Solana Vibe Station (SVS) was founded by two college friends that reside in the metro-Atlanta area. Tech enthusiasts at heart, we possess a constant drive to educate ourselves. Between the two of us, we have a B.S. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, and IT Management Systems. Additionally, we have a combined 7 years of professional experience in the the Offensive Security and I.T. Systems Engineering sector.
In addition to our formal education and experience, we many years of combined experience in cryptocurrency across many different blockchains, we really did not start interacting with Solana until January of 2024. Intrigued by the meme coin craze, the SVS founders got a first hand view of what Solana has to offer.
Impressed by the ultra-fast transaction confirmation times and miniscule fees we were amazed that it took us this long to discover what Solana has to offer, but also to see where it can go. The first quarter of 2024 was used experimenting with different RPC node providers and testing out different Solana bot programs all while trading meme coins 😄. We were quite unhappy with the results we were receiving, sometimes making money and other times losing money and also falling for a couple of scams in the process (yeah I know). We were adamant that we could do better ourselves, so therefore set out in creating our own custom developed trading bot and building our own private RPC node.
After spending lots of money and much more time, we started seeing a lot better results. We were able to snipe new tokens much more consistently fast and see more success. However, what we were really surprised about was how fast we could snipe new Solana tokens. We were consistently getting top 3 buys on new tokens on a unoptimized setup with unstable internet and on hardware that everyone said is not possible (A lot of people accused us of lying about our RPC specifications).
Looking at other performance oriented Solana RPC node providers pricing and the overall misinformation regarding how Solana works made us realize there is a really big opportunity to not only educate users but provide a high quality service to users for a fraction of the current market cost.
Therefore, we decided to start Solana Vibe Station, a Solana RPC node provider service that aims to give users some of the fastest most performant RPC node service to users no matter their geographical location in the world at a reasonable and affordable cost. We think this is important for the future of Solana as it has so much to offer and we want to see it succeed as the most actively used blockchain due to its technology. We think that there is too many larger node providers gatekeeping performance behind large paywalls, while cheaper Solana RPC node services lack good performance.
We offer high speed, low latency Solana RPC node access to anyone in the world, all from Atlanta, GA. You may be wondering, "How can I have low latency node access from my house if I live in Australia?" Well, we do this by offering VPS solutions for users that want the fastest connection possible. We do not resell or rent any hardware or services from cloud providers. All of our infrastructure is on-premises, self-hosted, designed by ourselves, and hand-built to our very specific purposes. This means when you rent a VPS from us, you can be rest assured knowing that you literally cannot get a faster connection from any other service provider. All of our VPSs are connected to our RPC nodes over the shortest path possible, direct attach cables (SFP+ cables for the tech enthusiasts). This means it does not need to traverse through any extra equipment — a common issue even when located in the same datacenter as the RPC nodes. Our private VPS's are located in the same server cabinet as our RPC nodes.
Our Team prioritizes speed, simplicity, and security in our approach. We are able to do this since we custom build and own all of our hardware and collocate them in a local datacenter within Atlanta, GA. Additionally, because of this approach we can configure literally every aspect of our service to better fit our customers needs. This is something that most node providers simply cannot do as they rent cloud computing resources from 3rd parties that cannot get the level of performance that our team provides. This gives us the ability to customize any piece of hardware in our infrastructure whenever we want.
Sure this approach is a lot more expensive up front, however due to this approach we have much lower monthly operating costs since we are not renting hardware from cloud providers. This allows us to offer cheaper and more performant services better tuned for our customers needs.
Our end goal is to provide fast and affordable Solana RPC services to our users no matter where you are located in the world via our private VPS services. In addition, to supporting Solana token traders starting out, we also want to support Solana developers who want to build their applications on the Solana network and need a RPC service to power their application. This includes front-end Solana decentralized applications that need a reliable RPC provider service.
Lastly we want to help educate Solana users so they can make more informed decisions on whatever it is they want to do on the Solana blockchain.
