Why Solana trading systems run in Frankfurt
A transaction reaches the current leader over the network, and so does every shred you read. The shorter that path, the less of your time budget it spends in transit, before your code has done anything. That is why trading teams put the machine where the stake and the feeds are: location shapes landing.
Frankfurt is one of those places. It is where AllenHark runs its own read feeds, and where every server on this page is racked.
- Bots and searchers
- Read the chain early with ShredStream in the same city.
- Landing stacks
- Send through Slipstream or Jito bundles.
- Validators and RPC nodes
- Run your own, or let us run a managed validator.
Questions
Why Frankfurt for Solana infrastructure?
Frankfurt is one of Europe's main hubs for Solana validators, and AllenHark's own ShredStream, Yellowstone gRPC and RPC endpoints run there. A server in the same city reaches them, and the validators around them, over a short local network path instead of across an ocean. We publish no latency figures: measure from the box.
What is the difference between bare metal and VPS here?
Bare metal is a whole physical machine: one tenant, root access, every core yours. A VPS is a virtual machine on our own AMD Ryzen 9950X or 9900X host, with a vCPU allowance, reinstall and in-place upgrades from the console, and a lower price. Both are prepaid monthly, with no contract.
Can I run a Solana validator or RPC node on these servers?
On the larger bare-metal builds, yes: check the memory and NVMe of a build against the current validator requirements before you order. If you'd rather not operate the node yourself, our managed validator service runs it for you.
Does co-locating improve transaction landing?
It shortens the network path from your code to Frankfurt-area leaders and to our read feeds. Whether a transaction lands still depends on the leader schedule, your fees and how you submit it. Pair the server with ShredStream to see the chain early and with AllenHark Relay or Slipstream to send.
How is a server delivered?
A VPS is cloned from a template while checkout waits, for up to two minutes. Bare metal is deployed from the provider's stock automatically after payment, and its username and password arrive by email and stay in your console. When a build is out of stock, don't pay for it: ask on Discord or email support@allenhark.com, and an operator places a backorder. Payment is in USDC, USDT or SOL; there is no card payment.
