BNB · chain id 56 · 450 ms block time · 5 providers, 8 endpoints

BNB Smart Chain uses Parlia with fast finality. Sub-second block times mean a single block of lag is normal and is not treated as staleness; the staleness threshold is derived from this block time rather than being a fixed number of blocks.

  • Excellent / Good— Fast, available and correct all window
  • Fair / Degraded— Measurable failures or slow tails
  • Poor— Failing often enough to affect an application
  • Insufficient data— Too few samples to score at all

5 providers scored against each other.

The score weights availability at 40%, latency at 30%, correctness at 20% and head freshness at 10%. Correctness also acts as a ceiling: a provider that answers quickly and wrongly cannot be rated healthy on speed alone. Full methodology

Latency over time

1h window · top 5 by score

95th percentile, computed over successful requests only. A request that timed out is not a latency sample; it is counted against availability instead. Gaps are gaps — periods with no collection are not bridged.

Head freshness

1h window · generated 2026-10-27 12:02:55 UTC · cohort of 4

How far behind the chain each provider's data is. Latency cannot answer this: an endpoint can reply in 8 ms with a head from four minutes ago, and every speed measurement will still rate it excellent.

Each observed head is compared against the cohort reference for its instant: the highest head any measured provider had reached, after discarding heads implausibly far above the cohort median and time-aligning samples taken moments apart. Lag is therefore relative to the fastest-updating provider in the set, not to an absolute truth. A cohort of fewer than two providers produces no freshness data at all.

From each region

The same BSC measurements, grouped by the vantage point they were taken from. A provider that answers in 40 ms from one region can take 220 ms from another, and the ranking above is an average across whichever regions are reporting.
