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.
PublicNodevsBlast API
+16.8points
- Latency+16.9
- Head freshness−0.1
- Availability+0.0
- Correctness+0.0
The parts add to +16.8, exactly — the score is a weighted sum, so it comes apart.
PublicNodevsMerkle
+24.6points
- Latency+24.6
- Head freshness+0.0
- Availability−0.0
- Correctness+0.0
The parts add to +24.6, exactly — the score is a weighted sum, so it comes apart.
PublicNodevs1RPC
+95.2points
- Availability+40.0
- Latency*+25.8
- Correctness*+20.0
- Head freshness*+9.4
The parts add to +95.2, 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.
