Hey everyone! I’ve been using n8n for a while now and noticed there wasn’t a Solana node available. So I decided to take matters into my own hands and build one myself.
I’m pretty excited about it and thought I’d share with the community. Has anyone else run into this issue before? Or maybe you’ve created custom nodes for other blockchain networks?
I’d love to hear your thoughts on this. Do you think it would be useful for others? Any suggestions on how to improve it or features you’d like to see added?
thats awesome, RunningTiger! i’ve been wanting to integrate solana into my n8n workflows for ages. did u encounter any challenges with the SOL api? would love to hear more about ur implementation. maybe we could collaborate on expanding its functionality?
As someone who’s been knee-deep in blockchain integration for years, I can’t tell you how excited I am to see a Solana node for n8n! It’s a game-changer, especially given Solana’s speed and cost-effectiveness.
In my projects, I’ve had to cobble together workarounds for Solana integration, and it’s been a headache. Your custom node could save countless hours for developers like me. One suggestion based on my experience: consider adding support for SPL token interactions. It’s a common use case that could really boost the node’s utility.
Have you stress-tested it with high-volume transactions? That’s often where custom nodes show their true colors. I’d be happy to help put it through its paces if you’re looking for beta testers. Great work, and thanks for sharing with the community!
Your custom Solana node for n8n is a significant contribution to the workflow automation ecosystem. As someone who’s worked extensively with blockchain integrations, I can attest to the value of such tools. The Solana network’s high throughput and low fees make it an attractive option for many projects.
In my experience, one of the key challenges when developing custom nodes is ensuring robust error handling and rate limiting to manage API interactions effectively. It would be beneficial to incorporate features like transaction signing and account management directly within the node to streamline complex workflows.
Have you considered open-sourcing your work? It could greatly benefit the community and potentially lead to its inclusion in the official n8n repository. I’d be interested in reviewing the code and possibly contributing if you’re open to collaboration.
