GetBlock delivers 1.5–2x lower latency across all major chains and regions tested. GetBlock demonstrates consistently faster performance across Solana, Base, and BSC in all tested regions. With region-specific endpoint deployment (EU, US, Asia), developers can optimize latency for their target users.

GetBlock commits to response times at every tier — including free — with Premium Support available as an add-on for any customer. dRPC offers no published SLAs for standard paid users: free tier support is community-only (Discord), and 24/7 dedicated support requires an enterprise NodeHaus or NodeCraft engagement.
Advantages
Five decisive reasons GetBlock delivers better infrastructure value at every tier.
GetBlock offers 20% more blockchain networks compared to dRPC, including Sui — one of the fastest-growing L1 networks. dRPC does not support Sui at all, forcing Sui developers to add a second provider.
Support for over 1,000+ requests per second (RPS) even for Shared RPC access without throttling or artificial rate limits. GetBlock's limits are fixed per tier with SLA backing.
GetBlock excels in latency benchmarks for Solana (EU, Middle East) and BSC (North America, South America). Verified lowest latency of 6ms vs dRPC's 16ms — 1.5–2x faster across all major chains and regions tested.
Sub-5min resolution time for the majority of requests. Even GetBlock's free plan includes guaranteed 24-hour response times. dRPC provides meaningful support only on enterprise plans.
RPC node for high-frequency trading, same-slot transaction landing solution, archive data indexer and ultra-fast streams. GetBlock's Solana toolkit (LandFirst, TradeFirst, IndexFirst, StreamFirst) goes deeper than anything dRPC offers.
// GetBlock Solana RPC — sub-10ms latency
const response = await fetch(
"https://go.getblock.io/{your-token}",
{
method: "POST",
headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" },
body: JSON.stringify({
jsonrpc: "2.0",
id: 1,
method: "getBalance",
params: ["<wallet-address>"]
})
}
);
// Response in 6ms (verified, CompareNodes)
// { "result": { "value": 1000000000 } }Verdict
Core Advantage
For teams shipping production apps, where latency, uptime guarantees, and fast support are non-negotiable, GetBlock is the stronger dRPC alternative with support for 130+ blockchains and independently verified lower latency across major chains. GetBlock's ecosystem stack (LandFirst, TradeFirst, StreamFirst, indexed archive) goes deeper than anything dRPC offers on any chain.
Pricing & Infrastructure
GetBlock's tiered transparent pricing eliminates the budget uncertainty in dRPC's Pay-as-you-go model. Faster support response times and configurable node deployments in Frankfurt, New York, and Singapore give developers more control and reliability.
When dRPC makes sense
dRPC is a solid provider in its own right, with genuinely competitive pricing, unique open-source offerings for teams that want to self-host, and multi-provider routing. For cost-conscious teams or those who value decentralized architecture, it's a reasonable choice.
The Bottom Line
When production demands verified latency, guaranteed SLAs, deep chain-specific tooling, and end-to-end infrastructure control, GetBlock is where serious builders end up.
