Ethereum vs Sui
Sui leads on both live benchmarks. Sui wins on Fastest Wormhole VAA finalization by source chain, live latency (2.91 s vs 14.5 min), Fastest LayerZero source chain by end-to-end message delivery (42.00 s vs 4.1 min).
Ethereum
PoS chain using Gasper (Casper FFG plus LMD-GHOST). 12-second slots with deterministic finality every two epochs, roughly 12.8 minutes.
Sui
Move-based L1 using Mysticeti BFT consensus over a DAG. Owned-object transactions bypass consensus via Fast Path. Deterministic finality under one second.

Honest scope. (1) `net_yield = gross_apr × uptime`. NOT "yield net of MEV", Stakewiz `total_apy` already folds Jito MEV into gross, MEV is INCLUDED. `mev_share_bps` exists for transparency, not subtraction. (2) Solana median is dragged by ~42 vals at 0% APY (commission 100% or zero leader slots). (3) Hyperliquid: centralised sequencer, no separate MEV layer, ~30 vals only. (4) Ethereum: one network-average consensus-layer APR from the beacon spec formula, execution tips and MEV excluded.

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.
