Binance vs PublicNode

Binance leads on both live benchmarks. Binance wins on Fastest free public RPC for Ethereum, BNB, Polygon and 23 more chains (73 ms vs 197 ms), Most reliable free public RPC, correctness incidents across 7 EVM chains (43 vs 45).

Binance

Official BNB Chain RPC endpoints operated by Binance. Multiple dataseed hosts (`bsc-dataseed1.binance.org` etc.) round-robin for load distribution.

PublicNode

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

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.

A zero row means no incident was caught in the window, not a proof of correctness. Most providers post zero most days; this bench exists for the days they do not, and for the errors: a blocked eth_getLogs or a balance read gated behind a paid key at 40 blocks of depth counts as an incident because it is one from the caller's seat.

Frequently asked questions

Binance vs PublicNode: which one is better?

Binance and PublicNode are compared on 3 shared OpenChainBench benchmarks. Binance leads on Fastest free public RPC for Ethereum, BNB, Polygon and 23 more chains. See the live table on this page for every metric.

Which is faster, Binance or PublicNode?

On the Fastest free public RPC for Ethereum, BNB, Polygon and 23 more chains benchmark, Binance leads at 73 ms versus PublicNode at 197 ms. Live measurement is updated continuously by the OpenChainBench harness.

How is the Binance 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.
