Three caveats. (1) Lower is better, but a non-zero floor (~5-20 bps) is normal, ticker last-traded prices have micro-jitter and Chainlink updates only on deviation/heartbeat. (2) XRP, ADA, DOGE measured on 3 sources because Chainlink deprecated those USD feeds on Ethereum mainnet, tag flags it. (3) POL/USD is the post-migration symbol for MATIC; we point at POLUSDT (not the frozen legacy MATICUSDT).

Which is cheaper, BNB or Polygon?

On the Chainlink vs Pyth vs Binance vs Coinbase, live oracle deviation benchmark, BNB leads at 0.020% versus Polygon at 0.041%. Live measurement is updated continuously by the OpenChainBench harness.

How is the BNB 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

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.
