Benchmark Summary
When evaluating the BASE mainnet endpoints across varied request loads, the following observations stand out:
P50 Latency: Nodies has the lowest latency across all load rates, while other providers such as BlastAPI and ANKR also show competitive latencies. Quicknode exhibits higher latencies at higher load rates.
P90 Latency: Nodies consistently outperforms other providers, showcasing its reliability. Similar to P50, BlastAPI and Ankr also offer strong performance. Quicknode displays high latencies at higher loads, especially at 10,000 rps.
P99 Latency: Nodies maintains low latencies even under high loads. Other providers show significantly higher latencies at P99, with Quicknode demonstrating the highest latency at 10,000 rps.
In summary, Nodies consistently delivers the lowest latencies at all percentiles across different load rates. BlastAPI also showcases commendable performance. QuickNode, despite acceptable results at lower request loads, struggles at higher ones. Ankr exhibited consistent but slightly elevated latencies at peak loads.
