Linea

ConsenSys zkEVM rollup with a prover-bound block cadence. Idle periods batch into longer intervals (p50 around 3-6 s) while busy periods produce blocks closer to the nominal 2 s mark.

Solana

Proof-of-History sequencing combined with Tower BFT consensus. Probabilistic finality at 32 confirmed slots. Slot time around 400 milliseconds.

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.
