ERPC Begins Applying New Pricing from February 2026. Existing Contracts Remain Unchanged, Delivering the Fastest Platform Under the Most Rational Conditions
ERPC, operated by ELSOUL LABO B.V. (Amsterdam, the Netherlands) and Validators DAO, has begun applying new pricing to its Solana infrastructure services starting February 2026.
This pricing update applies only to subscriptions newly started from this point forward. For all existing customers, there are no changes to pricing or contract conditions. Existing contracts will continue under the same pricing as before.
ERPC does not determine its services based on price first. Instead, we fix the design, investment, and operational requirements necessary to deliver the fastest possible results, and then present pricing that follows from those decisions. The new pricing introduced this time is a direct extension of that approach.
Summary of Changes
The key points of this update are as follows.
- There are no changes to pricing or operational conditions for existing contracts.
- The new pricing applies only to new subscriptions started from February 2026 onward.
- Even under the new pricing, ERPC continues to pursue best-in-class performance while offering it at the most accessible price possible.
Rules for Applying the New Pricing
ERPC subscriptions are provided based on the conditions in effect at the time the contract is initiated.
This is because ERPC does not operate on a model that simply scales generic resources in bulk. Instead, we carefully select premium resources that directly impact Solana execution results and fix the best available configuration at that time.

Under this structure, attempting to add equivalent-quality resources later makes pricing more sensitive to external factors such as hardware procurement costs and data center rack availability. In contrast, subscriptions that have already been started are more likely to maintain the conditions secured at their start.
As a result, the new pricing applies only to newly started subscriptions, and existing contracts are not placed at a disadvantage afterward.
Why Starting Early Is the Most Rational Choice
In today’s infrastructure market, procurement costs for premium configurations—high-performance CPUs, ECC memory, fast NVMe storage, and low-latency networks—are on a clear upward trend.
ERPC does not respond to this environment by reducing performance to match pricing.
Configurations that degrade under congestion or operational changes that lower success rates at peak times are not options for us.

Consequently, the later equivalent-level configurations are added, the more likely pricing is to rise. By contrast, starting a subscription earlier increases the likelihood of retaining the speed and conditions secured at that time over a long period.
This is not preferential treatment through discounts or campaigns, but a structural outcome.
For teams planning validation phases or production deployment, starting early is, in itself, the most rational decision.

Changes in the External Environment and Constraints on Premium Resources
The expansion of AI and blockchain fields has significantly altered the environment surrounding data centers and server procurement. Demand growth and supply constraints are progressing simultaneously, particularly for high-performance configurations.
As blockchain-based digital assets continue toward mass adoption, resources capable of delivering real, measurable results will become increasingly limited. This trend is structural and not temporary.
ERPC’s Policy: Performance as the Absolute Standard
Most users who choose ERPC do so based on measured results obtained through comparison and verification.
ERPC meets this expectation head-on by continuing to design and invest with speed as the primary standard.

Pricing is not the result of compromise, but the outcome of optimizing design and operations to achieve the fastest possible performance.
Rather than lowering speed to fit a price, ERPC fixes speed first and then refines pricing around it. This stance has remained consistent.

The Advantage Created by Real Traffic and Continuous Improvement
At ERPC, real traffic from a wide range of use cases is continuously used to evaluate behavior across every layer, including networks, proxies, RPC, gRPC, and Shreds.
Improvements such as strengthening front-end proxies, redesigning network paths, and stabilizing gRPC and Shreds streams have all been implemented based on actual measurements.
As usage and feedback increase, bottlenecks are identified and resolved more quickly. The results are returned to all users in the form of lower latency, higher stability, and better reproducibility. ERPC continues to update what “fastest” means.
How to Check the New Pricing
Examples of the currently applied new pricing are shown below.

Subscription Start, Free Trial, and Consultation
New subscription requests, free trial starts, region selection, configuration consultations, and migration from existing environments are handled via the official Validators DAO Discord.

ERPC will continue investing in research and development with speed as the baseline, returning those results directly as performance.
We sincerely thank all users who continue to rely on ERPC.
