Nirvana Labs January 2026 Roundup
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
- performance included in pricing
- scales from 32 GB → 4 PB
No credits. No throttling. No “upgrade to unlock speed.”
If you need storage that stays fast under real load, ABS is built for you.
Check out the details.

How We Designed ABS for Sustained IOPS
A behind-the-scenes look at the design decisions - decoupling storage from compute, leaning into parallelism, and ditching credit systems, so performance holds for hours and days, not just benchmarks.

Block Storage Price Comparison: Traditional Cloud vs ABS
We lined up public gp3/io2 pricing against ABS and found that once you actually need sustained IOPS, traditional cloud stacks on add-ons fast, while ABS often lands 80–90%+ cheaper simply by including performance by default.

Inside SVA2: Storage, Compute, and Nodes - Together
We also shared a closer look inside our Silicon Valley (us-sva-2) facility.
This is the first place where we run:
- storage
- dedicated compute
- bare-metal nodes
- private networking (coming soon)
all in the same building.
Shorter paths → fewer hops → lower variance → more predictable latency.

Product & Control Plane Updates
We kept polishing the day-to-day experience too:
- faster onboarding
- tighter security (IP filtering)
- CLI + tooling improvements
- smoother multi-chain ops
Nothing flashy - just better experience for teams running real production infra. Details here.
Case Study Highlight - Optimism Foundation
We’re powering unified, low-latency RPC across the 19 Superchains for Optimism.
It’s a great example of what dedicated + colocated infra looks like in practice — consistent performance across multiple OP Stack networks without the usual noisy-neighbor surprises.

Company
Sonny Singh Joined the Board
We welcomed Sonny to help guide Nirvana’s next phase of growth. He brings a mix of crypto, fintech, and infrastructure experience that lines up well with where we’re headed. See more here.
Education
We also kept investing in fundamentals:
What’s Coming Next
February’s already looking busy:
- Consensus Hong Kong - we are cohosting a RWA night with Pharos. RSVP now.
- ETHDenver - more details coming soon.
- more ABS updates
- more case studies
Same focus as always:
make performance the default, not the premium tier.
Because blockchains is demanding and the cloud should keep up.
