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 PublicNode, the highest scorer of those selected.
PublicNodevsdRPC
+8.2points
- Latency+8.4
- Head freshness−0.1
- Availability−0.0
- Correctness−0.0
The parts add to +8.2, exactly — the score is a weighted sum, so it comes apart.
PublicNodevsMerkle
+21.7points
- Latency+21.7
- Availability−0.0
- Head freshness−0.0
- Correctness−0.0
The parts add to +21.7, exactly — the score is a weighted sum, so it comes apart.
PublicNodevsCloudflare
+43.5points
- Availability+29.7
- Head freshness*+9.4
- Latency+6.6
- Correctness−2.2
The parts add to +43.5, 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.
