ERPC Upgrades Solana RPC Shared Endpoints Across 7 Regions. Major Enhancements in Stability and Low Latency for Geyser gRPC and Shredstream
ERPC Upgrades Solana RPC Shared Endpoints Across 7 Regions. Major Enhancements in Stability and Low Latency for Geyser gRPC and Shredstream
ELSOUL LABO B.V. (Headquarters: Amsterdam, Netherlands, CEO: Fumitake Kawasaki) and Validators DAO have implemented a large-scale performance upgrade for Solana shared endpoints. The affected regions are Frankfurt, Amsterdam, London, New York, Chicago, Tokyo, and Singapore. Improvements include node expansion, performance tuning across all proxies, and adjustments to Shreds through more active thread utilization and improved parallel processing efficiency.
As a result, stable low latency and high throughput are now maintained even during peak times, with Geyser gRPC and Shredstream showing particularly significant performance improvements.
There are no changes to pricing, specifications, rate limits, or authentication methods. You can continue using your existing connection settings and immediately benefit from the upgrades.
Thank you as always for your continued support.
Background and Purpose
Over the past weeks, usage of shared endpoints has surged, leading to observed increases in processing load and latency during peak hours. To address this, we expanded nodes, fine-tuned processing systems, and incorporated accumulated research results into this upgrade. These measures go beyond simply reducing delays, providing smoother and more stable responses than ever before. We encourage you to experience the improvements for yourself.
Features of ERPC
ERPC is a high-performance RPC infrastructure purpose-built for Solana. With a zero-distance design philosophy that minimizes external network round-trips, it delivers consistently fast and stable responses. It is optimal for everyday data queries and transaction submissions.
Features of gRPC
Geyser gRPC provides real-time streaming of Solana account changes and transaction events.
In this upgrade, we introduced a dedicated high-clock Shreds Forwarder to enhance latest block acquisition assistance for both RPC and gRPC. This makes data retrieval closer to block time possible, while greatly improving stability and latency.
Connection management and delivery efficiency have also been optimized, ensuring stable connections even during long sessions. With fewer retries and resynchronizations required, gRPC is now more reliable for transaction monitoring, event tracking, and other latency-sensitive use cases.
Features of Shredstream
Shredstream is an ultra-fast stream that receives order book updates and in-block events via the shortest possible path.
Because it delivers data at an earlier stage than Geyser gRPC, many users rely on Shredstream for “detection of potential signals” and Geyser gRPC for “confirmation of reliable information.”
This is due to the difference in processing: Shreds distribute raw data before error correction and reconciliation, while Geyser gRPC distributes corrected and more complete data. As a result, Shreds is the fastest, while gRPC is the more reliable real-time stream.
In this upgrade, Shredstream now uses threads more actively and improves parallel processing efficiency. This results in greater real-time stability and fewer disruptions or dropouts even under traffic spikes.
Why Bundle Is the Best Choice
Many users have asked to try both gRPC and Shreds together without the hassle of subscribing to separate plans. To meet this need, we introduced the Bundle plan.
Detection with Shreds, decision-making with gRPC. This combination is highly effective, but until now required separate plans. With Bundle, RPC, gRPC, and Shreds are all included in one package, allowing you to use gRPC in production while testing the speed of Shreds at the same time. In addition, you can acquire ERPC tokens at a discounted rate, offering both cost efficiency and operational flexibility.
The Bundle plan has already been widely adopted and is becoming the most effective solution for combining production use and testing. We encourage you to take advantage of it. For details, please contact us via the Validators DAO official Discord.

Challenges ERPC Solves
We have built and operate dedicated Solana infrastructure with a zero-distance approach to solve the following challenges:
- Transaction failures and latency fluctuations common in generic RPC environments
- Performance throttling imposed by many infrastructure providers
- The significant impact of network distance on communication quality
- Difficulty for smaller projects to access high-quality infrastructure
Looking Ahead
ERPC has continued to evolve thanks to the support of many projects. We will keep advancing the platform through ongoing research, development, and real-world validation.
Our commitment remains to deliver the highest performance and stability for all Solana projects.
We invite you to experience this upgrade, and we sincerely appreciate your continued support.
