Robinhood Chain is now live on NOWNodes An Ethereum Layer-2 on the Arbitrum Orbit stack, it brings tokenized stocks, ETFs, and other real-world assets onchain for 24/7 trading. Transactions execute off-chain and settle on Ethereum L1 — ~100ms preconfirmations and low fees, with security inherited from Ethereum. A familiar engineering approach rather than a new one: the same path Coinbase took with Base.

Archive RPC 📙: When “Free” Gets in the Way of BuildingYou’re shipping a wallet scanner, indexer or bridge… then free RPCs hit you with 403s, timeouts and “archive requires a personal token.” ⬇️ ✅We tested them live: medium.com/blockpi/6dfde4… 📡 No more broken infrastructure.➡️ Enable archive now: dashboard.blockpi.io #ArchiveRPC #Web3Infra #BlockPI #RPC

We agree that block propagation is very important as well: that is the reason our RPC Inspector Pro detects lagging nodes in our propagation sections. In the report we did to compare @ValidationCloud and Arc's public endpoint, our analysis was that neither endpoint was lagging, hence lagging=0

@CompareNodes @arc @Quicknode @ValidationCloud Latency is important, but it's also block freshness that matters for many applications. You can have 20ms vs 100ms, but if 20ms latency provider responds with -1 block, and 100ms with latest one, some developers will prefer the one that gets blocks first.

Arc 🤝 Quicknode @Quicknode is delivering fast, reliable, enterprise-grade node and data infrastructure for developers building on Arc. This enables builders to have the performance, visibility, and reliability needed to run production workloads from day one. → High-performance RPC, indexing, and monitoring → Globally distributed nodes built to scale → Turnkey dashboards, logs, and analytics Arc is production-ready. Built for builders from day one.

And if you wish to measure @Helius vs. @rpcfast then you should use our independent RPC Inspector Pro for ad-hoc comparisons from 30 locations on 6 continents: ✅ @Helius vs. @rpcfast ✅ @Helius vs. every other provider in our directory of 80+ providers for Solana ✅ WebSocket vs. WebSocket ✅ gRPC vs. gRPC ✅ gRPC vs. WebSocket Public RPC Inspector Pro for every provider on #Solana at comparenodes.com/performance-in…

And don't forget to check RPC performance before you pick the provider! In this independent report, you can see that @ValidationCloud (free) endpoint delivers better p95 latency for 7 methods across a mix of 30 locations on 6 continents than Arc's public endpoint comparenodes.com/global-rpc-per… Ofc, you can check it yourself for any of the 10 providers for #Arc #RPC: @Alchemy @BlockdaemonHQ @RealBlockPI @dRPCorg @getblockio @NoditPlatform @Quicknode @sentioxyz @thirdweb and @ValidationCloud by using our public RPC Inspector Pro at comparenodes.com/protocols/arc/

Be careful about #WebSockets for #Arbitrum mainnet if milliseconds are important to you when your app is processing newHeads! On July 15 we captured ~13k messages each, from 6 infra providers in 30 locations on 6 continents to search for best arrival patterns in their WebSockets for Arbitrum mainnet. Using our public RPC Inspector Pro, we launched 30 separate simultaneous connections for each of @Alchemy, @ChainstackHQ, @infura_io, @zan_team, @BlockdaemonHQ and @ValidationCloud from: Oregon, N. California, Mexico, Ohio, N. Virginia, Montreal, São Paulo, Ireland, Zaragoza, London, Paris, Frankfurt, Zurich, Milan, Stockholm, Cape Town, Tel Aviv, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Jakarta, Hong Kong, Taipei, Seoul, Osaka, Tokyo, Melbourne, and Sydney. After 3 runs, our findings are that the customers of each provider should get the earliest arrivals in the following locations for Arbitrum mainnet: Alchemy worked best in Oregon Chainstack was best from N. California Infura delivered best into N. Virginia Validation Cloud also worked best in Oregon ZAN was concentrated in SE Asia: Singapore and Kuala Lumpur Blockdaemon was somewhat scattered across N. Virginia, Montreal and London These mean that you can expect an Alchemy endpoint for Arbitrum mainnet to deliver newHeads messages sooner to Oregon, than the same Alchemy endpoint would deliver them to Milan etc. #web3 #blockchain #rpc #performance

@rpcfast users can get independent metrics about their wss performance for Solana mainnet from 30 locations including Frankfurt using our public RPC Inspector Pro for RPC Fast at comparenodes.com/providers/rpc-… Our measures on July 14 show that RPC Fast wss can deliver messages about Solana slots more quickly than Alchemy comparenodes.com/global-rpc-per… comparenodes.com/global-rpc-per… comparenodes.com/global-rpc-per…

@supanodes Solana mainnet service by @htwtech_ can deliver better performance to AWS Frankfurt and Zurich than @Alchemy for JSON-RPC requests or WSS and gRPC connections. We used our public RPC Inspector Pro to measure the two services side-by-side in 9 runs. Supanodes won: 11 of 12 "races" in p95 latency for getSlot/getBlock (2 methods x 2 locations x 3 runs) 405 to 8 arrivals for slotSubscribe via wss (2 locations x 3 runs) 472 to 19 arrivals for Yellowstone/gRPC slot updates (2 locations x 3 runs) comparenodes.com/global-rpc-per… comparenodes.com/global-rpc-per… comparenodes.com/global-rpc-per… comparenodes.com/global-rpc-per… comparenodes.com/global-rpc-per… comparenodes.com/global-rpc-per… comparenodes.com/global-rpc-per… comparenodes.com/global-rpc-per… comparenodes.com/global-rpc-per…

@InodraHQ is now provider no.213 in our directory for web3 data & APIs and they serve @SuiNetwork along with 53 other firms. Our public RPC Inspector Pro shows that Inodra's gRPC service for Sui mainnet checkpoints delivers messages earlier than Alchemy's gRPC for Sui. Also, Inodra does better than the public Sui endpoint hosted by @01node Get your own independent metrics about Inodra performance from 30 global locations on 6 continents at comparenodes.com/providers/inod…

@ValidationCloud websockets can deliver messages more quickly than @infura_io on Arbitrum, Base, BSC, OP, opBNB and Polygon. On July 7, 2026 we used our public RPC Inspector Pro to compare Validation Cloud and Infura websockets for the 8 protocols supported by both: #Arbitrum, #Avalanche, #Base, #BSC, #Ethereum, #OP, #opBNB and #Polygon. In each case we did 3 runs from 30 locations in parallel on 6 continents to measure which service delivers newHeads (blocks) and newPendingTransactions sooner. Btw, Infura does not support newPendingTransactions on BSC, OP and Ethereum but Validation Could does, so we were able to compare newPendingTransactions only on Polygon. In total, we did 27 runs to compare Validation Cloud websockets with Infura side-by-side. Since all messages should be delivered to all locations (regions), the “winner” of each block-region or transaction-region is the is the websocket that was the 1st to see it at that location (e.g. Tokyo, London, Frankfurt, Sydney, Montreal etc.) Arbitrum winner for newHeads was Validation Cloud with 11,405 to 1,096 msg arrivals Base winner for newHeads was Validation Cloud with 952 to 663 msg arrivals BSC  winner for newHeads was Validation Cloud  with 5,857 to 1,047 msg arrivals OP winner for newHeads was Validation Cloud with 970 to 48 msg arrivals opBNB winner for newHeads was Validation Cloud 12,042 to 56 msg arrivals Polygon winner for newHeads was Validation Cloud with 1,731 to  278 msg arrivals Polygon winner for newPendingTransactions was Validation Cloud with 13,683 to 324 msg arrivals On the other hand Infura did well in newHeads on Avalanche with 2,001 : 955 arrivals and on Ethereum with 748 : 239.

The intern went above & beyond for this one.

@tatum_io can also be a competitive choice for your #RPC provider on #Arbitrum, #Base, #BNBChain, #Monad, #HyperEVM and #Unichain. Recently, we compared Tatum RPC latency with @infura_io from 30 global locations, and Tatum won 907 of 1,080 comparisons. We used our public RPC Inspector Pro to launch parallel probes in 30 locations across 6 continents. Each probe sent chained pairs of RPC requests, where the hash from the preceding eth_getBlockByNumber was used in the following eth_getLogs. We set 1.1s start-to-start throttling to avoid hitting limits on paid provider accounts. For each network and provider, we measured 60 method-location combinations per run, repeated 3 times. Tatum won 164/180 comparisons on Unichain, 161/180 on BNB Smart Chain, 153/180 on Base, 149/180 on Monad, 148/180 on HyperEVM, and 132/180 on Arbitrum, measured by p95 latency for eth_getBlockByNumber and eth_getLogs.
