Nirvana Labs October 2025 Roundup

October was an exciting month at Nirvana Labs. We shipped a new connectivity product that strengthens our stack, moved one step closer to completing our full cloud offering of compute, storage, and networking, achieved a major compliance milestone, and welcomed new team members who will help us build the performance cloud for Web3.

Here’s what moved:

🌐 Nirvana Connect Shipped

We launched Nirvana Connect - private fiber connectivity between Nirvana Cloud and major cloud providers like AWS and GCP.

This gives builders the ability to run distributed workloads with:

• Private backbone connection (no public internet pathing)
• Lower latency for performance-critical systems
• No egress costs between environments

We also released an educational breakdown on how private fiber networking solves latency, reliability, and cost issues for real-time Web3 infrastructure.

✅ SOC 2 Type II Certification

We successfully completed our SOC 2 Type II audit with zero exceptions, reinforcing our commitment to secure, reliable, and enterprise-grade infrastructure for performance-critical blockchain workloads. This milestone reflects our security-first approach as we scale.

👥 Team Expansion

In October, we continued strengthening our leadership team to support the next phase of product and infrastructure growth.

We welcomed proven operators from top-tier exchanges, HFT environments, node infrastructure teams, and enterprise SaaS to build and scale the performance cloud for Web3.

Key leadership additions include:

• April Wong, Chief Marketing Officer
  Previously at Crypto.com and SushiSwap, bringing experience across 40+ chain integrations, product marketing, and ecosystem growth.
• Karun Kallakuri, Head of Infrastructure
  Background in HFT and AI compute environments, with experience architecting and operating high-performance clusters for firms including Optiver and Citadel.
• Rick Davis, Head of Nodes
  Deep background in distributed systems and DevOps with prior roles at Verizon, Figment, and Dell, focused on scaling reliable node and edge infrastructure.
• Timothy Ebeling-Born, Director of Customer Success
  Over a decade in enterprise customer success, including Microsoft, focused on turning advanced infrastructure into successful customer outcomes.

This group blends infrastructure depth, Web3 execution experience, and customer-focused scaling.

🌩️ Resilience Lessons Reinforced

The AWS outage this month was a reminder of something simple but critical: resilience = redundancy.

We shared an explainer on how private connectivity and backup paths help prevent ripple effects when clouds stumble.

What's for November?

We are shipping another key part of our stack to complete the compute, storage, and networking foundation. We are also supporting several major network infrastructure rollouts. Last but not least, we are working on a refreshed look for Nirvana. Stay tuned.
