ERPC Recognized as a Top 5 Provider in Backpack’s “Best Solana RPC Providers 2025”
ELSOUL LABO B.V. (Headquarters: Amsterdam, the Netherlands; CEO: Fumitake Kawasaki) and Validators DAO are pleased to announce that ERPC has been selected as one of the Top 5 providers in Backpack’s feature article “Best Solana RPC Providers in 2025: A Complete Guide to Fast and Reliable Solana RPC Nodes.”
In this article, ERPC is introduced alongside Helius, QuickNode, Alchemy, and Ankr, and is highlighted as “The Fastest Global Solana RPC Provider.” In particular, ERPC’s globally distributed infrastructure and low-latency performance are emphasized, and for low-latency trading use cases the article notes that “for low-latency sniping, pick ERPC or Helius.”
What Are the Best Solana RPC Providers?
Backpack’s “Best Solana RPC Providers 2025” is a feature article that compares and introduces leading Solana RPC providers for developers building dApps, DeFi protocols, and NFT projects on Solana, as well as for users running high-frequency trading strategies.
The article explains that public Solana endpoints are often rate-limited and may not be suitable for production use, and therefore highlights the importance of using dedicated RPC providers. Each provider is evaluated based on the following criteria:
- Latency and throughput (whether it is fast enough for high-frequency trading)
- Stability and availability during periods of network congestion
- Features such as MEV protection, webhooks, NFT and token APIs, and multi-chain support
- Pricing models, from free tiers to enterprise-grade plans
- Ease of integration with tools and wallets such as Backpack Wallet
Based on these factors, five providers are selected as top choices: Helius, QuickNode, Alchemy, Ankr, and ERPC.

What Is Backpack?
Backpack is a wallet and exchange platform that supports Solana as well as multiple other chains. It is a self-custodial wallet that allows users to securely manage their assets, while also providing integrated access to exchange functionality directly within the app.
Backpack Wallet supports custom RPC configuration, enabling users to choose RPC providers according to their specific needs and optimize for speed and reliability. Backpack’s official Learn section publishes many educational articles on Solana infrastructure, and the Best Solana RPC Providers feature is part of this ongoing content series.

Why Is ERPC Popular?
In Backpack’s article, ERPC is introduced as “Emerging in 2025, ERPC claims the title of fastest Solana RPC with global coverage,” with a particular focus on its low-latency performance for trading and other high-frequency workloads.
ERPC’s strength lies not only in its high-quality RPC endpoints, but also in the fact that it offers VPS infrastructure on the same network as those endpoints. This allows many of our users to avoid the slower public internet routes and connect to Solana in a near “zero-distance” configuration.

Unified Access with the Bundle Plan
ERPC offers Bundle plans that provide integrated access to Solana RPC, Geyser gRPC, and Shredstream.
- Solana RPC (HTTP / WebSocket)
- Geyser gRPC (no filter restrictions, Devnet / Testnet supported)
- Shredstream (shared and dedicated options)
All of these endpoints are connected over the same network, allowing high-frequency trading bots and stream-processing applications to subscribe to multiple streams in parallel and build workflows that automatically select the fastest route.
Backpack’s article also notes that when choosing a Solana RPC provider, support for WebSockets and advanced APIs is an important factor. ERPC is positioned as one of the providers well suited for trading-focused use cases.
Zero-Distance Architecture with Same-Network VPS
ERPC provides Solana-optimized VPS instances that run on the same network as the endpoints offered in the Bundle plans. This brings several key benefits:
- Trading bots and arbitrage logic can run on the same network as RPC, gRPC, and Shredstream
- No need to traverse the public internet, minimizing round-trip latency
- Stable performance that is less affected by network congestion or route fluctuations
Our VPS lineup ranges from cost-efficient EPYC VPS models to higher-clock configurations for more demanding workloads, allowing users to choose the most suitable option based on their use case.
Premium Ryzen VPS with World-Class Clock Speeds
For projects that require even higher performance, ERPC offers the Premium Ryzen VPS series, powered by Ryzen CPUs operating at world-class 5.7 GHz clock speeds.
Premium Ryzen VPS provides the following features:
- 5.7 GHz Ryzen CPUs with outstanding single-thread performance
- ECC DDR5 memory and NVMe4 storage
- Dual 25 Gbps networking
- A strictly non-overcommitted, dedicated design for CPU, memory, and storage
- Zero-distance deployment on the same network as Jito Block Engine and Geyser gRPC nodes
This combination delivers bare-metal level performance, along with the flexibility to scale more easily than traditional dedicated servers. In Backpack’s article, ERPC is recommended, alongside Helius, for low-latency sniping and high-frequency trading, and we believe that Premium VPS-based architectures are a key reason behind this evaluation.

Challenges Addressed by ERPC and Validators DAO
- Transaction failures and latency fluctuations common in many RPC environments
- Performance limits and overcommitment practices seen at many infrastructure providers
- The significant impact that physical network distance has on communication quality
- Limited access to high-quality infrastructure, especially for smaller projects
During the development of Epics DAO, an open-source Solana NFT card game project, we faced the challenge that high-quality, low-latency Solana infrastructure was not easily accessible. In response, we built our own platform and now provide ERPC and SLV based on the know-how gained from that process.
Financial applications are particularly mission-critical, where latency and errors directly degrade user experience. In Solana development, with its distributed validators and Web3-specific structures layered together, it is often difficult to grasp the full picture, and many projects struggle with latency and instability.
Looking ahead, Solana is expected to adopt next-generation technologies such as Alpenglow, which will further accelerate block finality and refresh the networking layer. ERPC and Validators DAO will continue to adapt to these changes and contribute to improving both the developer and end-user experience across the Solana ecosystem. ERPC and SLV are positioned as core components of this ongoing effort.
