How to Benchmark Ethereum RPC for Trading Bots
Measure Ethereum RPC where a trading bot depends on it: head arrival, consistent state reads, simulation, burst capacity and submission. Includes a read-only benchmark.

Alchemy vs Infura vs QuickNode: Free Tier RPC Latency Against a Co-located Node
Free-tier Alchemy, Infura and QuickNode endpoints measured against six keyless ones and against a co-located node: request latency, burst ceilings, and which feed learns about a new block first.
Ethereum RPC Latency in 2026: IPC vs WebSocket vs Remote Providers, Measured
A measured breakdown of Ethereum JSON-RPC latency: nine public endpoints at p50 and p99, the network floor separated from provider overhead, and the microsecond cost of local transports.
What Is a MEV Searcher? Infrastructure, Latency, and Whether You Need Your Own Node
What a MEV searcher does, the infrastructure stack behind one, the latency budget, and whether you need to run your own Ethereum node to compete.
What Is ePBS? Ethereum's Enshrined Proposer-Builder Separation (EIP-7732), Explained
How EIP-7732 changes Ethereum block building: payload commitments, builder payments, deferred execution and what searchers should measure before Glamsterdam.
Why MEV Is a Latency Game: The Case for Co-located Ethereum Nodes
MEV is won and lost on latency. Where the milliseconds go between the mempool and your transaction, and why co-located node access closes the gap.
