RPC Benchmark

Compare Forest and Lotus response times with an Ethereum reference node.

How this benchmark works

  • All benchmark requests are sent by our server. Your browser only displays the results.
  • The requests are synthetic, not real user traffic. Select View request for any method to see the latest JSON sent.
  • Every 1m, the server repeats the same set of RPC methods on each node.
  • Methods that need a block use that node's latest block. Methods that need a transaction use the first transaction in that block.
  • The server continuously collects new measurements. Each value shown is the rolling average of the latest 572 measurements, covering 9h 31m.
  • View the benchmark source code and the node configurations for Lotus and Forest.
Waiting for 720 samples to accumulate, current number is 572. Expected to be ready by 10/6/2026, 8:54:22 PM.
