Cloud-like experience while deploying and managing physical servers
,@latitudesh offers you access to globally distributed, dedicated enterprise-grade hardware
Bare metal, billed hourly, with no virtualization
Create an account and get access to a server in 15 seconds
🧵
Watch @latitudesh most recent deployment of a single giant computer capable of delivering trillions of tokens a year
27% of all staked SOL was sitting on a single ASN. 94% of it went dark at the same time. Not a Solana problem. An infrastructure concentration problem.
One BGP config change in Miami took down validator infra in London, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Singapore and Tokyo. Solana got within 4.5pp of a finality halt. This is why ASN diversity matters more than datacenter diversity
The reason @latitudesh doesn't go offline in multiple regions simultaneously is that the entire network features independent internet uplinks at each location, and no region relies on another to stay up
For instance, if you have computing resources in NYC and Miami, a failure in one region will never affect the other

2026 datacenter capacity fully spoken for by the end of this quarter
Next phase is deploying hardware on that capacity and we will see a shortage of CPU by Q2
AI is eating all the memory
I have bought this hardware for @latitudesh a year ago for ~$25k each unit
today, the memories alone cost $50k

sandbox competition is hot
interesting that providers ranked at the bottom are all at @awscloud

can relate, I've seen unprecedented demand for CPUs on @latitudesh
2024 was gpus
2025 was rams
2026 will be cpus
Just had a call where a customer asked: "Can I spin up 5,000 sandboxes per second? And run 50,000 concurrently? Actually, ideally 500,000?"
Every second, every day, for two weeks.
Multiple frontier companies have also asked us for 500k+ concurrent sandboxes for RL training.
The compute demand is so staggering that CPUs will soon become the next bottleneck.

Memory shortages are driving price increases across the cloud market, either through higher rates or new setup fees.
@latitudesh charges $0 setup fees on all SKUs. We secured thousands of servers ahead of vendor price hikes and will hold pricing while inventory lasts.

12vCPU / 24GB RAM Linux vps couldn’t keep up with openclaw. Constantly crashes
Which specs are you using

Fighting fraud while preserving a great user experience is a hardcore problem in software engineering
Over the past few weeks, this has been my main focus
How to keep friction close to zero for legitimate users while staying ahead of increasingly sophisticated abuse
The world is starving for compute. CPUs and GPUs are scarce, and that scarcity has brought a surge of bad actors, fake identities, stolen cards, and coordinated attempts to gain access to high-end infrastructure
At @latitudesh , we’ve faced a significant wave of abuses over the last few months
This week, we’re rolling out what I believe is the biggest security leap we’ve ever made
On top of existing protections (Stripe Atlas, Stripe Radar, etc.), we built an in-house, risk-based, adaptive fraud prevention system that evaluates signups in real time and dynamically routes users through different verification paths
How it works,
Multi-signal risk scoring — Combines 12+ fraud signals into a single 0–100 risk score
Adaptive verification — Auto-routes users: instant approval → phone OTP → enhanced KYC → block
Real-time signal collection — Email validation, IP intelligence (VPN/proxy/datacenter detection), device fingerprinting, behavioral analysis
Stripe Radar integration — Leverages Stripe’s ML-based fraud signals
Velocity tracking — Detects signup bursts from the same IP, device, or card BIN
Admin review queue — Manual overrides for edge cases
Retroactive analysis tools — Continuously improve rules based on blocked accounts
It detects:
Disposable/temporary emails (3,300+ domains)
VPN, proxy, and datacenter IPs
Geo mismatches (IP location vs billing address)
Bot behavior (fast form fills, paste detection)
Young email domains
Prepaid cards
High-velocity signup patterns
Legitimate users move faster, and fraudsters get stopped automatically
Security doesn’t have to slow platforms down, it just needs to be intelligent.

Today marks one of the most exciting milestones in @latitudesh journey: we have entered into an agreement for acquisition by @megaportnetwork (MP1:ASX). That means we are combining efforts with Megaport to build the world’s first truly integrated platform for compute and connectivity
Over the last 24 years, we’ve built a fully bootstrapped, profitable, and globally scaled business, now operating in 10 countries and 20 cities, serving more than 1,200 customers andgrowing over 50% year over year. Beyond the numbers, what makes me proudest is that we’ve created a product our customers genuinely love to use.
I want to say thank you to the entire @solana and crypto community for helping us get there. Without your support this milestone wouldn't be possible
Special appreciation to @toly for helping connect the entire community to our compute platform
