Cascade is a decentralized marketplace for Solana transaction bandwidth. It connects developers who need reliable transaction inclusion with validators who have excess stake-weighted capacity to sell. Instead of competing for limited bandwidth during congestion, developers can secure guaranteed access, ensuring their transactions are delivered quickly and consistently.

For validators, Cascade unlocks a new revenue stream, enabling them to list surplus Packet-Per-Second (PPS) bandwidth and earn yield on otherwise idle capacity.

It's a simple, transparent way to match real-time supply and demand for one of Solana's most valuable resources: throughput.

Cascade is powered by stake-weighted quality of service (SWQoS), ensuring bandwidth access is verifiable, predictable, and aligned with the performance incentives of both developers and validators.
