ERPC Implements Price Adjustment for Premium Bare-Metal Servers for Solana Applications
ELSOUL LABO B.V. (Headquarters: Amsterdam, the Netherlands, CEO: Fumitake Kawasaki) and Validators DAO have announced a price adjustment for ERPC’s premium bare-metal server lineup "Metal Premium APP++", designed for high-performance Solana application environments.
The previous monthly rate of €320 will be updated to €390/month, reflecting the rising costs of memory and storage components. Existing subscription contracts will remain at the previous price as long as they are continuously renewed.
Background and Positioning of the Premium Bare-Metal Line
The Metal Premium APP++ configuration features an AMD Ryzen 9950X (5.7GHz, 16 cores), 128GB ECC DDR5 memory, NVMe storage, and a 50Gbps network, optimized for ultra-low-latency performance.
With its zero-distance architecture, operating within the same network as Shredstream data sources and major validators, it achieves round-trip latency under 0.1ms — one of the lowest in the industry.
Because it runs directly on bare metal without virtualization, the CPU’s processing power can be allocated entirely to the application, providing a clear performance advantage for Solana RPC, Geyser gRPC, and Shredstream — workloads where latency directly determines outcomes.
Considering the recent surge in the cost of ECC DDR5 memory and high-performance NVMe drives, this price adjustment has been implemented to maintain the same level of quality and supply stability.
Frankfurt Availability
In Frankfurt (FRA), the Ryzen 9950X bare-metal servers (Metal Premium APP++) currently have an approximate two-month lead time. The Ryzen 7950X configuration (Metal Premium APP+) remains out of stock at this time.
Other regions are also experiencing limited availability, so we recommend contacting us early for reservations.

All servers are deployed within the same network as Shredstream sources, achieving sub–0.1ms round-trip latency through zero-distance placement.
Premium VPS in the Same Datacenter
Within the same data center, Premium Ryzen VPS instances are available under the same network conditions.
Just like the bare-metal servers, these VPS instances are connected at zero distance to Shredstream sources, achieving approximately 0.1ms ping.
They are ideal for lightweight applications or use cases prioritizing location optimization over raw throughput.

Dedicated Bare-Metal Servers for Solana Apps
In addition to the premium series, standard dedicated bare-metal servers (€180/€240) are also available.
These servers are connected to the Solana validator network via Private Network Interconnects (PNI) and have demonstrated round-trip latencies below approximately 0.1–0.2ms.
They are well-suited for users who wish to balance cost efficiency and high performance, and are currently available for immediate deployment.

Stream Bundle Pro Now Accepting Orders Again
Following the restock of Ryzen 9950X dedicated bare-metal servers, ERPC has resumed accepting orders for "Stream Bundle Pro", a high-performance integrated plan centered around dedicated Shredstream.
This bundle unifies Geyser gRPC, Solana RPC, and SWQoS endpoints within a single configuration, enabling the fastest data retrieval, reliable verification, and seamless transaction submission.
It allows existing gRPC environments to be maintained while receiving faster Shreds on the same infrastructure, enabling step-by-step performance scaling.

Dedicated Shredstream adopts ultra-low-latency UDP transmission, providing a verified performance improvement of over 87% compared to shared environments.
The data center is also connected to DoubleZero, operating near major Frankfurt data sources and Jito Block Engine, minimizing latency while maintaining stable throughput.

For professional users, running multiple dedicated streams in parallel and prioritizing the earliest-arriving data has become the standard configuration.
Stream Bundle Pro allows these streams to be contracted collectively, combining Solana RPC and SWQoS environments to ensure speed, reliability, and scalability simultaneously.

Challenges Addressed by ERPC and Validators DAO
- Transaction failures and latency fluctuations common in RPC environments
- Performance throttling by many infrastructure providers
- The significant impact of physical network distance on data quality
- The difficulty for smaller projects to access high-quality infrastructure
Through the development of Epics DAO, an open-source Solana NFT card game project, we recognized that obtaining a high-quality, low-latency Solana development environment was unexpectedly difficult.
To solve this, we built our own platform, which became the foundation for ERPC and SLV.

In the financial sector especially, applications are mission-critical, where even minor latency or errors directly affect the user experience.
Given Solana’s distributed validator structure and complex Web3 architecture, many projects have struggled with instability and unpredictable delays.

We aim to deliver the performance infrastructure Solana developers truly need, enhancing both development experience and user experience across the ecosystem.
ERPC and SLV are positioned as integral parts of this broader mission.
