February was Infra IRL. We stepped out from dashboards and into rooftops, warehouses, and builder nights, bringing performance-first cloud into real conversations with real operators. Here’s what moved. đź‡đź‡° Consensus Hong Kong — RWA Night We co-hosted the RWAfi: RAW Skyline Mixer with Pharos and partners during Consensus week. It’s
Bare Metal vs Nirvana Labs Performance and Tradeoff Comparison
January was a heads-down, shipping month. We launched Accelerated Block Storage (ABS), opened up our Silicon Valley data center, shipped product upgrade, Here’s what moved: ABS is Live ABS is our crypto-tuned block storage built for always-hot blockchain data. * 20K baseline IOPS (sustained) * up to 600K burst * sub-ms latency
Save up to 90%+ on io2 with ABS If you’ve built on traditional cloud block storage long enough, this will feel familiar: Pricing looks reasonable at first glance. Then you realise storage isn’t just storage - it’s IOPS, latency, and throughput, all priced separately. That’s when
Storage, compute, and nodes together Nirvana’s Silicon Valley data center (us-sva-2) is the first facility where we operate storage, dedicated compute, and nodes together in the same Tier III data center. This deployment brings Nirvana-owned storage racks, dedicated compute infrastructure, and bare-metal nodes into one physical environment. By keeping
The Backbone of the Always-Hot Cloud In the world of cloud infra, there is a "holy trinity" that defines every system: * Compute: Where instructions execute (the brain). * Storage: Where the data lives (the memory). * Network: How data moves between them. In the early days of computing, these three
Why always-on blockchain workloads break traditional storage — and how ABS was built to stay fast under continuous load. When we started designing Accelerated Block Storage (ABS), we didn’t begin with hardware specs or benchmark targets. We started with what users were experiencing in production. Teams running nodes, indexers, and
Faster onboarding, tighter security, and expanded developer access. This release introduces updates across the Nirvana control plane that streamline onboarding, strengthen security, and expand developer access. What’s New 1. New Welcome Page After logging in, you will now be taken to a dedicated Welcome page designed to orient quickly
Sustained IOPS for Always-Hot Blockchain Data Nirvana Accelerated Block Storage (ABS) is officially live. ABS is a high-performance, crypto-tuned block storage layer built for always-hot blockchain data, delivering sustained IOPS, high throughput, high availability, and predictable costs for I/O-intensive Web3 workloads. As a core pillar of the Nirvana Cloud,
A seasoned investor and operator supporting Nirvana’s go-to-market strategy and long-term vision. Today, we are excited to welcome Sonny Singh to the Nirvana Labs board. Sonny brings a rare and relevant combination of experience across web3, fintech, and data centers. He is the Co-Founder and CEO of Beluga, a
A 2026 update on cloud infrastructure for modern workloads The cloud is often described as “someone else’s computer.” At its core, the cloud is a system for renting compute, storage, and networking instead of owning physical hardware. You don’t buy servers or disks. You consume abstracted resources on
Closing the Year with Real-World Performance December was about proof. After a year of building, testing, and refining what performance really means for Web3 infrastructure, December marked the moment it all came together, with production launches, real traffic, and real results. From powering a new L1 to supporting sub-second cross-chain
