Ankr leads on all 3 live benchmarks. Ankr wins on Fastest free Kava RPC, live no-key EVM endpoint latency (38 ms vs 526 ms), Fastest free Flare RPC, live no-key EVM endpoint latency (69 ms vs 515 ms), Fastest free Core Chain RPC, live no-key EVM endpoint latency (80 ms vs 508 ms).
Multi-chain RPC service covering 65+ chains on the freemium tier. One API key across chains; some networks are premium-gated.
ThirdWeb operates a keyless public RPC gateway at `<chainid>.rpc.thirdweb.com` covering 2000+ EVM chains via chain-id routing. Free tier is rate-limited per IP with no signup; paid tiers unlock higher throughput and dedicated endpoints. Used keyless across 13 chains on the RPC latency cluster (arbitrum, ethereum, polygon, optimism, base, bnb, avalanche, linea, worldchain, kaia, ink, opbnb + more).

Ankr and thirdweb are compared on 5 shared OpenChainBench benchmarks. Ankr leads on Fastest free Kava RPC, live no-key EVM endpoint latency. See the live table on this page for every metric.
On the Fastest free Kava RPC, live no-key EVM endpoint latency benchmark, Ankr leads at 38 ms versus thirdweb at 526 ms. Live measurement is updated continuously by the OpenChainBench harness.
Every benchmark on this page uses the same open methodology, published at https://openchainbench.com/methodology. Data is CC-BY-4.0. Measurement harnesses are MIT-licensed.
Auto-generated pairs require: both providers in the same benchmark for seven consecutive days, at least 1000 samples per provider, observable third-party search demand, and a public /products/[slug] page on OCB. Editorially curated pairs (like this one) may publish early when search demand is high and data is accruing — panels with fewer than 100 samples are shown as provisional. The full pair ledger is versioned in the public repo.
