What is the best BSC RPC provider?

Rather than searching for a single best provider, pick based on services each one can provide for your application. BNB Chain's own developer docs list several recommended third-party RPC providers, including NodeReal, GetBlock, Ankr, Chainstack, QuickNode, dRPC, Alchemy, and others.

Is there a free BSC RPC endpoint?

Yes. The official BNB Chain endpoints are free but capped at 10,000 requests per 5 minutes, with eth_getLogs disabled on mainnet. Provider free tiers go further: GetBlock (50K CU a day), Chainstack (3M requests a month), Alchemy (30M CU), dRPC (210M CU), and Ankr (200M credits).

How much does a BSC RPC endpoint cost?

Entry paid plans start at $49 a month at GetBlock, QuickNode, and Chainstack. Per-call prices range from about $2.45 to $20 per million standard calls. Flat-rate plans start at $149 (Chainstack) and $150 (GetBlock) a month, and dedicated BSC nodes start at $1,200 a month based on publicly available pricing.

How do I protect BSC transactions from MEV?

Send them through a private RPC instead of the public mempool. GetBlock, QuickNode, Chainstack, dRPC, and many other providers include built-in MEV protection on every plan.

What is the fastest BSC RPC provider?

It depends on where your servers are. Latency differs by region, so compare p95 latency and block freshness from your own location with the free tools in the benchmark section above.
