Lava Network Benchmark
Lava Network is measured across 7 live OpenChainBench benchmarks: Fastest free Solana RPC, live no-key endpoint latency (ranks #4 of 5, 297 ms p50), Fastest free Sonic RPC, live no-key endpoint latency (ranks #5 of 5, 479 ms p50), Fastest free Ethereum RPC, live no-key endpoint latency (ranks #6 of 6, 388 ms p50), Fastest free public RPC for Ethereum, BNB, Polygon and 23 more chains (plus Solana and Polkadot) (ranks #9 of 12, 300 ms p50).

RPC performance by chain
Where Lava Network's free endpoint ranks on each measured chain: 24h p50 across 3 probe regions, success rate and failed probes. Full field on /rpc.
| Chain | Rank | p50 (24h) | Success | Errors (24h) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| #5/7 | 265 ms | 98.31% | 73 |
Rank counts live providers only; unresponsive endpoints keep recording success rate but hold no latency percentile. Errors (24h) = sample size × (1 − success rate).
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.
