Building Sustainable Blockchain Infrastructure

Validators DAO turns hands-on validator and RPC operating experience into products and open source — SLV, SLV AI, and ERPC — built to raise the quality of the whole Solana network.

Welcome to SLV

SLV: The AI Agent Kit for Solana Devs

Quick Start:

$ slv onboard - Setup AI Console (recommended)

$ slv c - Launch AI Console

Manual Setup:

$ slv validator init - Initialize validator config

$ slv validator deploy -n testnet

$ slv --help for more information

Delegation you can watch happen

Type what you want in plain language. Each request routes to the specialist agent that owns it — then runs the same slv commands you would, on your own machines.

Solana Infrastructure

ERPC — erpc.global

Solana Top-Tier RPC

ERPC is a global Solana RPC — 300+ edge servers worldwide, with the nearest one selected automatically on every request. Low-latency, stable connections from any region, on the same infrastructure that serves Solana's SWQoS bandwidth.

Core Node Locations

Built where Solana runs fastest.

Across a global footprint, edge servers sit in premium data centers chosen where Solana performs best — so a request from any region lands on a short, fast path to the network.

Speed is determined by distance to Solana.

The region matters. But a city name alone is not a network path. Even in the same city, external transit and extra hops can add latency. ERPC selects data centers close to Solana servers, then keeps routes short with no external transit and sustained turbo boost.

Global Edge Network

The closest server, automatically.

300+ edge servers
A worldwide proxy network puts a Solana RPC endpoint close to wherever your requests originate.
Nearest selected per request
Every request is routed to the closest server automatically, so latency stays low without manual region picking.
No external transit
Short routes with no external AS hops keep round-trip time and jitter tight under load.

Closest-edge routing keeps Solana access fast and stable from any region.

The Request Path

What every request actually does

Edge servers: 300+
Network hops: Single edge
External transit: None
Endpoint: Standard Solana RPC
Cold starts: None

Latency is distance, and distance is the one cost no code can recover. Keeping the path short keeps the round trip short.

What it is not

Not a region you pick by hand — the nearest edge is chosen for you.
Not a cache — every request reaches live Solana state.
Not a node you provision, patch, or keep online.

The same infrastructure that serves Solana's SWQoS bandwidth.

Everything you need.A direct line to Solana.

RPC, Geyser gRPC, and Direct Shreds run on the network right next to Solana. You talk to the chain directly.

The DAO

Operating experience, turned into open source

Validators DAO operates validators, RPC, and infrastructure on Solana — and reflects that hands-on experience back into products and open source.

What we learn running the network becomes better tools, better documentation, and open source others can build on — SLV, SLV AI, and ERPC. The goal isn't any single product; it's the quality of the whole Solana network.
