# Introduction

## Welcome to Pulstream 🚀

**Pulstream** is a high-performance stream processing platform built for real-time Solana data analysis and signal generation. It enables developers to create, deploy, and monetize custom data processing streams using WASM functions that react to blockchain events in real-time.

## ✨ Key features

* **⚡ Real-time Solana data processing**: Direct integration with Solana blockchain via Yellowstone gRPC geyser plugin
* **🔧 WASM-based functions**: Write logic in Rust, compile to WASM for sandboxed execution
* **📡 Low latency signal generation**: Sub-second detection and propagation of trading opportunities
* **📱 Automated social alerts**: Push notifications to Discord, Telegram, Twitter and other platforms
* **🤖 Automated trading execution**: Direct integration with DEXs and trading protocols
* **💰 Stream monetization**: Revenue sharing model for stream creators

## 🎯 Use cases

* **Trading signal generation**: Custom indicators and trading signals based on on-chain data
* **Arbitrage detection**: Identify price discrepancies across DEXs in real-time
* **DeFi analytics**: Track liquidity, yields, and protocol metrics
* **Portfolio tracking**: Monitor wallet activities and performance
* **Risk management**: Build alerts for position monitoring and risk metrics
* **Whale tracking**: Detect large transactions and wallet movements

## 🏗️ Architecture overview

Pulstream consists of four main components:

* **Carbon router** - Ingests real-time Solana blockchain data
* **Runtime engine** - Executes user functions in WASM environment
* **Function server** - Manages function deployment via REST API
* **Signal distribution** - Delivers signals to consumers
