ERPC Enhances Shared Solana RPC / Geyser gRPC Nodes in Frankfurt and Amsterdam

ELSOUL LABO B.V. (Headquarters: Amsterdam, Netherlands; Representative Director & CEO: Fumitake Kawasaki) and Validators DAO, which operates ERPC, are pleased to announce the enhancement of their shared Solana RPC and shared Solana Geyser gRPC nodes in the Frankfurt and Amsterdam regions.

Due to a surge in demand for shared plans in both regions, we have additionally deployed nodes equipped with the latest-generation AMD EPYC 5th Gen processors in each region, approximately doubling the overall processing capacity (reserve capacity for concurrent load) of the shared plans. The enhancement has already been completed, and response delays observed during recent load spikes have been significantly improved.

Thank you as always. We continue to serve customers in over 100 countries worldwide, and feedback from all of you supports the improvement of our platform.

Enhancement Overview

This enhancement targets shared Solana RPC and shared Solana Geyser gRPC. Frankfurt and Amsterdam are the regions with the highest demand on the ERPC platform. By deploying the latest-generation AMD EPYC 5th Gen nodes in both regions, we have approximately doubled the overall processing capacity of the shared plans.

The enhancement is already operational, and response delays that occurred during recent load surges have been significantly improved. The configuration is now robust enough to comfortably handle future increases in demand.

Background of Surging Demand — Spreading Recognition as a Top Tier

Demand for shared plans in both regions is being driven by multiple overlapping factors.

The biggest factor is the widespread recognition of ERPC's top-tier performance, exemplified by the Epics DAO validator reaching the world's 3rd overall position among all Solana validators (score 99.93). Continuous improvement in validator performance is a crucial foundation supporting the quality of SWQoS endpoints, the delivery speed of Solana Geyser gRPC, and the response quality of Solana RPC.

Especially regarding the speed of Solana Geyser gRPC, external evaluations are spreading, and new customers are continuously flocking to us. The response quality of Solana RPC is also stable, and the popularity of SWQoS endpoints is increasing. The Unlimited Plan is highly regarded for its cost-performance, offering a configuration without credit limits or call TPS limits.

Furthermore, customers who initially tried ERPC are now re-evaluating its quality and increasingly settling in for serious use. The performance improvement compared to last year is clear, and the feedback from returning customers reflects this tangible feeling.

The increase in Hodlers of Buidlers Collective (BDLC) NFTs is also one of the factors driving demand. With the update that applies Bundle Standard plans for each BDLC NFT held, shared plans are increasingly being utilized for production operations across multiple regions.

Why Shared Plans Are Popular — The "Just Right" Infrastructure from Development to Production

Shared Solana RPC / Geyser gRPC is more rational for many use cases than renting expensive bare-metal servers for RPC.

ERPC's shared plans are designed as infrastructure for global development. By maintaining a high-quality configuration across the entire platform and continuously operating without any performance savings, it operates stably as both a development and production environment. Compared to building a Solana RPC node on a self-owned RPC bare metal, it is advantageous in terms of cost and operational load.

We focus on improving the infrastructure so that customers can concentrate on strategy and development. By continuously evolving as a managed service, we deliver uncompromising tuning to our shared plan customers, establishing an environment that consistently provides a very high perceived performance for shared plans. In many use cases, it is a more rational choice than renting bare-metal RPC and operating it yourself.

SLV and AI Agents — Knowledge Returned as Open Source

Optimization methods and tuning parameters obtained from ERPC operations are reflected in AI agents as skills of SLV, an open-source AI Agent Kit, and are returned to the global community. With just two commands, `slv onboard` and `slv c`, you can immediately start operating Solana validators and RPCs or developing apps through natural language dialogue with an AI agent.

Utilize Enhanced Shared High-Performance Infrastructure by Holding BDLC GENESIS

While holding a Buidlers Collective (BDLC) GENESIS NFT, you can use the Bundle Standard benefit, equivalent to €698 per month, for free. Hodlers can directly leverage the enhanced shared Solana RPC and shared Solana Geyser gRPC high-performance environment. If you hold multiple NFTs, Bundle Standard plans will be applied for the number of NFTs held, and you can also configure independent endpoints in both Frankfurt and Amsterdam regions.

5 Consecutive WBSO Approvals — Opening of AS200261 Solana-Specialized Data Center

ELSOUL LABO has received WBSO approval from the Dutch government's R&D support program for five consecutive years since 2022. We continue to research Solana RPC infrastructure development, and automation of validator placement and operation orchestration, with the results directly reflecting in platform performance improvements.

As the culmination of this R&D, we are proceeding with the opening of a Solana-specialized data center with our own ASN (AS200261) granted by RIPE NCC. In addition to a hardware configuration unified with the latest-generation AMD EPYC 5th Gen, AMD Threadripper PRO 5th Gen (e.g., 9975WX), and NVMe 5th Gen, we will realize optimal network route design through our own ASN. It is scheduled to open this month and will serve as the foundation for further acceleration of the entire platform.

We will continue to improve

We focus on improving the infrastructure so that our customers can concentrate on strategy and development. We will continue our daily research and development, pursuing both ease of use and maximization of performance.

This enhancement of shared Solana RPC / Geyser gRPC nodes is part of our ongoing daily improvements. We will continue to improve for your comfortable use of ERPC.

Thank you as always. We look forward to your continued support of ERPC.
