Monitor Program Deployments

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

Code Example

curl --compressed -X POST "https://portal.sqd.dev/datasets/solana-mainnet/stream" \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{

Key Parameters

Parameter	Description
`programId`	BPF Upgradeable Loader program ID for deployments
`accounts`	Instruction accounts (first account is typically the program)
`transactionIndex`	Transaction 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.

Expected Output

{
  "header": {
    "number": 259985000,
    "timestamp": 1697544779
  },
  "instructions": [
    {
      "programId": "BPFLoaderUpgradeab1e11111111111111111111111",
      "accounts": ["NewProgramAddress...", "..."],
      "transactionIndex": 0
    }
  ]
}

Filter by Deployer

Track deployments from specific addresses:

Performance Tips

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