Merkle Benchmark

Merkle is measured across 3 live OpenChainBench benchmarks: Fastest free Base RPC, live no-key endpoint latency (ranks #3 of 6, 242 ms p50), Fastest free BNB Chain RPC, live no-key endpoint latency (ranks #5 of 5, 242 ms p50), Fastest free public RPC for Ethereum, BNB, Polygon and 7 more EVM chains (ranks #6 of 14, 242 ms p50).

3 benchmarks

Merkle exposes per-chain RPC subdomains (`eth.merkle.io`, `base.merkle.io`, `bsc.merkle.io`). Stable on Base + BSC for no-key benchmarking; Ethereum is fronted by an aggressive Cloudflare bot filter (20-minute lockout after a single request) so we exclude it from the leaderboard.

RPC performance by chain

Where Merkle's free endpoint ranks on each measured chain: 24h p50 across 3 probe regions, success rate and failed probes. Full field on /rpc.

Rank counts live providers only; unresponsive endpoints keep recording success rate but hold no latency percentile. Errors (24h) = sample size × (1 − success rate).
