Helius's new API solution is indeed powerful. In comparison, if you're still using the old approach of getSignaturesForAddress plus getTransaction in the Solana ecosystem, there are many issues: latency is 2-10 times higher, code is redundant and cumbersome, not to mention server-side sorting, searching, and pagination requirements that are simply not elegantly handled.

Switching to getTransactionForAddress is a different story. One API call handles all needs, performance is directly maximized, and the amount of code can be halved. Especially when dealing with large transaction histories, the difference becomes obvious. Infrastructure optimization is often overlooked, but its impact on development experience and application performance is very real.

From a technical perspective, this performance comparison data is indeed worth paying attention to—reducing latency by 2-10 times is no small feat.

Bro, this summary is on point. Everyone who has used getSignaturesForAddress knows how frustrating it is; the delays are really torturous.

The old methods are indeed a pain, making the code bulky and performance sluggish. It's about time to upgrade this thing. This version of Helius is really awesome, one call equals two. Many people haven't paid attention to infrastructure, but that's actually the key. Too lazy to use the old API anymore, the efficiency is way better.

Wow, someone finally explained this clearly... The old API approach really held the project back. Switching to a new solution has directly taken off.

Wow, someone finally explained this clearly... I previously complained about how terrible the old API was. This time, the new solution is really awesome. The performance difference is visibly noticeable, everyone who uses it knows.

Wow, someone finally explained this thoroughly. The old API approach really can drive people crazy.
