Why Users in 100+ Countries Choose ERPC

Physical Proximity to the Solana Network

The single biggest factor determining communication speed on Solana is not CPU or memory performance. It is network distance.

CPU computation and memory operations are orders of magnitude faster than network communication. No matter how high-spec your server is, if multiple public internet hops sit between it and Solana validators, that hardware advantage is buried under network latency.

ERPC places its infrastructure inside premium data centers where Solana validators are densely concentrated. All services within the platform communicate over internal network paths — a zero-distance architecture that eliminates public internet routing. This structurally minimizes network distance, the single largest bottleneck.

Network paths are also under constant measurement and optimization. Solana's block leader rotates on short cycles across the globe, meaning no single path is permanently fastest. We continuously monitor path quality and work to maintain optimal routing conditions across every region.

Full-Throttle Performance — Zero Performance Saving

The data center industry operates under an incentive structure where reducing power consumption and network bandwidth usage increases profitability. CPU power-saving features, network bandwidth restrictions, resource overcommitment — these are often not documented in spec sheets, yet they create significant real-world performance gaps between configurations that look identical on paper.

ERPC eliminates performance saving across every configuration. CPU C-state disabled. CPU governor locked to performance. Kernel parameters optimized. Network stack tuned. Every configuration is designed to extract the full capability of the underlying hardware. Maximizing customer performance is the top priority, and we do not cut corners on the costs required to achieve it.

This uncompromising approach to performance is the fundamental reason customers in over 100 countries continue to choose ERPC.

Everything at Zero Distance — The ERPC Platform

ERPC integrates every service required for Solana infrastructure within a single platform. All services are connected over internal network paths — no public internet routing between them.

Solana RPC — The interface every Solana application touches, from wallet operations to transaction submission. ERPC's Solana RPC runs on optimized nodes informed by operational insights from the Epics DAO Validator, currently ranked 3rd worldwide.

Solana Geyser gRPC — Real-time on-chain data streaming. Delivered on dedicated configurations powered by the latest AMD EPYC 5th Gen processors for low-latency, high-frequency data feeds.

Solana Shredstream (Epic Shreds) — A premium Solana Shredstream delivered with minimal hops from the Epics DAO Validator. In same-environment measurements, Epic Shreds achieved a 95.82% win rate and approximately 234ms P99 speed advantage over conventional Solana Shredstream.

Bare Metal Servers — Dedicated servers powered by the AMD Ryzen 9950X, among the fastest consumer-class CPUs available. Full-throttle turbo operation with unlimited intra-platform communication.

High-Performance VPS — Bare-metal-level performance in a virtualized environment. Starting at €42/month, with one-command migration to bare metal via SLV when you need to scale up.

ERPC Global Storage — Distributed object storage with AES-256 end-to-end encryption. Combined with SLV Backup, it provides a secure backup layer without sacrificing server-side performance.

Unlimited Endpoints — RPC endpoints with no credit limits and no TPS throttling, ideal for workloads concentrated in a single region. HTTP access is also supported, eliminating encryption overhead for ultra-low-latency communication. The typical latency difference between HTTPS and HTTP is around 20ms — this can be reduced to the absolute minimum.

All of these services are connected at zero distance. Deploy on the platform and you get the fastest communication conditions, optimized configurations, and Solana-specific tuning from the start.

Epics DAO Validator — World #3 Powering the Platform

The Epics DAO Validator, which powers ERPC's SWQoS endpoints and Epic Shreds delivery, has reached 3rd place worldwide among all Solana validators with a score of 99.93.

Validator performance improvements translate directly into higher SWQoS endpoint quality, faster Epic Shreds delivery, and better Solana RPC performance. The point of purchase is not the peak — the entire platform continues to get faster as the validator improves. This is ERPC's structural advantage.

Why We Build This

The General-Purpose Market Does Not Prioritize Speed

In the general-purpose server market, stability, profitability, and standardization take priority. Speed-first configurations are rarely offered by default. The server industry operates under a structural reality where the quality of resources provided often depends on the customer's level of knowledge.

Brand recognition and trust alone do not guarantee the fastest environment. Achieving the fastest performance on Solana requires purpose-built design across network distance, path quality, hardware selection, and system-level tuning — all optimized specifically for Solana's requirements.

We built our own platform to solve this problem. Users can access the fastest environment without needing deep data center expertise. The fact that customers in over 100 countries choose ERPC from their respective regions demonstrates that this design philosophy resonates across borders.

Customer Feedback Accelerates Improvement

Feedback from customers in over 100 countries drives the precision and speed of our improvements. Connection quality from specific regions, latency characteristics under specific workloads, operational challenges — the feedback from professionals worldwide continuously raises the quality of the platform.

We receive feedback, we improve, and those improvements are returned as better performance for our customers. This cycle is one of the reasons ERPC continues to be chosen.

SLV — The AI Agent Kit for Solana Development

SLV is an open-source tool that supports the entire Solana development lifecycle in coordination with AI agents.

With SLV v0.13, just two commands — slv onboard and slv c — set up an environment where Solana validator and RPC operations can be managed entirely through natural language. Full-environment migration (SLV Migrate Linux), E2E encrypted backup (SLV Backup), and AI agent execution are all included as a unified operational foundation for Solana development.

5 Consecutive Years of WBSO Approval — R&D Directly Reflected in the Platform

ELSOUL LABO has received approval under the Dutch government's WBSO R&D incentive program for five consecutive years since 2022. Ongoing research covers ultra-low-latency Solana RPC infrastructure and automation of validator placement and operational orchestration. The results are directly reflected in platform performance improvements.

The platform serving customers in over 100 countries is built on this accumulated R&D. The results compound over time, and the rate of improvement continues to accelerate.

Next Generation — AS200261 Solana-Specialized Data Center

ELSOUL LABO has been assigned its own ASN (AS200261) by RIPE NCC and is preparing to open a top-tier Solana-specialized data center. The facility features a hardware stack unified on AMD EPYC 5th Gen, AMD Threadripper PRO 5th Gen (9975WX and equivalent), and NVMe Gen 5, combined with optimal network path design through our own ASN — infrastructure that exceeds existing premium data centers.

The facility is scheduled to open next month, serving as the foundation for further acceleration across the entire platform. The initial lot is fully reserved, with subsequent availability offered in waitlist order.

What Comes Next for ERPC

Over the past two years, the Epics DAO Validator reached world #3, P99 latency improved by over 120ms across all regions, and SLV evolved to handle Solana operations entirely through AI agent conversations. Our own Solana-specialized data center under AS200261 is opening next month.

All of these are the foundation for the next round of improvements.

We built this platform so that customers worldwide can stop worrying about infrastructure and focus on strategy and code. Validator performance can still improve. Network paths can still be optimized. Tuning still has room to go. The rate of improvement grows over time — today's platform will be faster tomorrow.

We are proud of the journey we have shared with customers in over 100 countries. As a global top-tier Solana provider, we will continue to pursue world-leading performance and drive the industry forward.

Thank you for being part of this. We look forward to continuing to build ERPC together.
