Side by side OpenChainBench measurements. Identical layout, no editorial verdict, the live data leads. Each panel surfaces the aggregate plus the chain and region breakdowns when the underlying bench exposes them, straight from the Prometheus queries that drive the parent benchmark pages.
Lava Network is a decentralized RPC mesh with permissionless validators. Public no-key endpoints work for Ethereum (`eth1.lava.build`) and Arbitrum (`arb1.lava.build`); other chains require an account-issued key.
Free public RPC service covering Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism and other EVM chains. No registration required, modest rate limits per IP.

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.
