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) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
 Arbitrum One | #5/7 | 287 ms | 96.77% | 139 |
 Cosmos Hub | #1/4 | 69 ms | 100.00% | 0 |
 Ethereum | #5/6 | 366 ms | 98.47% | 66 |
 NEAR Protocol | #3/4 | 298 ms | 100.00% | 0 |
 Solana | #3/4 | 220 ms | 99.00% | 43 |
 Sonic | #5/5 | 444 ms | 100.00% | 0 |
 Starknet | #1/3 | 232 ms | 99.81% | 8 |
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.
