ERPC Announces December Price Update on the Premium Ryzen VPS for Solana — Existing Contracts and November Sign-ups to Retain Current Rates

2025.11.06
ELSOUL LABO B.V. (Headquarters: Amsterdam, Netherlands; CEO: Fumitake Kawasaki) and Validators DAO, the operators of ERPC, announced a price adjustment for the high-performance virtual server series “Premium Ryzen VPS,” optimized for Solana applications, effective December 2025.
Due to the surging demand for premium data center resources, rising component costs for CPUs, memory, and storage, and a global increase in high-performance computing demand across both AI and blockchain sectors, it has become difficult to continue offering the current pricing.

Effective Date and Existing Contract Handling

The new pricing will take effect in December 2025.
Existing Premium Ryzen VPS subscribers, as well as new customers who initiate subscriptions from the current limited stock during November 2025, will continue to enjoy the current pricing as long as their subscriptions are renewed without interruption.
Therefore, users who sign up during November will retain the old rates moving forward.

Details of the Price Adjustment

From December 2025, monthly pricing for Premium Ryzen VPS and related plans will be adjusted as follows:
  • Premium Ryzen VPS (2 cores / 8GB RAM)
    Previous: €42/m → New: €64/m
  • Premium Ryzen VPS+ (4 cores / 16GB RAM)
    Previous: €64/m → New: €96/m
  • Premium Ryzen VPS++ (8 cores / 32GB RAM)
    Previous: €96/m → New: €128/m
  • Dedicated Ryzen Premium Direct Shreds
    Previous: €299/m → New: €360/m
  • Stream Bundle Next
    Previous: €360/m → New: €420/m
A detailed pricing chart and restock schedule will be announced in the official December release.

Background

In recent years, the global demand for high-density computing has surged due to advancements in AI training and generative models.
At the same time, blockchain networks are accelerating their pursuit of scalability and performance.
Led by Solana, architectures where node processing capability, bandwidth, and storage speed directly affect overall network performance have become standard, making hardware quality and data center placement more critical than ever.
Amid this global trend, the supply of high-performance CPUs, ECC DDR5 memory, and NVMe4 storage for data centers has tightened, and prices have risen significantly.
In particular, high-frequency processors such as the Ryzen 9950X and equivalent components are increasingly difficult to source.
To maintain quality and stable supply, ERPC has decided to revise its pricing accordingly.

Why Premium Ryzen VPS Is Chosen

Premium Ryzen VPS features a 5.7GHz Ryzen CPU, ECC DDR5 memory, NVMe4 storage, and dual 25Gbps network interfaces.
With a fully dedicated, non–overcommitted architecture, it delivers consistent and stable performance.
Operating in the same network environment as Jito Block Engine, Dedicated Shreds, and Geyser gRPC, it enables zero-distance communication without routing through the public internet—achieving the shortest possible data path.
This provides a clear advantage for transaction detection and real-time workloads where millisecond-level differences affect outcomes.

Integrated Configuration: Dedicated Premium Shreds and Stream Bundles

Direct Shreds Limited Editions
The dedicated Shredstream service “Dedicated Premium Shreds” achieves up to 87% faster performance than shared Shredstream environments, offering significant benefits for trading applications and monitoring near leader slots.
It also supports ultra-fast UDP forwarding, providing exceptional real-time performance even compared to shared environments.
By combining ERPC’s “Stream Bundles” plan, multiple Shredstream, gRPC, RPC, and SWQoS endpoints can be operated in an integrated manner.
This configuration maintains redundancy while balancing cost efficiency and performance, enabling professionals to achieve both speed and stability within a short deployment period.
Stream Bundles are designed as an integrated configuration that maximizes the advantages of dedicated Shreds while keeping operational costs low.

Regional Strategy and Global Optimization

Solana Validators Map
The Solana network is globally distributed, and its leader schedule shifts between regions over time.
As a result, utilizing servers located closest to the current leader region enables faster detection and lower latency for block production and transaction events.
Frankfurt (FRA) and Amsterdam (AMS) host the largest concentration of validators in the world, making them the most popular regions due to their proximity to leader slots for extended durations.
While competition in these regions is high, they offer clear latency advantages for transaction monitoring and Shredstream ingestion.
Conversely, selecting regions with fewer validators can also be an effective strategy, and many professional operators ultimately deploy resources across all major regions to achieve global optimization.
By combining high-performance VPS nodes with identical clock speeds and network environments across data centers, users can minimize performance loss while building a globally efficient infrastructure.
ERPC continues to support such strategic resource deployments, helping developers build real-time, low-latency environments for Solana-based workloads.

Challenges Addressed by ERPC and Validators DAO

  • Transaction failures and latency fluctuations common in RPC environments
  • Performance throttling imposed by many infrastructure providers
  • The significant impact of network distance on communication quality
  • The difficulty small projects face in accessing high-quality infrastructure
Through the development of the open-source Solana NFT card game project Epics DAO, we encountered firsthand the challenge of obtaining a high-quality, low-latency Solana development environment.
Building on this experience, we created our own platform and now provide ERPC and SLV to help developers access the optimal infrastructure for their projects.
As Solana continues to evolve—with new technologies and higher throughput requirements—ERPC and Validators DAO remain committed to enhancing both developer and user experiences across the ecosystem.
ERPC and SLV are positioned as integral parts of this ongoing effort.
