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.
NodeRealvsMerkle
+10.0points
- Latency+9.7
- Head freshness+0.3
- Availability+0.0
- Correctness+0.0
The parts add to +10.0, exactly — the score is a weighted sum, so it comes apart.
NodeRealvsMEV Blocker
+10.6points
- Latency+10.5
- Head freshness+0.1
- Availability+0.0
- Correctness+0.0
The parts add to +10.6, exactly — the score is a weighted sum, so it comes apart.
NodeRealvs1RPC
+80.1points
- Availability+40.0
- Correctness*+20.0
- Latency*+10.5
- Head freshness*+9.6
The parts add to +80.1, 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.
