About Nirvana Labs

https://nirvanalabs.io/

Nirvana Labs is the first full-stack cloud platform designed by crypto natives and cloud experts to cater to the unique demands of web3 companies. Our offerings include a powerful bare metal cloud computing platform, highly reliable load-balanced RPC nodes, and enterprise-grade dedicated nodes.

Why it matters:

Addressing the limitations of traditional cloud providers:

• Traditional cloud providers like AWS, GCP, and Azure fall short in handling the resource-intensive nature of blockchain workloads, leaving web3 companies searching for alternatives as costs explode.
• Our web3-centric approach aims to address these limitations by combining bare metal infrastructure with a specialized operating system.

Driving innovation in web3 cloud infrastructure:

• Nirvana's nodes are the fastest in the web3 industry, with an average global latency of 28 milliseconds, compared to 175 milliseconds for Alchemy, 300 milliseconds for Quicknode, and 400 milliseconds for Infura.
• By reducing cloud bills by up to 85%, we are helping web3 companies optimize their infrastructure costs and focus on driving their core business forward.

The big picture: Nirvana's team includes blockchain operators from BitGo, cloud and data center specialists from AWS, networking specialists from AT&T, and hardware experts from Apple and Google. This diverse expertise allows them to create a cutting-edge cloud platform tailored to the unique needs of the web3 ecosystem.

Our customers include: Chainlink, BitGo, Goldsky, Thirdweb and Pairpoint.
