ERPC Announces Major Tune-up of Solana RPC, gRPC, and Shredstream Shared Endpoints with Enhanced Low Latency and Stability Across All Connections
ERPC Announces Major Tune-up of Solana RPC, gRPC, and Shredstream Shared Endpoints with Enhanced Low Latency and Stability Across All Connections
ELSOUL LABO B.V. (Headquarters: Amsterdam, The Netherlands, CEO: Fumitake Kawasaki) and Validators DAO have carried out a major tune-up of Solana shared endpoints.
This improvement applies to RPC, gRPC, and Shredstream, delivering significant gains in both low latency and stability. There are no changes to pricing, specifications, or authentication methods, and users can benefit from the improvements with their existing connection settings.
Background
ERPC continuously pursues research and development, promptly implementing performance improvements whenever new methods are discovered, and consistently working to enhance the entire platform. This enables us to deliver industry-leading products at accessible prices.
We have personally experienced how difficult it is, especially for startups, to obtain a stable Solana communication environment. This is the challenge we are committed to solving through our ongoing efforts.
Details of the Upgrade
With this upgrade, all RPC / gRPC / Shreds nodes have been migrated into major validator networks, achieving lower latency than ever before. All nodes have been reinforced, and multiple nodes have been provisioned to significantly increase stability.
Shreds nodes have also been strengthened, and reinforced Shreds are now feeding into RPC and gRPC nodes, resulting in a reduction of 80–100ms in average gRPC latency. In the Frankfurt region, Epics DAO’s validator is fully linked and staked, further improving quality for both RPC and gRPC. A shared SWQoS endpoint is also available, delivering even higher-quality connectivity.
Epics DAO’s validator continues to actively gather stake and has been recognized for its open-source contributions, including the development of the validator tool solv (which became the foundation of SLV). Multiple Solana staking pools have already committed to providing stake, which will be applied progressively. This increase in stake directly contributes to the ongoing quality improvements of the ERPC platform.
About the Bundle Plan
The Bundle Plan brings RPC, gRPC, and Shreds together into one cost-effective package. Instead of having to contract each connection method separately, users can now access all of them in a single plan, reducing costs while making it easier to apply these connections in production environments.
For users already leveraging RPC and gRPC, migrating to the Bundle allows them to adopt Shredstream at no additional cost, enabling flexible use across both production and testing. This makes the Bundle Plan the ideal option for projects seeking to balance speed and reliability.

About Premium VPS
Premium Ryzen VPS delivers a decisive performance advantage over typical VPS offerings in the market. Powered by the world’s fastest 5.7GHz high-clock CPU, ECC DDR5 memory, NVMe4 storage, and dual 25Gbps networking, it is designed with zero overcommitment. This ensures consistent, bare-metal-class processing power even in a virtualized environment.
In addition, by placing the servers within the same data centers as Jito Shredstream and major Solana validators, our zero-distance strategy eliminates bottlenecks in both computational and network latency. Being located in the same network cuts out internet-related delays, enabling even faster communication. This architecture, which combines performance and cost efficiency, has earned broad support from users.

Challenges Solved by ERPC and Validators DAO
- Transaction failures and latency fluctuations common in general 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
We first encountered these challenges during the development of the open-source Solana NFT card game project Epics DAO, where it was clear that a high-quality, low-latency Solana development environment was not easily available. To address this, we built our own platform, which has since become the foundation for both ERPC and SLV.
Applications in the financial sector are especially mission-critical, where delays and errors directly affect user experience. In Solana development, overlapping validator distributions and Web3-specific mechanisms make it difficult to manage the entire system, leading many projects to struggle with instability and latency.
We provide the high-performance development infrastructure that projects truly need, improving both the development and user experience across the Solana ecosystem. ERPC and SLV are positioned as integral parts of this mission.
