Monad's Complete Historical Archive with the Most Resilient Node Architecture
Nirvana's deeply tuned, replay-backed node architecture is the only infrastructure flexible enough to meet every Monad requirement - disk, database, execution, and RPC. eRPC leverages this stack to deliver the most resilient, full-history RPC foundation in the ecosystem.
"Nirvana's replay-backed Monad archive gives eRPC access to the only complete historical eth_* and trace_ dataset on the network. This capability was made possible through ongoing collaboration between our teams to address the technical requirements behind Monad's node architecture."
Partnership Case Study
SUMMARYNirvana Labs has pioneered the most sophisticated node architecture for Monad, enabling eRPC to serve as the ecosystem's premier resilient RPC provider. While others struggled with data density and snapshot limits, Nirvana engineered a custom hardware and execution environment that bypasses standard limitations.
The Monad network presents unique challenges for infrastructure providers, specifically regarding its 32M block limit and the massive disk requirements for full historical archival. Standard off-the-shelf node configurations are insufficient for the high-throughput, parallel execution environment Monad creates.
eRPC required a partner capable of not just running nodes, but re-engineering the very way Monad data is stored, indexed, and served to meet the demands of a growing DeFi and NFT ecosystem.
Nirvana was the only provider able to deliver every element Monad required: raw block-device access, hardware matched to exact specifications, monad-mpt database creation, full-chain replay, tailored service segmentation, and high-performance storage built for end-to-end execution.
Hardware Elasticity
Nirvana's bare-metal cloud allows for the specific NVMe configurations required for Monad's MonadDB, ensuring I/O bottlenecks never impact RPC performance.
Protocol-Native Tuning
By working directly with the Monad client architecture, Nirvana engineers tuned the execution environment to handle parallel state updates more efficiently than generic cloud providers.
Historical Mastery
While most providers rely on pruned snapshots, Nirvana built a ground-up archive using replay workers to guarantee 100% historical accuracy from block 0.
Use Cases
Full Deployment Layout
A high-availability cluster spanning three geographic zones, featuring redundant archive nodes and a load-balanced worker pool that feeds eRPC's global routing layer.
Hardware & Storage Engineering
Custom NVMe RAID arrays optimized for MonadDB's unique I/O patterns.
High-RAM instances to manage parallel execution state without disk swapping.
Isolated networking backplane for internal node-to-node synchronization.
Replay-Built Archive from Genesis
Nirvana re-executed every block from genesis through full replay, producing the only ledger-backed, 100% accurate historical archive on Monad — continuously verified by dual replay workers.
Multi-Service RPC for the 32M Block Limit
Intelligent routing that segments requests based on block height, ensuring deep historical queries don't impact recent block performance.
Production-Ready Snapshots
Continuous generation of verified node snapshots, reducing new node bootstrap time from days to minutes.
