Which blockchain node Provider has the fastest endpoint for Moonbeam?
Understanding the Role of Blockchain Node Providers
Blockchain node providers play a critical role in the blockchain ecosystem. In order to maintain the security and reliability of the network, developers need to carefully choose a node provider that is fast, reliable, and scalable. This is often referred to as the “RPC trilemma,” which states that it’s impossible to simultaneously achieve all three of these characteristics.
As a result, developers have to carefully consider their options when selecting a node provider, and this is where CompareNodes can help. By providing independent and transparent performance measurements, we empower developers to make informed decisions and select the best node provider for their needs. At CompareNodes we cover 82 data and infrastructure companies supporting 248 blockchain protocols and their 350 networks. As of May 2023, there are 16 blockchain node providers in the Moonbeam ecosystem, offering native RPC access to the Mainnet, the Moonbase Alpha testnet, or both.

But how do you pick the best-performing blockchain node provider for Moonbeam Network?
Use Global Node Comparison App and find out in 3 simple steps (and 30 seconds.)
- Select endpoints: Start by selecting 2 blockchain node providers that offer public, free, or paid endpoints for the Moonbeam chain that are compatible.
- Measure performance: Once you have selected your endpoints, the next step is for the App to measure the latency across 27 regions globally. CompareNodes is compatible with over 100 networks, including Moonbeam, Ethereum, Bitcoin, and Polkadot, making it a versatile tool for comparing node performance across multiple networks.
- Compare results: Once we measured the performance of each endpoint, the final step is to compare the results. This can help you make an informed decision about which blockchain node provider to choose for Moonbeam based on their performance in different regions.
Evaluate the results
In this particular case, the comparison has shown the following:
– Ankr has the fastest nodes on Moonbeam Mainnet (measured on 2023-05-17, Results link)
– Blast API has the fastest nodes on Moonbase Alpha (measured on 2023-05-17, Results link)
By the time you will be reading this, comparison results might change so please do compare endpoints on your own.
