Solana leads on the only live benchmark. Solana wins on Fastest free Solana RPC, live no-key endpoint latency (84 ms vs 279 ms).
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.
Proof-of-History sequencing combined with Tower BFT consensus. Probabilistic finality at 32 confirmed slots. Slot time around 400 milliseconds.

Lava Network and Solana are compared on 1 shared OpenChainBench benchmarks. Solana leads on Fastest free Solana RPC, live no-key endpoint latency. See the live table on this page for every metric.
On the Fastest free Solana RPC, live no-key endpoint latency benchmark, Solana leads at 84 ms versus Lava Network at 279 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.
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.
