Avalanche

Primary Network runs the Snowman BFT consensus derived from Snow protocols. Sub-second deterministic finality with no chain reorganizations.

PublicNode

Public no-key RPC service operated by Allnodes covering 70+ chains. JSON-RPC and WebSocket endpoints with archive support on most networks.

RPC latency

Avalanchen/aPublicNoden/a

Latency is conditional on success: the harness times only calls returning a valid fresh block, so a mostly-failing endpoint can post a fast p50. Rows below 50 percent success are degraded; unresponsive probes pin below the table. The All chains aggregate favours single-chain foundation endpoints (Base, Binance, Arbitrum, Optimism, Avalanche officials) since they rank on one chain only; use a chain tab for honest comparison. Dead endpoints (cloudflare-eth POST returns -32603) are excluded.

On the Fastest free public RPC for Ethereum, BNB, Polygon and 23 more chains benchmark, Avalanche leads at 86 ms versus PublicNode at 108 ms. Live measurement is updated continuously by the OpenChainBench harness.

How is the Avalanche vs PublicNode 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

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.
