What SLV AI Tokens Are — Native Access to AI Agent Operations
SLV AI Tokens are credits for using the AI agent features of SLV. Deploying Solana validators and Solana RPC nodes, performing upgrades and downgrades, switching identities, configuring Solana Geyser gRPC, setting up Solana Shredstream, starting DoubleZero clients, and migrating nodes — all of these operational tasks can be delegated to the AI agent.
Tokens are consumed by the AI agent for loading internal tools and skills, communicating with external models, and interpreting execution results. SLV's skills and tools are designed to load only when needed and only as much as needed, structurally minimizing token consumption. Rather than loading every capability at all times, only the relevant specialist agents (Cecil, Tina, Cloud, Setzer) and necessary skills are invoked based on the request.
Connections via ChatGPT and Claude API tokens are also supported. Customers can run SLV AI using their own API keys. Separately, the SLV AI provided by ERPC ships with a model configuration optimized for the context of Solana validator and RPC operations as well as Solana app development, which helps achieve higher task accuracy and efficiency for the same token volume.
Why AI Agent Operations — Reclaiming Development Time
Operating Solana validators and RPC nodes requires deep Linux knowledge, CLI proficiency, client software version management, and incident response judgment. These take time to acquire, and even after acquisition they continue to consume developer time as daily operational work.
When the AI agent takes over operational work, developers are freed from this cognitive load and time consumption. The reclaimed time can be redirected to application logic design, user experience improvements, and new feature development — the value creation areas where developers should be focused.
SLV is not just CLI simplification. It enables a new operational style: managing Solana validators and RPC nodes through natural language conversation with an AI agent. There is no need to memorize commands or cross-reference runbooks. Asking "upgrade the testnet validator" or "set up a Geyser gRPC stream" is enough — the AI agent selects and executes the appropriate procedure.
Built on the Full R&D Knowledge of ERPC
The SLV AI agent handles everything from optimal server procurement to optimal boost settings. The knowledge accumulated through ERPC platform operations and research and development — hardware selection, disabling CPU C-states, locking the CPU governor to performance, kernel parameter optimization, network stack tuning, IRQ affinity adjustments — is all consolidated into SLV's skills and made available through the AI agent.
The Epics DAO validator, which operates as the source of ERPC's SWQoS endpoints and Epic Shreds, has reached world rank 3 (score 99.93) among all Solana validators. The optimization techniques accumulated from operating one of the world's top-tier validators are made available through SLV in a form anyone can use.
Using the SLV AI agent is equivalent to applying ERPC's operational knowledge directly to your own environment.
SLV AI Plans — Four Plans from Free to Pro
SLV AI Plans are offered in four tiers. Monthly token allowances reset at the beginning of each month.
Free (€0) — 100,000 tokens. The trial plan. All features for Solana validator and RPC node operations and Solana app development are available. The capacity is sufficient for initial conversations with the AI agent, configuration changes, and small operational tasks. For continuous operations, the Developer plan or higher is required.
Developer (€42/mo) — 4,200,000 monthly tokens. The plan for individual builders. Sufficient capacity to continuously operate testnet validators without issue and to start Solana app development. The first choice for getting serious with SLV AI.
Business (€298/mo) — 42,000,000 monthly tokens. The plan for growing teams. Sufficient capacity for managing multiple nodes and full-scale app development.
Pro (€598/mo) — 100,000,000 monthly tokens. The plan for full-scale Solana operations. Sufficient capacity to run multiple mainnet validators, multiple RPC nodes, and large-scale app development together with the AI agent.
All plans include built-in Solana skills, Solana validator node operations, Solana RPC node operations, and Solana app development.

One-Time Token Packs Also Available
When extra capacity is needed without changing plans, one-time token packs are available. Top-ups stack on the remaining balance and can be used continuously without modifying the current plan.
1M Tokens Pack (€14 one-time) — +1,000,000 tokens. Ideal for quick top-ups.
10M Tokens Pack (€98 one-time) — +10,000,000 tokens. The value pack for bulk top-ups.
These packs handle temporary spikes in monthly processing volume or specific tasks that require a larger allowance, without forcing a plan upgrade.
Just Talk to the AI Agent from Your Terminal
SLV setup is completed through the
slv onboard wizard, which guides AI provider connection, model selection, and skill configuration in one flow. After setup, running slv c launches the AI Console, and operations can begin simply by talking to the AI agent in natural language from the terminal.Asking "Do you have any servers that are good for running Solana validators?" prompts the AI agent to load the relevant context, then present mainnet validator and testnet/dev server lineups in an organized form. Server procurement is supported all the way through SLV Metal purchase, so selection, ordering, and provisioning can all proceed from the same AI Console.
Local mode is also supported. SLV can run directly on a node logged into via ssh, managing that node itself with the AI agent. With just a smartphone, it is possible to connect to a node via an ssh client and start building a Solana validator together with the AI agent.

€5 Authorization for 100,000 Free Tokens
To celebrate the launch, completing a €5 Authorization grants 100,000 tokens free of charge. After Authorization, the Free plan is activated and 100,000 tokens are issued.
This is enough volume to actually experience operating Solana validators and RPC nodes through dialogue with the AI agent. For continuous operations, please consider upgrading to the Developer plan or higher.

SLV Remains Open Source
SLV itself continues to be provided as open source. The source code is available on GitHub, free to use, modify, and redistribute.
SLV AI Tokens are a managed service for using the AI agent operations integrated natively into SLV. Customers can connect their own AI provider to use SLV's open-source features, or use SLV AI Tokens to start with a native AI agent operations environment immediately. Both options are available.
The knowledge gained from ERPC operations and research is published as open source through SLV's skills and tools. As a contribution to the entire Solana ecosystem, development of SLV will continue.

Combined with the ERPC Platform
By deploying environments built with SLV onto the ERPC platform, fast snapshot downloads within the platform, zero-distance communication with Solana validators, and Solana-specialized tuned configurations are all available from the start. Solana RPC, Solana Geyser gRPC, Solana Shredstream (Epic Shreds), bare metal servers, high-performance VPS, and ERPC Global Storage are integrated into the same platform.
The DoubleZero dedicated fiber network is also integrated across all regions, achieving approximately 200ms P99 latency reduction in Asian regions (Tokyo, Singapore). Environments built by the SLV AI agent receive the benefit of these infrastructure optimizations without any additional configuration.

R&D Output from Five Consecutive Years of WBSO Approval
ELSOUL LABO has received approval under the Dutch government's WBSO research and development support program for five consecutive years since 2022. Continuous research and development on Solana RPC infrastructure, validator operation orchestration, and AI agent-based Solana operations environments is implemented directly in SLV's tooling and AI agent. The Solana-specialized data center backed by the company's own ASN (AS200261) granted by RIPE NCC is also scheduled to open this month, supporting further acceleration as the foundation for environments built by the SLV AI agent.
AI Agents in Daily Operations
When a new version of a Solana client is released, launching the AI Console and saying "upgrade the testnet validator to the latest Agave" is enough — the AI agent checks the current version, presents the upgrade procedure, and proceeds with execution. During incident recovery, node status checks, log interpretation, and restart procedures can all be completed within the conversation. When configuring a new Solana Geyser gRPC stream, the necessary filter settings and connection details can be assembled while asking the AI agent.
Work that was previously done while consulting runbooks now flows through conversation with the AI agent. With the €5 Authorization, 100,000 tokens are issued — please experience this new operational style.
Thank you as always. We look forward to your continued use of SLV and ERPC.
