dRPC and X Layer are compared on 1 shared OpenChainBench benchmarks. X Layer leads on Fastest free X Layer RPC, live no-key EVM endpoint latency. See the live table on this page for every metric.
On the Fastest free X Layer RPC, live no-key EVM endpoint latency benchmark, X Layer leads at 43 ms versus dRPC at 398 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.
