block polling interval

[gherkins]

When using lite-rpc to optimize some rather rarely occurring swap transactions,
would there a possibility to tone down the block polling interval in between transactions?

Or would that undermine the whole optimization strategy?
So in other words does lite-rpc have to continually poll the current slot and block that fast?

Asking mainly because, when using in conjunction with paid RPC services,
the getSlot & getBlock methods calls amount for a really large amount of credits...🤔

Stop using Helius then. It's garbage anyway.

Cheers, thanks for the suggestion!
What setup would you suggest - you'd still need some RPC service, right?

Sorry, if I got this backwards, but lite-rpc acts as a kind of optimization "proxy" between a full RPC service and the client, doesn't it?
So you'd need to have some kind of (full) RPC service?
Do you have a setup suggestion?

Do you have way to get geyser subscriptions , if you do not want to poll blocks ??
May some developement can be done to get singature status for transactions sent by lite-rpc instead of polling blocks.

[gherkins]

so the polling is mainly done as a confirmation strategy?
If so, would making that feature optional be a possibility?

So that you could use lite-rpc to send transaction, but just subscribe to the signature-status updates on the "original” rpc connection... 🤷‍♂️

What is wrong with Helius? @jordanamr
