest correct answer available.
- Sub-10ms SLA. Reads that miss the target simply are not billed — the incentive to be fast sits on the network.
- Predictive caching. The cache-optimizer node class keeps popular reads hot, which is exactly the profile of wallet traffic.
- Structural failover. If one operator degrades, another has already answered — no client-side retry logic to maintain.

FAQ
Why is latency so critical for wallets?
On mobile, every additional 50ms of RPC latency measurably reduces user retention. Balances, token metadata, and transaction status need to appear instantly, and a slow provider directly costs engagement.
How does racing help a mobile client specifically?
The gateway selects the nearest operators by region and races them, so a client gets the fastest correct answer available rather than being pinned to one backend that may be far away or degraded.
