Token information appears in IPFS with a delay

I use Helius RPC to interact with my Solana wallet and receive token information. I am specifically interested in when token creation data (e.g. minting events) appears in IPFS.

When I create a new token using TOKEN_MINT, I immediately receive the token data and metadata (including a link to my Solana IPFS account). However, I have noticed that this data is not always available immediately.

Delay

I have noticed that token creation data usually takes a few seconds or even minutes to appear in IPFS. This delay can be frustrating, especially if you need quick access to newly created tokens.

Helius RPC and IPFS Delay

To understand why this delay occurs, let’s take a closer look at how Helius RPC handles token creation data. When I send a request for the latest token creation data using my webhook, Helius responds with the requested data. However, there is a delay between receiving the response from Helius and the token creation data appearing in IPFS.

Potential Causes

There could be several reasons why this delay occurs:

• IPFS Node Latency: The Solana IPFS node may not respond immediately to my request.

• Helius RPC Latency: Helius may need a little longer to process and respond to my request, leading to delayed token creation data.

• Network Congestion: If there are many requests for token creation data from different users or wallets at the same time, this can cause delays.

Solutions

To minimize the delay, you can try the following:

• Check IPFS Node Health: Make sure that the Solana IPFS node is up and responding to your requests quickly.

• Optimize Helius RPC requests

  : Try to reduce the number of requests sent to Helius or use --max-requests to limit the number of requests sent at once.

• Test with another node: Try to test your token creation data with another IPFS node, such as a testnet node.

Conclusion

While the delay can be frustrating, it is important to understand why it is occurring and take steps to mitigate its impact. By optimizing Helius RPC requests and checking the state of the Solana IPFS node, you should be able to access your token creation data quickly and efficiently.
