ERPC Brings Full Yellowstone Compatibility to Burst, the Fastest Line of Its Shared Solana Geyser gRPC — About 400–500ms Faster Arrival Than the Frankfurt Standard / Premium Endpoints, Confirmed
ELSOUL LABO B.V. (Headquarters: Amsterdam, Netherlands; CEO: Fumitake Kawasaki) and Validators DAO, which operate ERPC, are pleased to announce that ERPC has brought full Yellowstone compatibility to Burst, the fastest line of its shared Solana Geyser gRPC, offered in the Frankfurt region.
As the top line of the shared Geyser gRPC stream, Burst has measured first-arrival performance that significantly exceeds the existing Frankfurt gRPC. Until now, however, its Yellowstone compatibility was not complete, and despite strong demand, its use remained limited to a subset of customers. With full Yellowstone compatibility now in place, more customers can use Burst without changing the tools or clients they already have.
For customers who, until now, needed full Yellowstone compatibility and therefore had no choice but to use Standard or Premium, there is now a reason to try Burst again. Burst shows about 400–500ms faster arrival than the Frankfurt Standard / Premium endpoints. Customers who prioritize first-arrival performance can try Burst right away — via hourly billing (per hour) or Crypto Pay (SOL / USDC / EURC).

What Full Yellowstone Compatibility Delivers — Choose Burst With Your Existing Tools Unchanged
Many customers who use Solana real-time streams do not implement their own client; they connect to the Geyser gRPC through tools, libraries, and bots that are already widely used. For them, which methods are called internally, and how, is beside the point. What matters is that the tools they already have work as-is — in other words, whether the endpoint they connect to supports Yellowstone.
Yellowstone is the de facto standard interface for Solana's Geyser gRPC. Because many tools and clients are built on this standard, full Yellowstone compatibility means that customers can use it simply by switching the connection endpoint, with their current setup unchanged. With Burst now fully Yellowstone-compatible, it can serve directly as the connection target for the wide range of tools built on that standard. Here, "full Yellowstone compatibility" means that the major clients and SDKs built on Yellowstone work as-is with only a change of connection endpoint.
For Those Who Had No Choice but Standard / Premium
Until now, customers who needed full Yellowstone compatibility had to use Standard or Premium among the shared Geyser gRPC lines. This was because Burst, while the fastest line in first-arrival performance, did not have complete Yellowstone compatibility, which made it hard to choose for customers who prioritize full compatibility.
Full Yellowstone compatibility changes that. Customers who stayed on Standard / Premium for full Yellowstone compatibility can now move to the faster Burst while keeping the same standard compatibility. Full compatibility and arrival speed once forced a choice between them; that trade-off is now resolved, and customers can have both at once.
The ~400–500ms Arrival Difference — Compared With the Frankfurt Standard / Premium
The arrival difference that Burst shows — about 400–500ms — is measured against the Standard / Premium endpoints under the same Frankfurt conditions (the same setup measured at Burst's release as the "existing Frankfurt gRPC"). It does not mean this difference always holds across all regions and all plans; it also varies with the connection origin and the time of day. This difference is confirmed through SLV's gRPC comparison measurement. 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.This is not a difference that merely nudges the average upward. In the measurement published at Burst's release, Burst recorded a 99.80% First-Arrival Win Rate against the existing Frankfurt gRPC across the global measurement, with the existing side lagging by hundreds of milliseconds in the tail region. The tail region — the upper-percentile cases where delays grow larger than usual — is exactly where delays surface as a lag in decision-making and execution for workloads that prioritize first-arrival performance.
The measurement method is open source. Customers can use the same
slv check geyserbench --kind grpc to check the actual arrival difference as seen from their own connection point. Because delivery lag varies with the connection origin, route, time of day, and leader distribution, what is reproducible is not a fixed number but the measurement method itself. ERPC is committed to demonstrating delivery quality not through subjective claims or marketing copy, but through measurement that anyone can verify with the same method.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, connection to the nearest edge server, Powered by Raw Shreds, and Burst Mode. 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 full Yellowstone compatibility, Burst is now a line that is both the fastest and standard-compatible.
Why "Fastest Source × Standard Interface"
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. This is the reason Burst has shown first-arrival performance that exceeds the existing shared gRPC.
Full Yellowstone compatibility re-lays the entire standard interface on top of that fastest source — delivering compatibility in which the tools built on the standard work as-is, while keeping the fastest arrival performance. Satisfying both speed and full compatibility at once is what this "fastest source × standard interface" design makes possible.
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.
Being able to make decisions based on numbers you measured yourself, rather than a vendor's claims, is the starting point for customers who prioritize first-arrival performance. 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.

R&D and Continuous Improvement of Solana-Specific Infrastructure
Behind ERPC 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.
Today's full Yellowstone compatibility for Burst is not a one-off adjustment either, but a result that follows directly from this continuous research and development. ERPC will continue to improve the speed and arrival stability of Solana real-time streams, as well as the completeness of compatibility.
Usage and Consultation
For help with using the Burst plan, connecting from Yellowstone-compatible tools, 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.
