ERPC Launches Dublin Region for Solana Direct Shreds (Shredstream). Expanding the Global Range Where Fastest Detection Is Achieved Across 9 Locations

ERPC, operated by ELSOUL LABO B.V. (Headquarters: Amsterdam, the Netherlands; CEO: Fumitake Kawasaki) and Validators DAO, announces the launch of a new Dublin region for Solana Direct Shreds (Shredstream).

With this expansion, ERPC’s Direct Shreds is now delivered from nine global locations. ERPC covers all regions provided by Jito and operates an extended distribution network that includes additional locations. Direct Shreds is designed as a foundational layer to establish stable Shreds detection conditions—the earliest data flow in Solana’s real-world operations—without regional disparity.

In real-world Solana operations, transaction submission, block production, Shreds detection, state updates, and surrounding processes occur in rapid succession, where each result becomes the input condition for the next decision. Delayed detection leads to delayed submission, which alters the observed state, and these differences compound as a chain reaction. Shreds sit at the very front of this chain.

Fast average RPC or WebSocket response times alone do not stabilize operational outcomes. When Shreds detection fluctuates, every downstream process is affected.

In practice, what dominates results is not short-term averages, but latency distribution during peak conditions and stability over continuous operation. Network jitter, momentary disconnections, and reconnection behavior create detection gaps, and those gaps directly disrupt submission timing and follow-up execution. Direct Shreds focuses on continuously maintaining stable detection conditions at this earliest stage.

Web3 development environments exist globally, and projects are built without being confined to specific geographic regions. When differences in development and operational experience are allowed to persist between regions, project growth speed and stability inevitably become dependent on geography.

ERPC continuously improves its infrastructure so that developers and operators can construct validation, development, and production environments under as uniform conditions as possible, regardless of location.

A typical source of regional disparity is the normalization of long-distance connections, which lengthen detection paths. Distance increases not only latency, but also the number of congestion points, jitter, momentary failure risks, and retransmission conditions along the route. As more processing points become geographically closer, detection conditions stabilize, allowing projects to advance their logic and operational design without being constrained by location.

Solana’s leader schedule continuously rotates around the world, meaning the origin point of block production is always moving. As that origin shifts, the location where the fastest detection is achieved also changes from moment to moment.

Because of this, achieving fastest detection cannot be completed through optimization of a single location. Expanding the overall range in which fastest detection can occur—and increasing the number of locations that can become the fastest in each situation—is what stabilizes real-world outcomes.

Additionally, Shredstreams in different regions do not receive identical timing or loss characteristics, even for the same block. This arises from differences in network paths and congestion conditions. As coverage increases, projects gain more locations where fastest detection can be achieved. By observing and combining multiple regions, systems also gain greater flexibility to mitigate the impact of jitter and packet loss during peak periods.

Europe has a high concentration of Solana usage, with development and operational activity densely distributed. Under these conditions, load tends to concentrate on individual locations, causing communication conditions to fluctuate during peak periods.

By adding Dublin alongside Amsterdam, Frankfurt, and London, the range of users who can operate within short-distance connectivity inside Europe expands, and more locations become capable of achieving fastest detection for their respective regions.

This expansion is not solely about speed. As long-distance traffic decreases, network load drops, congestion points are distributed, and reconnection instability is reduced. As a result, detection continuity stabilizes and delivery conditions that remain resilient during peak periods are established. Because Europe is a heavily utilized region, expanding coverage there simultaneously improves speed, stability, and load distribution.

Long-distance communication increases not only individual latency, but overall network load. Longer paths introduce more points where congestion and jitter can emerge, making instability more visible during peak usage.

As more nearby processing locations become available, each user can receive Shreds over shorter paths, traffic is geographically distributed, and network-wide conditions stabilize. ERPC continues to expand global coverage to improve worldwide developer experience and user experience, while maintaining the health of the network’s foundational conditions.

ERPC’s Direct Shreds is delivered from the following nine regions:

This distribution network expands the range in which fastest detection can be achieved across regions and establishes a foundation for development and operations that does not depend on geographic constraints. ERPC will continue to improve Direct Shreds delivery quality and coverage, raising the upper limits of real-world operational conditions.
