# Welcome to Elite Node

**The Product:** \
Elite Node builds and provides private, high-performance execution infrastructure for traders who demand near-zero latency. Our core offering is a fully-managed, co-located Firedancer stack with direct Jito Shredstream access, engineered for a single purpose: to dominate every slot.

**The Technology:** \
Our core is built on Rust and deployed on co-located Firedancer nodes to achieve sub-millisecond latency. We utilize a custom, low-level data pipeline that interfaces directly with the Jito Shredstream, allowing us to decode and analyze transactions in real-time, pre-finalization. This provides our partners with a decisive advantage to instantly construct and submit response bundles for 0-block strategy execution.

**Access:** \
Elite Node is a private, application-only platform. We partner with professional traders, market makers, and liquidity providers who understand that in the MEV race, infrastructure, not strategy, is the ultimate victor. We are not a mass-market product. We are a strategic advantage.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://elite-node.gitbook.io/elite-node-docs/introduction/welcome-to-elite-node.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
