Ethereum vs Osmosis
Osmosis leads on both live benchmarks. Osmosis wins on Cheapest blockchain to deploy a token, live USD cost per L1 chain ($0.00120 vs $0.1016), Fastest Axelar GMP source chain by end-to-end delivery (52.42 s vs 17.1 min). Data as of 2026-11-13 UTC.
Ethereum
PoS chain using Gasper (Casper FFG plus LMD-GHOST). 12-second slots with deterministic finality every two epochs, roughly 12.8 minutes.
Osmosis
Cosmos SDK appchain and the largest IBC-connected DEX. CometBFT consensus with deterministic finality per block, around 6-second block time. TokenFactory module exposes MsgCreateDenom with denom_creation_fee currently set to an empty list, so creating a new denom costs only gas.

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.
