Providers
Compare RPC providers on measured data
The top 4 on the chosen chain are compared by default. Pick your own — up to 4 — and the selection moves into the URL, so a comparison can be sent to someone else and they will see exactly what you saw.

9 providers scored against each other.
Where the gap comes from
Two scores side by side say one is higher. This says why: the score is a weighted sum, so it comes apart, and each component’s share of the difference adds back to the difference exactly. Compared against NodeReal, the highest scorer of those selected.
NodeRealvsBlast API
+2.7points
- Latency+2.6
- Head freshness+0.1
- Availability+0.0
- Correctness+0.0
The parts add to +2.7, exactly — the score is a weighted sum, so it comes apart.
NodeRealvsMerkle
+10.9points
- Latency+10.6
- Head freshness+0.3
- Availability+0.0
- Correctness+0.0
The parts add to +10.9, exactly — the score is a weighted sum, so it comes apart.
NodeRealvs1RPC
+81.0points
- Availability+40.0
- Correctness*+20.0
- Latency*+11.4
- Head freshness*+9.6
The parts add to +81.0, exactly — the score is a weighted sum, so it comes apart. Components marked * were measured for only one of the two; the other’s weight is spread across what it does have, which is why the two sides can carry different weights for the same row.
