◆ LIVE LEADERBOARD
Measured, not claimed.
A provider-neutral Solana RPC/gRPC leaderboard, measured with solbench - our open-source benchmark tool. Every number here is reproducible from your own machine. We lead with the metrics that reflect co-located infrastructure - gRPC first-seen, slot-lag, and landing - not a read-latency ping that just measures your distance to the server.
◆ THE BOARD
Same harness, same moment.
// measured from Frankfurt · Equinix FR13 · mainnet · rolling 24h · awaiting first co-located run
Live board not published yet
We don't post continuous leaderboard numbers until they're measured on a co-located run (not a laptop). Placeholders below read ‹ - › until then. For real published evidence today, use the dated reports.
# On the FR13 measurement host only
cargo install --git https://github.com/rpc-edge/solbench solbench
export SOLBENCH_RPCEDGE_URL='https://rpc.rpcedge.com/?api-key=…'
./scripts/publish-benchmarks-live.sh # writes apps/web/data/benchmarks-live.json
# then push + deploy web// laptop smoke checks schema only - do not label home geography as FR13
| Provider | gRPC first-seen p50 | slot-lag | landing | read latency p50 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| rpc edgeoperator | ‹ - › | ‹ - › | ‹ - › | ‹ - › |
| public mainnet-beta | ‹ - › | ‹ - › | ‹ - › | ‹ - › |
// first-seen + slot-lag reflect co-located infra; read latency is network-inclusive (dimmed). lower is better on all.
◆ REPRODUCE IT
A non-reproducible score is just a claim.
solbench is open source, provider-neutral, and takes your own endpoints. Run the same race we do - two Yellowstone endpoints, first to see each slot wins:
cargo install --git https://github.com/rpc-edge/solbench solbench --features grpc
# Read latency + slot-lag (any host; label your region honestly)
solbench probe --samples 50
solbench report --region "your-region" --window "1h" > run.json
# gRPC first-seen race (co-located comparison)
