ERPC Announces Sold-Out Status of Cost-Performance Bare Metal Servers for Solana Validator Clients in Frankfurt
ELSOUL LABO B.V. (Headquarters: Amsterdam, Netherlands; CEO: Fumitake Kawasaki) and Validators DAO have announced that the cost-performance model “SLV Metal MV (€580/month)” of ERPC’s bare metal server series for Solana validator clients has sold out in the Frankfurt region.
A waitlist has already opened, and existing registrants will be notified in order of registration as new units become available.
Background: Expanding Demand for Research and Node Validation
In blockchain infrastructure, communication stability and speed are greatly influenced by server placement and network path quality.Within the Solana network, minimizing physical distance and optimizing network routes are crucial to improve Shreds propagation speed and validator synchronization accuracy.
In recent years, research using non-voting nodes, development of custom clients, Shredstream analysis, and propagation visualization have accelerated globally.
The “SLV Metal MV” model has gained high demand as it balances stable throughput with cost efficiency, making it suitable for validator operations, R&D, and gRPC environment testing.
Why Frankfurt Sold Out First
Frankfurt (FRA) is one of Europe’s central hubs, where Solana validators and Shredstream sources are most densely concentrated.
Due to the high number of validators and the short physical distance to major node clusters, demand naturally accumulates among users seeking the most optimized environments.
As a result, the Frankfurt region’s inventory sold out earlier than other locations.
Why ERPC’s Bare Metal Servers Are Preferred
Within this region, ERPC operates from a data center directly connected to the DoubleZero dedicated Solana network, allowing operation on the same network layer as major validator clusters.
This configuration achieves a measured round-trip latency of under 0.2 ms to Shreds data sources, minimizing intermediaries and maintaining stable block synchronization and transaction propagation over long periods.
Even within Frankfurt, network paths and facility positioning can make a significant difference in results. ERPC’s bare metal servers are deployed as close as physically possible to Solana node clusters, delivering consistent and reproducible performance across research, development, and production use cases.
Additionally, ERPC imposes no CPU throttling or power-saving restrictions — all cores are operated at full turbo speeds. Unlike typical environments where turbo limits or power capping reduce real-world performance, ERPC systems maintain their rated processing capacity at all times.
Availability and Recommendations
At this time, the next restock for the Frankfurt region is undetermined. Waitlist registrants will receive priority notification as new servers become available.
Other regions (Amsterdam, Chicago, etc.) also have limited remaining capacity, and early reservation is recommended for users planning development or validation workloads.
SLV Metal Lineup
While the “SLV Metal MV (€580/month)” has sold out, ERPC continues to offer the higher-performance 32-core model “SLV Metal MV++ (€980/month)” and the balanced “MV+ (€720/month).”
In addition, although not listed in the pricing chart, the 32-core “EPYC 9354P” model offers comparable cost-performance despite being slightly higher in price than the 9254.

Challenges Addressed by ERPC and Validators DAO
- Transaction failures and latency fluctuations common in RPC environments
- Performance throttling by general infrastructure providers
- The significant impact of network distance on communication quality
- Limited access to high-performance infrastructure for small projects
Through the development of the Solana NFT card game project Epics DAO, aimed at supporting open-source development, we encountered the challenge that fast and reliable Solana development infrastructure was not easily accessible.
To address this, we built our own platform — the foundation upon which ERPC and SLV are provided today.

In financial and high-frequency applications, even slight delays or errors directly affect user experience.
Because Solana combines distributed validators with the structural complexity of Web3, many projects have struggled with instability and unpredictable latency.

Our goal is to provide the reliable, high-performance foundation needed for mission-critical development, contributing to improved developer and user experiences across the Solana ecosystem.
Both ERPC and SLV are positioned as integral parts of this initiative.
