ERPC x BDLC NFT Bonus Plan: Major Upgrade — Bundle Plan Worth €698/Month Now Free for BDLC Hodlers, Expanding to Full-Stack Solana Access Including Geyser gRPC and Direct Shreds
ELSOUL LABO B.V. (Headquartered in Amsterdam, the Netherlands; CEO: Fumitake Kawasaki) and Validators DAO are pleased to announce a major upgrade to the ERPC bonus plan for Buidlers Collective (BDLC) NFT hodlers.
Previously, BDLC NFT hodlers received the ERPC Developer Plan (€42/month, Solana RPC HTTP/WebSocket) for free. With this upgrade, BDLC hodlers now receive the Bundle Standard Plan (regular price: €698/month) at no cost for as long as they hodl their BDLC NFT. The monthly token allowance resets at the start of each month. This expanded plan includes Solana RPC, Geyser gRPC streaming, and Direct Shreds (Shredstream).
Upgrade Overview
Previous BDLC Bonus Plan
- ERPC Developer Plan (worth €42/month)
- Solana RPC (HTTP / WebSocket)
- 42 million tokens/month, 50 requests/second
New BDLC Bonus Plan
- Bundle Standard Plan (regular price: €698/month)
- Solana RPC (HTTP / WebSocket) — 42 million tokens/month, 50 requests/second
- Geyser gRPC Standard — Up to 10 stream connections
- Direct Shreds Connect — Up to 10 stream connections
- Automatic connection to the nearest edge server across all endpoints
- Powered by Raw Shreds
One BDLC NFT is enough to activate the Bundle Standard benefit at no cost. The benefit stays active while you hodl. Hodling multiple BDLC NFTs increases your monthly token allowance and the number of available Geyser gRPC and Direct Shreds stream connections in proportion to the number of NFTs you hodl. The monthly token allowance resets at the start of each month.
Why Expand to the Bundle Now
Solana is a high-speed blockchain, but to fully leverage that speed, there are capabilities that HTTP/WebSocket RPC access alone cannot reach. Geyser gRPC streams blockchain state changes in real time, while Direct Shreds provides access to raw shred data from the network propagation layer — a stage even earlier than Geyser gRPC.
ERPC recently completed the migration to http (eliminating TLS overhead) for all Geyser gRPC and Direct Shreds endpoints across every region, achieving over 120ms improvement in P99 latency. Combined with hardware upgrades to AMD EPYC 5th Generation processors, a comprehensive update to our Rust-based high-performance proxy infrastructure, and the transition to a zero-downtime operational structure, ERPC now delivers top-tier speed and stability for stream delivery.
With this level of infrastructure quality now in place, we want BDLC hodlers to take full advantage of gRPC and Shreds. Fetch data via RPC, monitor real-time state changes via gRPC, and detect the earliest signals via Shreds — this combination unlocks ultra-fast Web3 buidling for applications and dApps.
ERPC's Quality Foundation
ERPC places its endpoints within data centers where Solana stake concentration is highest, enabling zero-distance communication with major validators. Across all plans, ERPC maintains always-on full-turbo operation with the latest AMD EPYC processors, low-latency processing through a custom Rust-based high-performance proxy, and thorough elimination of communication overhead.
ERPC exclusively uses premium data centers that can guarantee performance. Despite the ongoing rise in hardware costs, we maintain configurations without compromising on quality. Prices are expected to trend upward as hardware costs continue to increase.
ERPC's distributed systems infrastructure has been certified as an R&D project under the Dutch government's WBSO (R&D tax credit) program for five consecutive years. Challenges observed in production operations are incorporated as research subjects, with improvements delivered through continuous verification and iteration.
How to Get Started
BDLC NFT hodlers can access the Bundle Standard Plan by completing verification through the Validators DAO official Discord. Customers who have already been verified will find the plan available immediately — please access it through the Validators DAO Discord.
BDLC NFTs are available on Magic Eden, the NFT marketplace on Solana.
About Buidlers Collective (BDLC)
Buidlers Collective (BDLC) is a community NFT that promotes sustainable open-source software buidling through token economics and gamification. BDLC hodlers receive a variety of benefits across the Epics DAO and Validators DAO ecosystem, including early access to new products, periodic snapshot-based airdrops, and the ERPC bonus plan featured in this announcement.
Hodling the NFT simultaneously supports open-source buidling and provides direct, practical value within the Solana ecosystem — BDLC is designed with this philosophy at its core.
Toward Innovative Solana Projects
Stream-based products leveraging Solana's speed are growing rapidly, and access to real-time data has become essential for Buidlers. With this bonus plan upgrade, BDLC hodlers now have full-stack Solana connectivity spanning RPC, Geyser gRPC, and Direct Shreds.
We hope this environment will give rise to many innovative Solana projects.
