dRPC

Decentralized RPC mesh routing requests across third-party node providers with consensus checks. Free public tier plus higher-tier authenticated access.

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).

Frequently asked questions

dRPC vs thirdweb: which one is better?

dRPC and thirdweb are compared on 22 shared OpenChainBench benchmarks. dRPC leads on Fastest free Mode RPC, live no-key EVM endpoint latency. See the live table on this page for every metric.

Which is faster, dRPC or thirdweb?

On the Fastest free Mode RPC, live no-key EVM endpoint latency benchmark, dRPC leads at 382 ms versus thirdweb at 583 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.
