Growing Demand in Amsterdam — A Core Hub for the Solana Network
Amsterdam has become one of Europe’s key Solana validator hubs, comparable to Frankfurt in both validator density and total stake.
As one of Europe’s largest financial and network centers, Amsterdam provides ultra-low-latency connectivity through AMS-IX and NL-IX.
ERPC’s data center in Amsterdam maintains direct PNI (Private Network Interconnect) connections with major Solana validators and Jito Block Engine.

This enables extremely stable and ultra-low-latency environments for Solana-based workloads such as transaction propagation, Shreds processing, and gRPC communication.
Compared with Frankfurt, Amsterdam also offers higher flexibility in sourcing the latest CPUs and high-quality memory modules, resulting in faster hardware updates and stable supply.

As these advantages have become more widely recognized, demand for Amsterdam-based infrastructure has surged, leading to this sold-out situation.
Overview of the Ryzen 9950X Bare-Metal Configuration
The Ryzen 9950X features a 16-core CPU running at up to 5.7 GHz, paired with 192 GB ECC DDR5 memory, NVMe storage, and a 10 Gbps high-bandwidth network interface.
As a non-virtualized bare-metal environment, it delivers raw CPU performance directly to applications without virtualization overhead.
As a non-virtualized bare-metal environment, it delivers raw CPU performance directly to applications without virtualization overhead.
It demonstrates exceptional performance in latency-sensitive workloads such as Solana RPC, gRPC, Shredstream, and trading-related applications requiring millisecond-level responsiveness.
Each node operates on the same PNI network as major Solana validators and Jito Block Engine, ensuring stable and consistent latency performance.

Sold Out — Strengthening Future Supply
Amsterdam, alongside Frankfurt, is one of the most critical hubs in ERPC’s global Solana infrastructure network.
The next batch—centered on the Ryzen 9950X / 192 GB RAM configuration—is already being prepared, and priority announcements will be made via the official Validators DAO Discord.
Those interested are encouraged to join the waiting list.

Stream Bundle Pro Also Sold Out — Rising Demand for Dedicated Shredstream
The “Stream Bundle Pro” plan, centered around a dedicated Shredstream environment, has also sold out.
Utilizing UDP-based ultra-low-latency transmission, it achieves more than 87% faster performance compared with shared environments.
It supports simultaneous subscription to multiple Shredstreams, allowing data to be processed based on the earliest arrival—now a standard approach in professional-grade Solana deployments.

VPS Lineup Continues Strong — Fifth-Generation EPYC-Based Virtualization
The Amsterdam region has also been upgraded with AMD’s latest 5th-generation EPYC processors.
The EPYC series is designed for high-efficiency virtualization, featuring a large number of memory channels and minimal virtualization overhead.
ERPC’s VPS configurations avoid excessive virtualization layers, maximizing the effective performance of each CPU core.

This allows multiple cores to efficiently share cache, improving data reuse and consistency across workloads.
In some use cases—especially those heavy on CPU cache and memory access—performance even exceeds that of Ryzen-based VPS configurations.

Challenges Addressed by ERPC and Validators DAO
- Transaction failures and latency fluctuations common in standard RPC environments
- Performance throttling imposed by general infrastructure providers
- The strong impact of network distance on communication quality
- Difficulty for smaller projects to access high-performance infrastructure
Through developing the open-source Solana NFT card-game project Epics DAO, we experienced firsthand how challenging it is to obtain a reliable, high-speed Solana development environment.
This led us to build our own infrastructure platform, which later evolved into ERPC and SLV.

In finance-related and trading applications—where every millisecond matters—latency and stability directly affect user experience.
Due to the distributed nature of validators and Web3’s architectural complexity, many Solana projects have long struggled with inconsistent performance.

As Solana evolves with next-generation technologies such as Alpenglow, we expect faster block finalization and significant network-layer improvements.
ERPC and Validators DAO will continue to adapt to these advancements while enhancing the overall development and user experience across the Solana ecosystem.
Both ERPC and SLV are positioned as integral parts of this mission.
