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
+4.6points
- Latency+4.5
- Head freshness+0.1
- Availability+0.0
- Correctness+0.0
The parts add to +4.6, exactly — the score is a weighted sum, so it comes apart.
NodeRealvsMerkle
+12.1points
- Latency+11.8
- Head freshness+0.3
- Availability+0.0
- Correctness+0.0
The parts add to +12.1, exactly — the score is a weighted sum, so it comes apart.
NodeRealvsCloudflare
+37.0points
- Availability+29.7
- Head freshness*+9.6
- Correctness−2.2
- Latency−0.1
The parts add to +37.0, 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.
