Smart Router

Magicblock’s Smart Router is an open-source dynamic transaction routing engine that accelerates transactions by intelligently deciding where they should be executed — either on Ephemeral Rollups or Solana — based on transaction metadata.

This removes the complexity of infrastructure decisions from the developer’s workflow, enabling seamless user experiences across different execution environments.

​

What Does It Do

The Smart Router analyzes each transaction’s metadata (e.g. writable accounts, owner, and signer) and automatically routes it to the closest dedicated endpoint:

• Ephemeral Rollup for fast, low-latency, zero-cost execution
• Solana for persistent, high-throughput execution

This decision is made transparently, with no need for manual routing logic from the developer providing significant benefits in transaction speed and development experience.

• ✅ Simple Integration with Single Endpoint: Just connect to a single RPC endpoint.
• ✅ Seamless Wallet Experience: Connect, sign, and submit — no need to know what’s happening behind the scenes.
• ✅ Faster Confirmations: Smart Router routes to the fastest available endpoint.

​

How It Works

1. Client - Transaction Submission
   The dApp or user sends a transaction to the Smart Router RPC endpoint.

2. RPC - Metadata Inspection
   The Smart Router inspects the transaction metadata and checks the owner of writable accounts.

3. Validator - Smart Routing and Execution
   Based on the metadata, the router determines whether to send it to:

   • Ephemeral Rollup
   • Solana

   The router sends the transaction to the right execution layer. Users just sign and submit — no extra steps needed.
