Robinhood Chain RPC comparison, measured every few minutes

Response time

One eth_blockNumber call. The solid bar is the median; the pale extension is the slowest 10%, which is the part you actually notice. Shorter is better.

What each one can do

Speed is not the only thing that matters, and we are not best at all of it.

Not on this chart: Private Send, pre-send simulation and the approval-drain guard are Ordo product features. They are not latency, they are not independently measured on the other endpoints, and they are not a reason this table would put us first.

Method

So that this is checkable rather than claimed.

Every endpoint gets the identical call, eth_blockNumber, from the same machine, in the same cycle.
Six samples per cycle; the first is discarded for every endpoint alike, because it pays for the TLS handshake.
Chain heads are read from all endpoints concurrently. Reading them in sequence on a chain that produces a block every ~100 ms would simply flatter whichever was asked last.
Failures are counted, not retried away. The "answered" column is what it sounds like.
Ordo is reached over its public URL, not over localhost. There is still a home-field effect: that URL terminates on this machine, so our own latency is not what a wallet in another city sees. Everyone else is a real trip from here. Treat the ranking as a comparison of the other endpoints from this host, not as a promise of 30 ms from yours.
One probe per endpoint per cycle. These are other people's servers.
