Independent metrics about @OnFinality RPC performance are now available at

https://t.co/NupKjF6B6v

OnFinality users can validate performance claims made by OnFinality and their competitors.

Anyone can use our free public RPC Inspector Pro to measure OnFinality public or private endpoints for EVM and Substrate protocols like Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, Plasma, Polkadot, Kusama etc.

Each performance run can cover up to 31 global locations on 6 continents and include one or two endpoints to compare OnFinality with their competitors like @goldskyio @ChainstackHQ @RealBlockPI @amforcag @dRPCorg etc.

In this example, you can see that OnFinality public endpoint for Polkadot mainnet scores global p95 latency for chain_getBlock(hash) of ~2120.5 ms while the public endpoint by Amforc does better at ~1927.2 ms

We started 2026 with a record-breaking Quarter… now our best Month ever.
This is our Year 🚀

Yet again, we’ve hit a record-breaking Month for developer subscriptions and revenue.

This isn’t the result of a single silver bullet.
It’s the result of myriad iterations, a relentless focus on the developer experience, shipping new tools and a commitment to providing the most reliable blockchain infra in the game.

Thank you to the thousands of builders who build with Tatum.
We’re honored to be your infra partner 🤝

60 websockets in 30 locations on 6 continents are battling for newHeads on #base mainnet in this video.

Team @Alchemy in RED vs. @ValidationCloud in GREEN.

Validation Cloud websocket in N. Virginia won overall and its team GREEN takes 1402 : 532 block-locations for the range 46,560,238 to 46,560,301. Alchemy was the lead in Europe.

NOWNodes users can validate performance claims made by NOWNodes and their competitors.

Anyone can use our free public #RPC Inspector Pro to measure NOWNodes public or private endpoints for EVM protocols, Solana, UTXO chains like Bitcoin, Cosmos or Polkadot ecosystems.

Each performance run can cover up to 31 global locations on 6 continents and include one or two endpoints to compare NOWNodes with their competitors like @Dwellir @OnFinality @zan_team @SpectrumNodes etc.

In this example, you can see that NOWNodes public endpoint for BSC mainnet scores p95 latency for eth_getLogs(hash) of ~48.7 ms from Ohio while their latency from Tokyo is ~826.9 ms instead

Spectrum users can validate performance made by Spectrum and their competitors.

Spectrum serves #WebSockets for numerous protocols incl. #Ethereum mainnet: using our free public #RPC Inspector Pro, anyone can compare the speed of newHeads notifications between Spectrum and any other wss provider like @Dwellir, @OnFinality, @zan_team , @NOWNodes etc.

RPC Inspector Pro collects data from 31 locations on 6 continents to show you which provider is first to “see” each block notification in each location.

The results look like this output for Alchemy wss vs. Chainsstack on Ethereum mainnet https://t.co/mq0TWnkobc

If you are addicted to data about #Solana blocks then you should indulge in this safe-for-work video about Solana block propagation around the world.

We used our RPC Inspector Pro and Alchemy gRPC to capture arrival timestamps from 31 locations on 6 continents for finalized blocks.

This video shows two minutes of blocks from 421,991,948 to 421,992,275.

Each “pop” is the location that was first to observe a new block. The lines streak out from that 1st location to every other subsequent location, in the order of their arrivals.

The size of each location dot is proportional to the count of 1st-to-block “wins” in that location.

RPC Inspector Pro is free and public: anyone can use gRPC or WebSockets endpoints to capture and visualize propagation for networks in the EVM / SVM / CosmosBFT / Substrate ecosystems, or Sui checkpoints as well.

About a week ago we reported that @getblockio WebSocket in Europe deliver notifications about newHeads on Optimism mainnet more quickly than @Alchemy .

Earlier today we checked in on their websockets for #Arbitrum mainnet too.

This time we brought our global "blockchain camera" to capture the visual approximation about block notifications arriving into each of the 8 locations: Frankfurt, Paris, London, Ireland, Milan, Zurich, Stockholm and Zaragoza.

Below is the video we made from our public & free propagation visualizer.

Blocks are in the range of 464,847,856 to 464,847,994 abbreviated as ..856 to ..994.

In the video, GetBlock is "green" while Alchemy is "red": whichever websocket is first to see a new block number in that location, it adds to the green/red totals for that that location.

If GetBlock is first to see a new number overall, the pop label in that location is green "A"... or the red "B"... in case of Alchemy.

And if you look closely, you will see a lot of green "As" because GetBlock was 1st overall for every number in this range, for this group of locations.

Also, GetBlock "won" all 8 locations on total block-location counts too, which is why all the locations are green and none are red.

Lastly, Paris and Frankfurt are larger in size because new blocks were observed there most often.

Ofc, we collected all our telemetry from AWS locations which could have positive or negative effect on either set of websockets. Likewise, this situation could be temporary and we recommend that #RPC buyers run multiple rounds of performance tests with our public RPC Inspector Pro at @CompareNodes.

#BSC mainnet is the 7th and final EVM protocol in our $49/mo global RPC showdown with @DwellirOfficial vs. @ChainstackHQ via JSON-RPC and WebSocket from 31 locations.

Chainstack wins 42 to 3 across JSON-RPC and WebSocket; but, we did observe 2 timeouts during JSON-RPC runs and in one round Chainstack's eth_getLogs was missing ~3% of the blocks which were already announced by the same endpoint via eth_getBlockByNumber; hence a dip in block availability;

Otherwise, both Chainstack and Dwellir delivered 100% blockNumber consistency and availability;

Lastly, Dwellir had 4 timeouts in WebSocket and Chainstack 1 lost WebSocket.

Btw, the results for Polygon mainnet are in https://t.co/xZeyRcJcFB

The results are in for #Polygon mainnet in our $49/mo global RPC showdown with @DwellirOfficial vs. @ChainstackHQ via JSON-RPC and WebSocket from 31 locations.

Chainstack appears to dominate JSON-RPC for the overall result of 29 to 16 while Dwellir's was well ahead in WebSocket newHeads;

Both achieved perfect 100% blockNumber consistency and 100% block availability; and Chainstack had 3 timeouts;

Dwellir did win the entire WebSocket and did so with 115 connection problems, out of possible 465!
