Monitor new program deployments on Solana to track program launches, analyze deployment trends, or build program discovery tools.

​
Use Case

Program deployment tracking enables you:
  • Track new program launches
  • Monitor program upgrade activity
  • Analyze deployment trends
  • Build program discovery dashboards

​

Key Parameters

ParameterDescription
programIdBPF Upgradeable Loader program ID for deployments
accountsInstruction accounts (first account is typically the program)
transactionIndexTransaction index (use to match with transactions array)
Program deployments on Solana use the BPF Upgradeable Loader program. Different instruction types within this program indicate deployments, upgrades, or closures.

Filter by Deployer

Track deployments from specific addresses: 
curl --compressed -X POST "https://portal.sqd.dev/datasets/solana-mainnet/stream" \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
    "type": "solana",

        "signatures": true,
        "feePayer": true
      },
      "instruction": {
        "programId": true,
        "accounts": true,
        "transactionIndex": true
      }
    },
    "instructions": [{
      "programId": ["BPFLoaderUpgradeab1e11111111111111111111111"]
    }],
    "transactions": [{
      "feePayer": ["DeployerAddressHere"]
    }]
  }'

const blocks = await dataSource.getBlocks({

  to: 270000047,
  fields: {
    transaction: { signatures: true, feePayer: true },

    },
  ],
  transactions: [
    {
      feePayer: ["DeployerAddressHere"],
    },
  ],
});

    "fromBlock": 270000044,
    "toBlock": 270000047,
    "fields": {
        "transaction": {

Performance Tips

  1. Filter by deployer: Query deployments from specific addresses
  2. Use slot ranges: Process data in manageable batches
  3. Request minimal fields: Only request fields you need
  4. Combine filters: Use both program and transaction filters for precision
