Arbitrum vs Polygon
Arbitrum leads on 2 of 5 shared benchmarks, Polygon on 3. Arbitrum wins on Fastest LayerZero source chain by end-to-end message delivery (27.94 s vs 110.85 s), Fastest Hyperlane source chain by end-to-end message delivery (12.53 s vs 12.88 s). Polygon wins on Fastest Wormhole VAA finalization by source chain, live latency (7.43 s vs 1050.00 s), Fastest Chainlink CCIP source chain by end-to-end delivery latency (750.00 s vs 1050.00 s), Fastest Axelar GMP source chain by end-to-end delivery (52.50 s vs 1500.00 s).
Arbitrum
Optimistic rollup built on Nitro stack with a fast-finality sequencer. Sub-second block times (~250 ms) via a 250 ms default block interval, far below the 2 s OP Stack convention. 7-day fraud-proof window for L1 finality.

How is the Arbitrum vs Polygon comparison measured?
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.
How this pair was selected
A pair is published when all four conditions hold. Both providers run in the same OpenChainBench benchmark for at least seven consecutive days. Each provider has at least 1000 samples in the measurement window. The head to head query has observable third party search demand. Both providers have a public /products/[slug] page on OCB. The full pair ledger is versioned in the public repo so the methodology is externally verifiable.
