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 we published a full refresher thread reintroducing Nirvana Labs and summarizing our evolution from high-performance RPC nodes to a complete performance cloud for Web3, outlining how compute, networking, and storage now come together as one crypto-optimized environment built for the most demanding workloads.
Monad Mainnet Leading Infra Partner
We are proud to serve as a leading infrastructure partner powering the RPC foundation behind Monad’s mainnet launch. This work included deploying a dedicated archive node cluster on custom bare-metal, maintaining a snapshot layer for clean restores, and operating everything in a node-level colocated environment that enables eRPC to route requests with minimal latency.
Control Plane Upgrades
We shipped three improvements that make Nirvana smoother and easier to operate at scale:
- API and Dashboard Pagination Keeps performance consistent for large deployments.
- Terraform Data Sources for All Resources Enables cleaner automation and more scalable infrastructure-as-code workflows.
- Dashboard Command Menu (⌘ + K) Provides instant navigation for teams operating multi-chain infrastructure.
These upgrades move us closer to a unified, Web3-native cloud environment.
Research Drop: Why Subgraphs Break
We published an explainer “Subgraphs Are Breaking Across Web3: Why It Happens and What to Do.”
Key takeaway: subgraphs are not the bottleneck. They fail because the infrastructure underneath them cannot keep up with modern chain speeds.
Solution: Bare metal compute + node-level colocation remains the only reliable model for high-throughput indexing today.
Ecosystem Engagement
November was a high-engagement month across the ecosystem.
Devconnect Argentina
Our CPTO Akram met dozens of teams at Devconnect Argentina who were exploring dedicated RPC nodes, bare-metal colocation, VMs, and private networking. The focus throughout the week was simple: making their infrastructure faster.
Pharos AMA
We joined the Pharos AMA “Tokenize Everything? The Infrastructure RWA Needs Now,” where the discussion covered the blockers to full RWA tokenization, the liquidity and compliance layers being built, and how legal engineering links smart contracts to real-world rights. ICYMI, check out the recap here.
What’s Coming in December
We are ending the year strong.
December is a busy month with another major part of the stack shipping as we move closer to the complete compute, storage, and networking foundation. We are also supporting additional mainnet expansions, launching the refreshed Nirvana website, releasing new latency research, and publishing upcoming case studies.
We continue building the Web3-native cloud from the metal up.

The expensive way to buy IOPS
If your storage bill is mostly meter, you paid the expensive way. Clouds price capacity cheap and meter IOPS on top: 60% of the bill at 20K IOPS, 84% at 80K, 91% on io2. Which workloads hit the meter, what it costs them, and whether yours should move.
Nirvana: The High Performance Storage Cloud
Why Nirvana is the High Performance Storage Cloud: purpose-built ABS with 20,000 sustained IOPS included, benchmarks against gp3 and io2, who runs on it, and what opens in Q4.
Agent economics: the sandbox chapter
Storage-backed sandboxes save you twice: on idle, and on work you never redo. Fast disks. Persistent workspaces. Isolated sandboxes. And you pay for the work once. Run your agents on Nirvana.
