State of Solana RPC — Q2 2026
Last updated:
TL;DR
An independent, multi-region look at Solana and EVM RPC providers: who supports what, and how they perform on latency and uptime. Performance figures populate as our black-box prober collects samples.
Provider landscape
| Provider | Chains | DAS | p50 24h (ms) | Uptime 24h (%) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chainstack | ethereum, polygon, solana | No | — | — |
| Ankr | ethereum, polygon, solana | No | — | — |
| Blockdaemon | ethereum, polygon, solana | No | — | — |
| OnFinality | ethereum, polygon | No | — | — |
| Tatum | ethereum, polygon, solana | No | — | — |
| NOWNodes | ethereum, polygon, solana | No | — | — |

Key findings
- The provider set spans Solana plus EVM chains; DAS support is a key differentiator for NFT workloads.
- Latency and uptime are measured per region — tail latency (p95/p99) matters as much as p50 for trading workloads.
- Transparent, per-method credit pricing makes cost predictable; see the RPC cost calculator.
Methodology
- A prober in each region runs a fixed set of standard public RPC/DAS/WS calls.
- Each call is measured once (wall-clock); a timeout is a failed sample — retries never heal a measurement.
- Samples roll up into p50/p95/p99 (successful calls only) plus uptime and error rate per window.
- Comparable paid tiers are configured per provider and recorded in the methodology.

FAQ
- How is this measured?
- A black-box prober runs standard public RPC/DAS calls against each provider from multiple regions and records wall-clock latency, success and response size.
- How often is it updated?
- The report is refreshed quarterly; the underlying benchmarks update continuously on /benchmarks.
- Are these vendor-sponsored numbers?
- No — figures are independently measured against public endpoints on comparable paid tiers.
