ERPC Adds Burst, the Fastest Solana Geyser gRPC Line, in Tokyo / Singapore — Bringing ERPC's First Asia Burst Edges to the Two Most-Requested Regions
ERPC Adds Burst, the Fastest Solana Geyser gRPC Line, in Tokyo / Singapore — Bringing ERPC's First Asia Burst Edges to the Two Most-Requested Regions
ELSOUL LABO B.V. (Headquarters: Amsterdam, Netherlands; CEO: Fumitake Kawasaki) and Validators DAO, which operate ERPC, are pleased to announce that ERPC has added Burst — the fastest line of its shared Solana Geyser gRPC — in two regions, Tokyo (TY) and Singapore (SGP). These are ERPC's first Asia Burst edges.
As the top line of the shared Geyser gRPC stream, Burst is the fastest endpoint that, since being proven in Frankfurt, has expanded to Amsterdam and New York. Until now there was no supported edge in Asia, and many customers specifically told us they wanted to use it in Tokyo or Singapore. The Tokyo and Singapore regions added here were the two most requested among them, and this is the first time ERPC has brought its fastest line to Asia.
What we are providing is the same design and the same grade of Burst proven in Frankfurt, Amsterdam, and New York. Rather than preparing a separate dedicated line, we have made the same Burst available in Tokyo and Singapore as well. Customers whose connection point is near Asia can now use Burst from a closer edge. With your existing tools and clients unchanged, you can start right away via the 1-Day Free Trial, hourly billing (per hour), and Crypto Pay (SOL / USDC / EURC).

The Most-Requested Tokyo / Singapore — ERPC's First Asia Burst
Since Burst's release, ERPC has said: "If there is a region you would like us to prioritize, please share it through the Validators DAO official Discord. We will move forward as quickly as possible, starting with regions where actual demand is strongest." This addition of Tokyo / Singapore, following the expansion from Frankfurt to Amsterdam / New York, is a direct result of that commitment.
In Asia, development and operations on Solana have been spreading rapidly in recent years. In Japan especially, Solana support is increasing, and requests from teams across Asia to use the fastest line from a closer region had been rising sharply. Tokyo and Singapore were the two regions the most customers named. Because demand for both was clear, we opened them together as ERPC's first Asia Burst.
We will continue to expand regions based on customer feedback. Please keep sharing the regions you would like us to prioritize through the Validators DAO official Discord.
Two of Asia's Major Validator Cities — Tokyo #3 / Singapore #4
Based on validators.solutions' Count view as of this writing, Tokyo and Singapore rank #3 and #4 respectively in active validator count by city. Tokyo shows 79 and Singapore shows 58 active validators, forming a large validator concentration following Frankfurt and Amsterdam. Both are major regions where Solana validators and related infrastructure demand concentrate most in Asia.
Because Solana's leader schedule is generated stake-weighted, validator count alone does not determine arrival differences. At the same time, placing an edge near a region where active validators concentrate and infrastructure demand is clear can be a factor that improves ingest and delivery stability when the connection origin, route, and leader distribution align.
Until now, customers in Asia had no choice but to use Burst via edges in Europe and North America, such as Frankfurt. With Tokyo and Singapore now added, customers can choose a closer edge from their Asian connection point. Shortening the physical distance between the connection origin and the edge is a factor that can matter for arrival stability. Note that validator distribution varies over time. How much difference actually appears is, as described below, most reliably checked by measuring from your own connection point.
The Same Design and Grade of Burst as Frankfurt
The Burst now available in Tokyo and Singapore is the same design and the same grade of fastest shared Geyser gRPC line as the Burst we have provided in Frankfurt, Amsterdam, and New York. Features such as the Powered by Raw Shreds configuration, Burst Mode, up to 50 stream connections, 1 IP whitelist, and no filter limits are common to all supported regions.
Burst's speed is supported by its Powered by Raw Shreds configuration. Rather than relying on a standard validator Geyser plugin, it reconstructs the stream from the raw shreds right after they are generated, moving arrival forward from the ingest stage at the source. In Frankfurt, this configuration recorded a 99.80% First-Arrival Win Rate against the existing Frankfurt gRPC across the global measurement, and about 400–500ms faster arrival against the Frankfurt Standard / Premium endpoints. Tokyo and Singapore run this same design of Burst.
Note that these figures are measured under Frankfurt conditions, and do not mean the same difference always appears across all regions and all conditions. Delivery lag varies with the connection origin, route, time of day, and leader distribution. This is precisely why ERPC is committed to demonstrating delivery quality not through claims alone, but through measurement that anyone can verify with the same method.
A Closer Edge in Asia, Measured From Your Own Connection Point
Burst is designed to use the edge of the region nearest to your connection point. As more supported regions come online, there are more edges to choose from near your connection point. With Tokyo and Singapore now added to Asia, trying the fastest line from an Asian connection point is, for the first time, a real option.
How much difference actually appears is most reliably checked by measuring from your own connection point. ERPC's benchmark tool is published as open source; for first-arrival comparison you can use
slv check geyserbench --kind grpc, and for checking the connectivity and latency of an individual endpoint you can use slv check grpc. What is reproducible is not a fixed number but the measurement method itself, so you can compare directly under conditions close to your own workload.Solana Geyser gRPC Speed Comparison: https://erpc.global/en/doc/geyser-grpc/speed-comparison/
What Burst Is — the Fastest Line of the Shared Geyser gRPC
Burst is the top line of the shared Geyser gRPC stream. It provides a shared gRPC endpoint, 1 IP whitelist, no filter limits, up to 50 stream connections, use of an edge in a region close to your connection point, Powered by Raw Shreds, and Burst Mode, and — with full Yellowstone compatibility — it can be used with your existing tools and clients unchanged. It is priced at €398/month and also includes a 1-Day Free Trial.
Its place in the existing lineup is clear as well. Standard suits PoC and startup use, Premium suits growth and full production use, and Burst suits use that places even greater priority on the first-arrival advantage. With the addition of Tokyo / Singapore, the fastest Burst line can now be used closer to regions in Asia as well.
Why First-Arrival Matters
For real-time applications on Solana, low average latency alone is not enough. On-chain event detection, trading decisions, alert delivery, monitoring systems, market making, arbitrage, and various automation applications all depend on which stream arrives first, which directly affects when processing can begin.
Especially in the tail region — P95 and P99, the upper-percentile cases where delays grow larger than usual — differences in the timing of decisions and execution become more likely to appear. Burst is not a line that merely nudges the average; it is the fastest line, designed to improve first-arrival stability and to keep the gap small when delays do occur. Having an edge near your connection point is one of the factors that support this first-arrival stability.
Verify With Your Own Numbers, From a Single Hour
Burst can be tried from a single hour via the hourly billing plan. This makes a low-risk verification loop possible: contract for just one hour, measure the actual arrival difference within that hour as seen from your own bot or application's connection point, and decide on moving to a monthly or annual plan once you have confirmed those numbers.
With Tokyo and Singapore added, customers whose connection point is in Asia can now run the same verification against a closer edge. Being able to make decisions based on numbers you measured yourself, rather than a vendor's claims, is where customers who prioritize first-arrival performance begin. Once your configuration and usage become clear, switching to a monthly or annual plan keeps you on the same dashboard and the same endpoint quality.

Crypto Pay (SOL / USDC / EURC) Supported
ERPC offers Crypto Pay for purchasing ERPC credits and for paying for its plans, and it is supported for the hourly billing plan as well. You can choose SOL, or the stablecoins USDC / EURC, as the payment asset. EURC can be sent directly, while USDC or SOL is swapped to EURC via Orca, with the transfer completed within the same flow.
For teams building and operating on Solana, being able to handle infrastructure costs much like their existing wallet-based fund management is a practical improvement that lowers the barrier to starting verification. The hourly-billing verification described above can also be started directly from the assets in your Solana wallet.
Order, Pay, and Manage Solana-Specific Infrastructure on One Platform
ERPC lets you combine Solana RPC, WebSocket, Solana Geyser gRPC, Solana Shredstream, Direct UDP Stream (Raw Shreds), VPS, bare-metal servers, dedicated RPC, SWQoS, a Pyth-enabled Price API, and Jet Analytics & Indexed RPC on a single platform.
The ERPC Dashboard supports 16 languages, letting you handle plan selection, region selection, stock checks, adding to cart, credit top-ups, checkout, reviewing API keys and endpoints, checking usage, and creating support tickets — all from the same screen.
Asia's Low-Latency Infrastructure and Continuous R&D
ERPC has also been building a low-latency platform in Asia for some time. Its Solana-proximate infrastructure is provided across multiple regions including Tokyo (TY) and Singapore (SGP) in addition to Frankfurt (FRA) and Amsterdam (AMS), and this Burst addition layers ERPC's first high-speed Geyser gRPC line in Asia on top of that foundation.
Behind it is the research and development of Solana-specific infrastructure that ELSOUL LABO continues to pursue. ELSOUL LABO has been approved for five consecutive years since 2022 under WBSO, the Netherlands' government R&D support program. It continues R&D on Solana RPC infrastructure, validator operations, real-time data delivery, and AI-agent-assisted operations and development, and those results are reflected across services including ERPC, SLV, SLV AI, and the AS200261 Solana-specific data center.
This Asia expansion of Burst is not a one-off adjustment either, but a result that follows from this continuous research and development and from what our customers ask for. ERPC will continue to improve the speed and arrival stability of Solana real-time streams, and — even more globally — to expand regions in line with the demand our customers tell us about.
Usage and Consultation
For help with using the Burst plan, region selection including Tokyo / Singapore, running an hourly-billing trial from a single hour, planning a migration from an existing configuration, or questions about benchmarks, please create a support ticket on the official Validators DAO Discord.
