And why Nirvana rebuilt the full cloud stack Latency is often discussed across different parts of infrastructure, making it unclear where delays actually occur. In reality, it rarely comes from a single component but accumulates across the entire stack—from the moment a request leaves your application to when the
Compare your cloud spending on AWS vs Nirvana We’re excited to introduce the Nirvana Price Calculator. Cloud pricing today can be confusing. Between instance families, storage tiers, IOPS limits, networking charges, and different product configurations, it’s often difficult to understand what you are actually paying for. So we
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. 🇭🇰 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
Announcement
2025 was a real turning point for Nirvana. We moved beyond fast RPCs and into building a real cloud platform for Web3 — one that brings compute, storage, networking, and orchestration together in a way that actually works for production systems. Here’s everything we built, scaled, and shipped this year.
📘 Download the full case study Compared to when blockchain was born, today’s chains produce more data, faster blocks, and heavier traces. Generic clouds were never built for that kind of workload. Goldsky solves this with Nirvana Cloud. Indexing is the process of taking raw blockchain data such as blocks,
Announcement
Nirvana Labs, the performance cloud for Web3, is proud to support the Stable mainnet launch with fast, bare-metal RPC infrastructure powering Aori’s high-frequency intent engine for Fast Swaps. Bare-Metal RPC for a High-Throughput L1 Stable is a high-throughput L1 purpose-built for USDT, designed for sub-second finality, gas-free transfers, and
How Aori Uses Nirvana Cloud to Power Fast Swaps Across Chains 📘 Download the full case study Crosschain swaps have always been limited by latency: finality delays, network hops, and mismatched infrastructure slow the entire process down. Fast Swaps by Stargate Finance, powered by AORI, changes that narrative. Today, Fast Swaps
Building the Performance Cloud for Web3 November was a fast, infrastructure-driven month! We refreshed our introduction, strengthened our control plane, launched with high-throughput networks - Monad, published a research write up on subgraph failures and met dozens of teams across Devconnect. Here’s what moved: A Proper Refresher This month
Announcement
Nirvana Labs is proud to announce that we are the leading infrastructure partner for the Monad mainnet launch. Nirvana works closely with eRPC, the open-source fault-tolerant EVM RPC proxy used by companies like Rainbow, Euler Finance, and Morpho, to deliver the dedicated archive node behind the network. Powering Monad’s
Recently, Web3 teams are increasingly reporting the same pattern: Subgraphs are breaking. As blockchains speed up and block density increases, their subgraphs fall out of sync with the network. At first it’s just a little behind, then several blocks, then it might turn permanent. Suddenly the data your app

Today’s release focuses on the core control plane of Nirvana, the layer developers interact with every day through the API, Terraform provider, and Dashboard UI. These updates improve how you navigate, query, and automate your infrastructure across compute, networking, and (soon) storage. We’re introducing three enhancements that make
