ERPC Announces Large-Scale Restock of Solana Dedicated ShredStream, Bare Metal, and EPYC VPS Across All Regions
ERPC Announces Large-Scale Restock of Solana Dedicated ShredStream, Bare Metal, and EPYC VPS Across All Regions
ELSOUL LABO B.V. (Headquarters: Amsterdam, The Netherlands; CEO: Fumitake Kawasaki) and Validators DAO have completed a large-scale restock across all regions of our Solana-dedicated Bare Metal servers, Premium Bare Metal servers, Dedicated ShredStream, and EPYC VPS.
We have replenished lineups that had remained sold out in every region. If you aim for the highest performance on Solana, this is the time to deploy.
Thank you, as always, for your generous support.
Why a large restock now
These Solana-dedicated products are popular because of performance and proximity to Solana.
Selection of CPU and memory is only the start. The choice of data center, its rack placement, available PoPs, and whether it functions as a hub are all critical.
You also need an operational setup that can keep systems in turbo at all times. In reality, you cannot obtain “high-performance servers” casually.
We initially tried to secure a high-performance Solana environment for ourselves, and learned firsthand that it was not easy to get. We conducted substantial research and built the infrastructure ourselves.
This infrastructure was created because we were not satisfied with market RPC offerings. For that reason, our products are designed for customers who are not satisfied with market RPC either. We offer only products that deliver the highest quality and the highest performance at every price tier.
After numerous discussions with multiple data centers, our current partner data centers fully meet our strict performance requirements for Solana. We also learned that there are only a few data centers that can truly meet these requirements.
Closing the knowledge gap between application and network
Historically, Solana RPC providers did not offer application hosting, and cloud providers that host applications did not offer Solana RPC.
As a result, only a small group of professionals were able to identify servers in the same data center and achieve the fastest communication.
In the OSI model with seven layers, applications are at layer 7 and networking is at layer 3. There is a knowledge gap here. In the blockchain industry, application engineers are often called upon to build systems, but it is rare for them to also have deep networking knowledge.
This makes it difficult to resolve networking issues when optimizing Solana’s characteristics and your own infrastructure.
We solve this. By using our infrastructure, these network issues are already addressed. The fastest Solana network is guaranteed, so you can focus entirely on developing Solana applications.
Regional strategy and placement
The leader validator on Solana changes over time. Frankfurt hosts the largest share, which is why demand concentrates there. With roughly 20 percent located in this region, it is a rational bet. This strategy has validity, and conversely, aiming for the edge where there is less competition is also an option.
Either way, the key is to place servers close to the target. The network is always the primary bottleneck, and reducing network distance is the basic principle for reducing latency.
ERPC primary regions:
- Frankfurt
- Amsterdam
- London
- New York
- Chicago
- Salt Lake City
- Tokyo
- Singapore
The “same network” design
Our servers are placed on the same or very close networks as major Solana validators. For each product, the premium tier is deployed on the same network as the primary sources. Communication completes within the same network without traversing the public internet, so receiving, processing, and sending all finish on the spot.
Advantages of Dedicated ShredStream Premium
Our fastest ShredStream is back. Ryzen ShredStream Premium is on the same network as the data source, so it achieves the fastest possible performance. Placing your application server alongside it completes the best environment.
About the lightweight fastest Premium Bare Metal
We have restocked the highly requested 140€/m lightweight fastest Premium Bare Metal in New York. We can also provide servers that are not shown in the price chart above.
In particular, 16 cores (up to 5.7 GHz) + 128 GB DDR5 RAM configurations with Ryzen 7950X (240€/m) and Ryzen 9950X (320€/m) are very popular choices for teams pursuing the fastest development experience.
If you share your requirements, we will deliver servers with assured quality.
How to get started
All of our Bare Metal and VPS products follow this principle and are designed to achieve the fastest performance. There is always a way to reach even higher performance. For purchases, waitlists, or requirements discussions, please create a ticket via the Validators DAO official Discord.

Challenges ERPC solves
We built a zero-distance communication network in-house and established an operational structure that draws out maximum server performance. We run Dedicated ShredStream, Geyser gRPC, and application Bare Metal on the same network so communication completes without traversing the public internet.
To achieve the highest performance on Solana, we address the following:
- Transaction failures and latency variability common in standard RPC environments
- Performance throttling by many infrastructure providers
- The large impact of network distance on communication quality
- The difficulty for small projects to access high-quality infrastructure
Thank you, as always. We will continue our R&D, stabilize inventory, and expand the lineup so that we can deliver value to even more projects. We support Solana projects globally and aim to contribute to your success.
We appreciate your continued support.
