BNB vs Ethereum
BNB leads on 7 of 8 shared benchmarks, Ethereum on 1. BNB wins on Fastest L1 blockchain finality, live across 11 chains (1.1 s vs 15.9 min), Cheapest blockchain transaction fee, live across 15 L1 and L2 chains ($0.000765 vs $0.00326), Fastest Wormhole VAA finalization by source chain, live latency (5.09 s vs 15.0 min), Fastest Chainlink CCIP source chain by end-to-end delivery latency (1.4 min vs 17.3 min). Ethereum wins on Chainlink vs Pyth vs Binance vs Coinbase, live oracle deviation (0.100% vs 0.10%).
BNB
Proof-of-Staked-Authority L1 with 21 active validators rotating per epoch. Probabilistic finality reached after roughly 2 blocks. Block time around 3 seconds.
Ethereum
PoS chain using Gasper (Casper FFG plus LMD-GHOST). 12-second slots with deterministic finality every two epochs, roughly 12.8 minutes.

How is the BNB vs Ethereum 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.
