12 RPC providers, independently measured

A provider is an organisation, not an endpoint. One provider may serve several chains over several transports, and its capabilities can differ on each — which is why support is measured per method rather than assumed from a documentation page.

Looking for a recommendation?Which provider actually leads, per chainThe same measurements as the table below, read as an answer rather than a ranking — with the sample count and the method behind it.

Providers

6 public, 6 commercial

Endpoints

under continuous measurement

Chains covered

with at least one endpoint

What the kind means

Public— Open endpoint, no key and no account
Commercial— A paid service, though the endpoint measured here may be a free tier

Take it awayCSV JSONevery provider, not only the filtered view

Score, p95 and the answered share are the cross-chain figures for the 24h window — one provider, everything measured of it, together. A provider measured on one chain and one measured on three are therefore not being asked the same question, which is why the per-chain rankings exist and why this table links to them rather than replacing them.
