ERPC Expands Shared Solana RPC and Geyser gRPC Nodes in Frankfurt and Amsterdam — Latest-Generation AMD EPYC 5th Gen Deployment Approximately Doubles Shared Plan Processing Capacity
ERPC Expands Shared Solana RPC and Geyser gRPC Nodes in Frankfurt and Amsterdam — Latest-Generation AMD EPYC 5th Gen Deployment Approximately Doubles Shared Plan Processing Capacity
ELSOUL LABO B.V. (Headquarters: Amsterdam, the Netherlands; CEO: Fumitake Kawasaki) and Validators DAO are pleased to announce that ERPC has expanded its shared Solana RPC and shared Solana Geyser gRPC nodes in the Frankfurt and Amsterdam regions.
In response to a sharp increase in demand for the shared plans in both regions, we have deployed additional nodes powered by the latest-generation AMD EPYC 5th Gen processors in each region, approximately doubling the overall processing capacity (concurrent load headroom) of the shared plans. The expansion is already in production, and the response delays observed during recent load spikes have been substantially improved.
Thank you, as always, for your continued support. ERPC is now used by customers in more than 100 countries worldwide, and the feedback we receive from you continues to drive the improvement of our platform.

Overview of the Expansion
This expansion targets shared Solana RPC and shared Solana Geyser gRPC. Frankfurt and Amsterdam are the highest-demand regions on the ERPC platform. We have deployed additional latest-generation AMD EPYC 5th Gen nodes in both regions, approximately doubling the overall processing capacity of the shared plans.
The expansion is already operational, and the response delays that occurred during recent load spikes have been substantially improved. The new configuration provides ample headroom to absorb future demand growth.
Why Demand Has Grown — Recognition as a Top-Tier Provider Continues to Spread
Demand for the shared plans in both regions has been driven by several converging factors.
The largest factor is the broadening recognition of ERPC's performance as top-tier, exemplified by the Epics DAO validator reaching 3rd place worldwide among all Solana validators (score 99.93). The continuous improvement of validator performance is a foundational element supporting the quality of SWQoS endpoints, the delivery speed of Solana Geyser gRPC, and the response quality of Solana RPC.
In particular, the speed of Solana Geyser gRPC has gained external recognition, and new customers have been arriving steadily. Solana RPC response quality has also remained stable, and the SWQoS endpoints continue to grow in popularity. The Unlimited Plan — with no credit limits and no request-per-second caps — is highly valued for its cost-performance ratio.
We are also seeing more cases where customers who tried ERPC in earlier days have returned to reassess the quality and have settled in for full production use. The performance gains compared to a year ago are clear, and the feedback from returning customers reflects that.
The growing community of Buidlers Collective (BDLC) NFT Hodlers is another contributing factor. With the recent update applying one Bundle Standard plan per BDLC NFT held, more customers are using the shared plans for multi-region production deployments.
Why the Shared Plans Are Popular — Infrastructure That Fits Both Development and Production
For many use cases, using a shared Solana RPC / Geyser gRPC plan is more reasonable than renting an expensive bare metal server for RPC purposes.
ERPC's shared plans are designed as infrastructure for global development. The platform maintains high-quality configurations across the board with no power-saving compromises, so the shared plans perform reliably for both development and production environments. Compared to building and operating a Solana RPC node yourself on a dedicated RPC bare metal server, the shared plans are advantageous in both cost and operational overhead.
We focus on improving the infrastructure side so that our customers can focus on strategy and development. As our managed service continues to evolve, we deliver uncompromising tuning to shared plan customers as well, providing an environment where the shared plans continuously offer very high real-world performance. For many use cases, this is a more reasonable choice than renting an RPC bare metal server and operating it yourself.
SLV and AI Agents — Knowledge Returned as Open Source
The optimization techniques and tuning parameters obtained through ERPC operations are reflected in the skills of SLV — our open-source AI Agent Kit — and returned to the world through its AI agents. With just two commands,
slv onboard and slv c, you can begin operating Solana validators and RPC nodes, and developing Solana applications, through natural-language conversation with AI agents.SLV Official Site: https://slv.dev/en

BDLC GENESIS Holders Can Use the Expanded Shared High-Performance Infrastructure
While holding a Buidlers Collective (BDLC) GENESIS NFT, you can use the Bundle Standard benefit — valued at €698/month — free of charge. BDLC Hodlers can use the expanded shared Solana RPC and shared Solana Geyser gRPC high-performance environment as is. If you hold multiple BDLC NFTs, the corresponding number of Bundle Standard plans applies, allowing you to configure independent endpoints in both Frankfurt and Amsterdam.

Five Consecutive Years of WBSO Approval — Toward the AS200261 Solana-Focused Datacenter
ELSOUL LABO has received approval under WBSO, the R&D support program of the Dutch government, for five consecutive years since 2022. We continue our research and development on Solana RPC infrastructure and on the automation of validator deployment and operational orchestration, and the results are reflected directly in platform performance improvements.
As the culmination of this research and development, we are preparing to open a Solana-focused datacenter operated under our own ASN (AS200261), assigned by RIPE NCC. The datacenter is built on a unified hardware configuration of latest-generation AMD EPYC 5th Gen, AMD Threadripper PRO 5th Gen (including 9975WX), and 5th Gen NVMe, combined with optimal network path design enabled by our own ASN. The opening is scheduled for this month and will become the foundation for further performance gains across the entire platform.
We Will Continue to Improve
So that our customers can focus on strategy and development, we focus on improving the infrastructure. We pursue both ease of use and maximum performance, and we continue our research and development every day.
This expansion of the shared Solana RPC and Geyser gRPC nodes is part of that ongoing improvement work. We will continue to make improvements so that you can use ERPC comfortably going forward.
Thank you, as always. We look forward to your continued support of ERPC.
