# About ### Who We Are Solana Vibe Station (SVS) is a Solana infrastructure company headquartered in metro-Atlanta, with production regions in Atlanta and Amsterdam. We build and operate the systems that high-performance Solana applications depend on: RPC endpoints, validator services, gRPC streaming, transaction acceleration, archival data, and a growing suite of higher-level data APIs. Our team brings together deep experience in distributed systems, low-level network and kernel engineering, validator operations, and Solana protocol internals. We come from backgrounds in offensive security, large-scale data infrastructure, and systems programming — and we apply that same rigor to every piece of the stack we run. ### What Makes Us Different **We own our infrastructure.** Every server, switch, and cable in our production fleet is hardware we specified, purchased, racked, and tuned ourselves. We do not resell capacity from hyperscalers. We do not run on shared cloud hosts. This is uncommon in the Solana RPC market, and it is the single biggest reason our performance and pricing look the way they do. **Our VPS customers sit in the same cabinet as our RPC nodes.** When you provision a VPS from us, it is connected to our RPC infrastructure over direct-attach SFP+ cabling — no intermediate switches, no shared backplanes, no datacenter cross-connects. This is the shortest physical path possible between an application and a Solana RPC node, and it is not something a cloud-hosted competitor can replicate. **We tune the entire stack.** Because we own the hardware and operate the hosts, we control every layer: NIC firmware and ring buffer sizing, kernel network stack parameters, TCP congestion control, NUMA and CPU affinity, validator client tuning, and load balancer behavior. When something can be made faster, we make it faster. When something is broken upstream, we fix it and contribute the patch back — our work has shipped in upstream FreeBSD and been reported into the Firedancer and Linux kernel projects. **We optimize for root cause, not workaround.** Whether it's a P99 latency outlier, a validator crash, or a misbehaving client library, we dig until we understand why. That standard is what our customers are paying for. ### What We Offer SVS provides a full range of Solana infrastructure services for builders, traders, validators, and enterprises: * **Solana RPC** — High-performance HTTP and WebSocket RPC endpoints across multiple regions, with tiered plans from public RPC up through dedicated nodes. * **Staked RPC** — Routing through staked validator connections for higher transaction landing rates. * **Lightspeed** — Our optimized `sendTransaction` propagation service, with tiered tip routing across staked validators and direct leader connections to maximize landing probability and minimize confirmation latency. * **Geyser gRPC Streaming** — Yellowstone-based real-time streaming of accounts, transactions, slots, blocks, and entries. * **Raw Shred Forwarding** — Pre-block shred-level data for the lowest-latency consumers. * **Historical / Archival Data** — Full-history access for analytics, indexing, and backfills. * **SVS API** — Higher-level data products including token pricing, metadata, ranking, DeFi pool pricing, and streaming price subscriptions, with an MCP server for AI agent integrations. * **Partner Marketplace** — Curated third-party data products (such as Sailfish for launchpad and AMM data) accessible under your existing SVS credentials. * **VPS Hosting** — Bare-metal-backed VPS instances co-located with our RPC nodes for the lowest possible application-to-chain latency. * **Validator Services** — Including operation of the svSOL liquid staking pool. * **Enterprise Solutions** — Dedicated infrastructure, validator hosting, and node consulting for teams with custom requirements. ### Our Mission Solana is, in our view, the most credible technical bet for high-throughput on-chain applications. Realizing that potential requires infrastructure that lives up to the protocol — not gatekept performance behind enterprise paywalls, and not bargain-tier services that cut corners where it matters. Our goal is to make best-in-class Solana infrastructure broadly accessible: priced fairly, geographically distributed, technically honest, and built by people who care about the ecosystem's long-term success. We support solo builders shipping their first dApp with the same rigor we bring to our largest enterprise customers, and we contribute back to the open-source projects we depend on. If you're building on Solana and want infrastructure that actually performs the way the marketing says it will, you're in the right place. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
