dRPC leads on 2 of 4 shared benchmarks, MeowRPC on 2. dRPC wins on Fastest free public RPC for Ethereum, BNB, Polygon and 23 more chains (plus Solana and Polkadot) (227 ms vs 266 ms), Fastest free Ethereum RPC, live no-key endpoint latency (83 ms vs 265 ms). MeowRPC wins on Fastest free Arbitrum RPC, live no-key endpoint latency (267 ms vs 299 ms), Most reliable free public RPC, correctness incidents across 7 EVM chains (83 vs 163).
Decentralized RPC mesh routing requests across third-party node providers with consensus checks. Free public tier plus higher-tier authenticated access.
Free public RPC service covering Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism and other EVM chains. No registration required, modest rate limits per IP.

dRPC and MeowRPC are compared on 4 shared OpenChainBench benchmarks. dRPC leads on Fastest free public RPC for Ethereum, BNB, Polygon and 23 more chains (plus Solana and Polkadot). MeowRPC leads on Fastest free Arbitrum RPC, live no-key endpoint latency. See the live table on this page for every metric.
On the Fastest free public RPC for Ethereum, BNB, Polygon and 23 more chains (plus Solana and Polkadot) benchmark, dRPC leads at 227 ms versus MeowRPC at 266 ms. Live measurement is updated continuously by the OpenChainBench harness.
On the Fastest free Arbitrum RPC, live no-key endpoint latency benchmark, MeowRPC leads at 267 ms versus dRPC at 299 ms. Live measurement is updated continuously by the OpenChainBench harness.
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.
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.
