Live RPC provider comparison
Compare public RPC providers on live traffic. Goldsky measures latency, errors, bad data, and block lag every hour from Goldsky Edge requests in 4 AWS regions.
- Pick a view. Choose a chain, a method group or a single method, a region, and a time window.
- Compare providers. Each row is one provider. Lower is better in every column.
- Goldsky Boost is a cache in front of the provider you use now. With Boost on, the table shows Boost’s cache-hit latency and the share of each provider’s calls it answers from cache.

How to read the table
Columns
- p50
- Median response time. Half of the requests were faster. Every attempt counts.
- p90
- 90th-percentile response time. 9 in 10 requests were faster.
- Errors
- Share of requests that returned an error.
- Bad data
- Share of requests that returned missing data, a wrong empty result, or another wrong response.
- Block lag
- How many blocks the provider’s latest block is behind the chain tip, as the median of the hourly values.
