MeowRPC

Free public RPC service covering Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism and other EVM chains. No registration required, modest rate limits per IP.

Nodies

Nodies is the surviving public-RPC frontend for POKT Network's decentralized infrastructure. Per-chain subdomains like `eth-pokt.nodies.app`, `polygon-pokt.nodies.app`, `arb-pokt.nodies.app`. Covers most major EVM chains no-key.

RPC latency

MeowRPCn/aNodiesn/a

Latency is conditional on success: the harness times only calls returning a valid fresh block, so a mostly-failing endpoint can post a fast p50. Rows below 50 percent success are degraded; unresponsive probes pin below the table. The All chains aggregate favours single-chain foundation endpoints (Base, Binance, Arbitrum, Optimism, Avalanche officials) since they rank on one chain only; use a chain tab for honest comparison. Dead endpoints (cloudflare-eth POST returns -32603) are excluded.

Reliability incidents

MeowRPCn/aNodiesn/a

A zero row means no incident was caught in the window, not a proof of correctness. Most providers post zero most days; this bench exists for the days they do not, and for the errors: a blocked eth_getLogs or a balance read gated behind a paid key at 40 blocks of depth counts as an incident because it is one from the caller's seat.

How is the MeowRPC vs Nodies comparison measured?

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.

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.
