ERPC: Solana Application Premium Bare Metal Servers Sold Out in Frankfurt. Over Two Months of Backorder Wait Expected
ERPC: Solana Application Premium Bare Metal Servers Sold Out in Frankfurt. Over Two Months of Backorder Wait Expected
ELSOUL LABO B.V. (Headquarters: Amsterdam, the Netherlands; CEO: Fumitake Kawasaki) and Validators DAO announce that ERPC’s premium bare metal servers for Solana applications in the Frankfurt (FRA) region have sold out.
The next restock is expected in one to two months, but all guaranteed units have already been reserved, and over ten entries are currently on the waiting list. For those not registered on the priority list, a wait time of at least two months is already confirmed.
Why Frankfurt Is Chosen
Frankfurt hosts the highest concentration of Solana validators in the world and functions as a central hub of the Solana network. This high validator density means that nodes deployed in Frankfurt spend more time close to the block leaders, offering a stable and low-latency environment—an essential advantage for users seeking consistent performance.
Additionally, Frankfurt has long been Europe’s financial hub and is home to major IXs and large-scale data centers. Reducing physical network distance directly lowers latency, making it one of the most suitable locations for real-time Solana workloads.
ShredStream delivers ultra-fast data streaming via UDP, but long-distance transmission inevitably leads to packet loss and latency variation. Placing resources within the same network as the data source is the most effective way to counter this, and a zero-distance design theoretically achieves the fastest and most stable environment possible. The current sellout clearly reaffirms the high demand driven by this design philosophy.
Features and Availability of the Premium Bare Metal Servers
The sold-out premium bare metal servers in Frankfurt are deployed within the same network as major Solana nodes and run on CPUs with a world-leading 5.7 GHz clock speed. By eliminating virtualization overhead, they deliver the full power of dedicated bare metal directly to applications—earning strong support from users who demand both performance and stability.
These servers are optimized for workloads where real-time communication is critical but large memory capacity is not, such as Solana application processing, block observation, and high-frequency trading (HFT). Demand continues to rise, and every restock has sold out immediately. The greatest value lies not only in hardware performance but in operating within the same network layer as the Solana core.
Because Solana’s block leaders rotate globally, physical and geographical proximity directly affects transaction confirmation speed and stability. For this reason, Frankfurt’s position at the core of the network makes its bare metal servers exceptionally scarce and highly sought-after, resulting in competition each time new units become available.
Premium VPS as an Alternative Option
To maintain the same characteristics while offering higher cost efficiency, ERPC also provides Premium VPS configurations. Powered by the Ryzen 7950X (5.7 GHz), equipped with ECC DDR5 memory, NVMe4 storage, and dual 25 Gbps networking, these VPS instances are designed with zero overcommitment. Like the bare metal servers, they are hosted in the same data centers as major Solana nodes, avoiding the primary bottleneck of external internet routing and ensuring consistent performance.
While limited to configurations of up to 32 GB RAM, this option is ideal for users who can distribute their applications or do not require large memory capacity. Because they are available in regions with Jito Block Engine connectivity, Premium VPS instances are also suited for developers building globally distributed, high-speed Solana applications.
As Solana’s block leaders change constantly, achieving the absolute fastest data acquisition from a single location is impossible. Deploying nodes across multiple regions allows each to capture the fastest data locally. By optimizing communication paths internally, developers can build platforms that are faster and more stable than waiting at a single site. Premium VPS is particularly effective for such distributed configurations.
Availability and Contact
Frankfurt continues to experience extremely high demand, with every restock selling out immediately. The next restock is expected in one to two months, but all guaranteed units have already been reserved, and more than ten users are currently registered on the waiting list. Even joining now assumes a wait of at least two months, and the delay is expected to extend further. It is also possible that the next restock will sell out before public availability, so early consultation is recommended.
While Frankfurt restocks are particularly delayed, other regions may be able to accommodate sooner. However, current inventory is nearly depleted, and all new orders are processed on a made-to-order basis.

Challenges ERPC and Validators DAO Address
- Transaction failures and latency fluctuations common in general RPC environments
- Performance limitations imposed by many infrastructure providers
- The significant impact of network distance on communication quality
- Difficulty for small projects to access high-quality infrastructure
We encountered these same challenges during the development of the open-source Solana NFT card game project Epics DAO, realizing that reliable and high-performance Solana environments were not easily accessible. To solve this, we built our own platform, which became the foundation for ERPC and SLV.
Financial applications are particularly mission-critical, where latency and errors directly affect user experience. With distributed validators and Web3’s complex architecture intertwined, maintaining visibility and stability across the Solana network remains a major challenge for many projects.
Our goal is to provide the high-performance infrastructure essential for Solana developers, contributing to both development efficiency and user experience across the ecosystem. ERPC and SLV are core components of this mission.
