| Decoded Shreds | Shred Streams | Early pre-execution transactions from shreds, with account filters (ShredStream gRPC) |
| Binary | Shred Streams | Compact serialized VersionedTransaction bytes for lowest shred-path latency |
| Preconfs | Shred Streams | Binary add-on with pre-shred data from connected leaders |
