thirdweb

ThirdWeb operates a keyless public RPC gateway at `<chainid>.rpc.thirdweb.com` covering 2000+ EVM chains via chain-id routing. Free tier is rate-limited per IP with no signup; paid tiers unlock higher throughput and dedicated endpoints. Used keyless across 13 chains on the RPC latency cluster (arbitrum, ethereum, polygon, optimism, base, bnb, avalanche, linea, worldchain, kaia, ink, opbnb + more).

Published prices, not invoices. Each figure is human-verified against the provider's own pricing page or API and carries the date it was read; the harness re-hashes 23 of those artifacts on a loop to catch an upstream edit. A 30-day month and flat traffic are assumed, the most generous reading. NOWNodes prices in EUR. A provider absent from a cell is not missing data: it has no plan that can serve that workload, usually a cap or a throughput ceiling rather than the price.

Frequently asked questions

dRPC vs thirdweb: which one is better?

dRPC and thirdweb are compared on 26 shared OpenChainBench benchmarks. dRPC leads on Mode RPC endpoints. thirdweb leads on BOB RPC endpoints. See the live table on this page for every metric.

Which is faster on rpc latency, dRPC or thirdweb?

On the Mode RPC endpoints benchmark, dRPC leads at 394 ms versus thirdweb at 452 ms. Live measurement is updated continuously by the OpenChainBench harness.

How is the dRPC vs thirdweb 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.

Live data refreshes via ISR within 60 seconds of a new run. Sources are the same Prometheus queries surfaced on the parent benchmark pages.
