Developer resources and benchmark profiles for testing blockchain RPC endpoint speed, reliability, method compatibility, rate limits, and chain freshness.
The GetBlock RPC Benchmark runs a live, side-by-side comparison between your current RPC endpoint and the matching GetBlock endpoint for the selected protocol.
Both endpoints receive the same bounded sequence of read-only RPC requests from the same benchmark server.
The tool helps developers understand not only which endpoint is faster, but which one looks more reliable and production-ready for their workload.
- p50, p95, and p99 latency
- Success, error, and timeout rates
- Latency jitter and consistency
- Method-level compatibility
- HTTP 429 and rate-limit symptoms
- Latest block, slot, height, or ledger freshness
- Sync lag and stale-node risk
- Workload-specific production fit
The benchmark adapts its RPC method mix to the type of application being tested:
- General dApp
- Wallet or portfolio app
- Data indexer or analytics platform
- DEX or trading bot
- NFT marketplace
The live benchmark supports 100+ blockchain protocol and network options, including:
- Ethereum
- BNB Smart Chain
- Polygon
- Solana
- Bitcoin
- Arbitrum
- Base
- Tron
- Avalanche
- Optimism
- Starknet
- Sui
- TON
- Polkadot
- Cosmos
- and many more

The benchmark uses paired side-by-side testing:
- Same protocol and network
- Same workload profile
- Same read-only RPC methods
- Same request sequence
- Same timeout
- Same benchmark duration
- Same benchmark server
- Same measurement window
The benchmark never sends transactions, signs messages, or asks for private keys, seed phrases, or wallet secrets.

Use the browser tool to compare your RPC endpoint against GetBlock with live performance cards, latency charts, method-level results, freshness checks, actionable findings, and a downloadable report.
No signup is required to run the benchmark.
The benchmark is a short, point-in-time comparison, not an SLA or a full production load test.
Results may vary depending on:
- Benchmark server region
- Provider routing
- RPC plan
- Rate limits
- Cache state
- Current node load
- Blockchain network conditions
- Selected workload profile
GetBlock provides RPC infrastructure and blockchain APIs across 100+ networks.
