MegaETH Official RPC vs Thirdweb RPC – Testnet Latency I wanted to pull direct data from the MegaEth without having to run any infra and was looking for the fastest way to do this. I used "" to run a simple benchmark to see how MegaETH’s official RPC compares to a third-party RPC (Thirdweb). The goal was to check which one would pull fresh data from the explorer faster from different parts of the world. The test used the `eth_blockNumber` and the `eth_getBalance` RPC call on MegaETH testnet. It hits 27 AWS regions across 6 continents, sending requests one after the other with a one second gap. It tracked average latency, failures, 429 errors, successful requests, and total request duration. Here are the results All results showed that the official MegaETH RPC was faster in all six continents and all 27 regions. Latency for MegaETH ranged from about 126 ms to 238 ms according to this test. For Thirdweb latency ranged from about 170 ms to 381 ms. Both had low failure rates but MegaETH had slightly fewer, and the total request duration was consistently lower for MegaETH. For context, typically networks have at least a few regions where a third-party RPC is faster. Avalanche, Optimism, and Ethereum all have examples of this in public benchmarks. See the - Avalanche C-Chain results - Optimism results - Ethereum results MegaETH beating Thirdweb everywhere is not typical. My thesis on why MegaETH Official rpc comes out top is that the network is well tuned architecturally , and uses a single sequencer at a time. I invite @NamikMuduroglu @yangl1996 @0xSami_M to share their thoughts This is testnet so the numbers could shift on mainnet when traffic is heavier. However for now, if you need the fastest and most reliable way to pull data from the MegaETH explorer, the official RPC is the clear choice. NB: I am not an expert, tis is just theoretical and may not be 100% accurate as the data tested were lightweight calls, also these results were snapshotted, results may vary if larger data is involved at different times, lastly i used a public thirdweb rpc, there could be other faster ones.
