Overview
ELSOUL LABO B.V. is a blockchain infrastructure company operating the fastest Solana RPC provider on the market. Co-founded by Shota Kishi, the company powers high-performance Solana validators and RPC nodes worldwide.
With a lean team and growing global demand, they turned to Hivelocity to overcome critical infrastructure limitations.
The Challenge
