ERPC Launches Annual Payment Plans for Solana Infrastructure

ELSOUL LABO B.V. (Headquarters: Amsterdam, the Netherlands; CEO: Fumitake Kawasaki) and Validators DAO are pleased to announce that ERPC has launched annual payment plans for Solana RPC products, VPS, and bare metal servers on the ERPC platform.

By selecting annual payment, eligible plans receive up to a 30% discount. For projects with confirmed long-term usage, including Solana applications, real-time data processing, trading bots, monitoring systems, analytics infrastructure, and validator-related workloads, ERPC’s Solana-optimized infrastructure can now be used continuously at a lower monthly equivalent cost.

Solana-Optimized Infrastructure Now Available with Annual Discounts

ERPC provides Solana RPC, WebSocket, Solana Geyser gRPC, Solana Shredstream, VPS, and bare metal servers on a unified platform. By optimizing physical proximity to the Solana network, validator quality, server performance, network routing, and real-time data delivery together, ERPC serves as an infrastructure foundation for the execution quality of Solana applications.

The new annual payment option is a contract choice for users who plan to use this Solana-optimized infrastructure over the long term. Users can now choose between starting flexibly with monthly payment or reducing costs through annual payment, making it easier to select a contract style that fits the project phase and budget plan.

ERPC’s server and network resources are limited to premium resources suited for Solana workloads. High-performance CPUs, sufficient memory, NVMe, low-latency networks, proximity to Solana, and tuned network routes are not general surplus resources. They are limited infrastructure resources with continuous demand.

These premium resources are affected by demand, procurement conditions, data center inventory, network configuration, and hardware refresh cycles. This announcement does not overstate the possibility of changes to existing prices, but over the long term, procurement costs and service prices tend to rise.

By using the annual payment plan, users can apply up to a 30% discount based on the currently available pricing level and gain better visibility over usage costs for a fixed period. For projects that are built around continuous usage, this is a practical option for using Solana-optimized infrastructure over the long term while receiving a discount from the current pricing level.

Eligible Products: Solana RPC Products, VPS, and Bare Metal Servers

Annual payment plans are available for Solana RPC products, VPS, and bare metal servers on the ERPC platform. For eligible plans, users can switch between monthly and annual payment in the ERPC Dashboard, and the discounted price is shown when annual payment is selected.

For VPS, users can access the EPYC VPS lineup optimized for the Solana network through annual payment. Lightweight applications, test environments, initial bot operations, monitoring processes, and auxiliary backend processes can use a server environment designed around zero-distance communication with the ERPC platform, even when a dedicated bare metal server is not required.

For bare metal servers, ERPC supports workloads that require higher CPU performance, memory, NVMe, network bandwidth, and dedicated resources. For high-frequency real-time processing, large-scale subscriptions, custom Solana RPC configurations, heavy analytics processing, and latency-sensitive applications, a bare metal configuration with dedicated resources is often more suitable than VPS.

For Solana RPC products, ERPC’s RPC services can be used through annual payment according to application scale, traffic volume, real-time requirements, connection count, and transaction sending requirements. Users can start flexibly with monthly payment and switch to annual payment once usage volume and configuration become clear, allowing the contract structure to match the project stage.

Reducing the Monthly Equivalent Cost of Confirmed Long-Term Configurations

In production environments, once an infrastructure configuration is selected, it is often used continuously for a certain period. Solana RPC, WebSocket, Solana Geyser gRPC, Solana Shredstream, VPS, and bare metal servers form the foundation that supports application operation, monitoring, data processing, and transaction sending. As usage increases, infrastructure selection becomes not only a technical decision but also a decision directly tied to business continuity and cost management.

Annual payment plans are suitable for projects with confirmed long-term usage. For Solana applications already in production, continuously running trading bots, on-chain analytics infrastructure that requires constant monitoring, long-running WebSocket subscriptions, backend systems that require stable server placement, and dedicated infrastructure used continuously by a team, choosing annual payment instead of monthly payment can reduce the monthly equivalent cost.

For short-term testing or PoC phases, users can start with monthly payment and switch to annual payment once the configuration, region, required performance, and usage volume become clear. This makes it possible to begin small, validate the product direction and required performance, and then secure the long-term configuration through annual payment, balancing deployment flexibility with ongoing cost reduction.

Securing Long-Term Usage Based on the Current Pricing Level

The new annual payment plan allows users to apply up to a 30% discount based on the current pricing level for long-term usage. This does not emphasize future price changes, but for projects with clear usage plans, it offers a practical benefit: securing Solana-optimized infrastructure at the discounted price available now.

This becomes especially meaningful when multiple Solana RPC products, VPS, and bare metal servers are used together. The monthly equivalent difference can become substantial over a full year. For configurations where long-term use is already confirmed, the annual discount is not just a short-term price reduction. It is a practical option for lowering ongoing operational costs.

For infrastructure built on premium resources, price is not the only important factor. Securing the required placement, performance, and network conditions for a fixed period is also important. Annual payment makes it easier for companies and projects running production environments to build a long-term plan around the current pricing level, both from a budgeting perspective and from an infrastructure management perspective.

Annual Payment Can Be Selected from the ERPC Dashboard

Annual payment plans can be selected from the ERPC Dashboard. On the subscription addition screen, users can choose the target category and switch between monthly and annual payment to check the discounted annual price.

When adding multiple plans at the same time, users can place them together in the cart and proceed to a single checkout. VPS and Solana RPC products, Solana RPC products and bare metal servers, multiple VPS plans, and other combinations of services needed for operations can be arranged together, making the flow suitable for both new deployments and expansions of existing configurations.

The ERPC Dashboard supports Japanese, English, Chinese, and Russian. Users can review plans in the language they are most comfortable with and compare monthly and annual payment options while proceeding through the contract process.

Operational Benefits Beyond Pricing

The value of annual payment is not limited to the lower displayed price. Securing infrastructure in advance for long-term use also makes budget planning, contract management, operational design, and internal decision-making easier.

For Solana applications, the quality of Solana RPC, the arrival speed of real-time data, server placement, network routing, and the stability of the transaction sending layer affect product experience, monitoring quality, and operational decisions. Designing these elements around a fixed usage period, rather than changing them based on monthly circumstances, is important from both technical and operational perspectives.

For applications that require real-time performance, changes to endpoints or servers can affect latency, jitter, processing start timing, and the consistency of monitoring results. Continuing with the same configuration on a long-term basis helps reduce the verification work and operational uncertainty that come with configuration changes.

Combining SWQoS, Real-Time Streams, and Servers on the Same Platform

On the ERPC platform, users can combine Solana RPC, SWQoS, Solana Geyser gRPC, Solana Shredstream, VPS, and bare metal servers. Instead of spreading receiving, processing, sending, and monitoring across distant environments, users can build these functions more easily on a unified platform optimized for Solana.

The quality of SWQoS is not determined only by whether an endpoint exists. Validator quality, network routes, hardware, tuning, and distance from the Solana network are all important. ERPC provides an environment suited for Solana workloads by combining the Epics DAO validator, zero-distance platform routes, Solana-oriented hardware selection and tuning, and network optimization.

A configuration where data received through Solana Geyser gRPC or Solana Shredstream is processed on a VPS or bare metal server within the same platform, and then sent through Solana RPC or SWQoS when needed, is easier to operate as an integrated setup. By using the annual payment plan, configurations that combine real-time streams for receiving, VPS or bare metal servers for processing, and Solana RPC products for sending can be incorporated into a fixed-period operational plan while reducing the monthly equivalent cost.

AS200261 Solana-Optimized Data Center and Continuous Research and Development

Behind ERPC is ELSOUL LABO’s ongoing research and development of Solana-optimized infrastructure. ELSOUL LABO has been approved for the Dutch government’s WBSO research and development support program for five consecutive years since 2022. The company continues research and development in Solana RPC infrastructure, validator operations, real-time data delivery, and AI agent-based operations and development support, and the results are reflected across the ERPC platform.

The Solana-optimized data center operated with the company’s own ASN, AS200261, assigned by RIPE NCC, has also started operation. By optimizing distance to the Solana network, network routes, server configurations, and operational automation together, ERPC is building an environment suited for Solana applications and validator-related workloads.

The annual payment plan is a contract option for using this Solana-optimized infrastructure over the long term. It is not a short-term campaign. It is an improvement designed to make ERPC’s infrastructure foundation easier to use for production operations, continuous development, and long-term projects.

A Long-Term Configuration Option for Production Operations

For production Solana applications, it is important to continue operating a verified configuration stably rather than changing infrastructure frequently over short periods. How Solana RPC, Solana Geyser gRPC, Solana Shredstream, VPS, and bare metal servers are combined directly affects application processing quality, monitoring structure, and operating costs.

Annual payment plans offer a way to apply up to a 30% discount based on the current pricing level for configurations built around continuous usage. Developers preparing for production operations, users already using ERPC continuously, and companies or projects considering long-term configurations that include VPS or bare metal servers can compare monthly and annual payment options and choose the contract structure that fits their operational plan.
