ERPC Restocks Four Leading Bare Metal Configurations for Solana Applications in Frankfurt, Which Have Repeatedly Sold Out

ERPC, operated by ELSOUL LABO B.V. (Headquarters: Amsterdam, the Netherlands; CEO: Fumitake Kawasaki) and Validators DAO, announces the restock of several bare metal server configurations for Solana applications in the Frankfurt (FRA) region, which have repeatedly sold out due to sustained demand.

Today also marks the final day on which the open sale pricing applies to subscriptions initiated in January 2026. Contracts started within January will continue to retain the same pricing conditions thereafter.

Overview of the Restocked Bare Metal Configurations

This restock in Frankfurt includes a total of four bare metal configurations.

None of these configurations are guaranteed to be supplied continuously under identical conditions going forward. Due to the selection of premium data centers and resources, these offerings are inherently scarce, and pricing conditions may change in the future. For some configurations, no additional inventory is expected beyond this restock.

In addition, even configurations with the same CPU differ in the data centers in which they are deployed. It is therefore necessary to consider not only CPU performance, but also deployment conditions, as these directly affect real-world results.

Restocked Configuration ①: Ryzen 9 7950X (ERPC Standard Data Center)

The Ryzen 9 7950X configuration offers a well-balanced combination of processing headroom and cost efficiency for Solana application workloads and testnet operations.

While this restock has been made possible, the likelihood of further inventory being added under the same conditions is low. In practice, this configuration should be regarded as close to a one-time restock. Due to market conditions and deployment constraints, it is difficult to maintain this configuration as a permanent lineup.

Restocked Configuration ②: Ryzen 9 9950X (ERPC Standard Data Center)

Among the Ryzen 9 9950X offerings, this configuration is deployed in ERPC’s standard data center.

This data center is the second-largest stake aggregation point within the Frankfurt region and is also connected via a PNI (Private Network Interconnect) to the data center with the largest stake concentration. As a result, it provides both high stability and sufficient proximity for practical Solana operations.

The combination of a high-clock CPU and a mature network environment enables consistent and reproducible behavior in real-world usage.

Restocked Configuration ③: Ryzen 9 9950X (ERPC Premium Data Center)

Although it uses the same Ryzen 9 9950X CPU, this configuration is deployed in the premium data center that hosts the largest stake concentration in the Frankfurt region.

Its placement allows observation, follow-up, shred reception, and state updates to occur over the shortest possible paths, resulting in the most stable conditions available within the region. The core value of this configuration lies in the simultaneous fulfillment of CPU performance and deployment conditions.

Restocking under these conditions is highly challenging, and available quantities are limited.

Restocked Configuration ④: Ryzen 5 9600X (ERPC Premium Data Center, Dead Stock)

The Ryzen 5 9600X configuration is currently classified as dead stock and represents an exceptional restock made possible only in very limited quantities.

No additional inventory is expected going forward, and availability is projected to end with this batch. Due to its characteristics, demand is likely to concentrate quickly, and the configuration may sell out in a short period of time.

This is not a permanent option, but a special offering enabled by temporarily satisfied conditions.

Pricing Tables

The conditions for the configurations restocked this time, as well as the premium configurations offered previously, are summarized in the pricing tables below.

Please note that prices shown reflect the new pricing applied from February 2026 onward.

These pricing tables are intended to clarify differences in CPU, memory, storage, network conditions, and deployment data centers. They are not provided for simple price comparison, but to help readers understand the structural differences between configurations and deployment environments.

Why Deployment Conditions Matter Even with the Same CPU

Solana operates on a model where leaders rotate frequently, and block production, shred propagation, voting, and state updates occur in rapid succession. In this execution model, outcomes are influenced less by average processing speed and more by latency distribution stability and resilience to external disturbances.

Frankfurt functions as the largest aggregation region for Solana validators and stake. Even within the region, stake concentration varies by data center, and these differences in deployment conditions directly affect the probability of successful observation and follow-up.

ERPC designs its configurations by placing equal importance on CPU performance and these deployment conditions.

Why Supply Is Limited and the Nature of This Restock

Bare metal servers only become viable when multiple factors align, including rack availability, power capacity, network quality, facility upgrades, and operational maturity. These conditions cannot be expanded rapidly.

This restock is the result of temporarily satisfied conditions and does not indicate a shift toward continuous supply. Going forward, the cycle of sellouts and intermittent restocks is expected to continue.

Availability and Inquiries

The latest availability and detailed conditions are provided via the Validators DAO official Discord.

Please note that subscriptions initiated within January 2026 are eligible for the open sale pricing, and these pricing conditions will remain in effect for the duration of the contract. Today is the final day to apply under these terms.
