Remote Procedure Call (RPC) performance is critical for Web3 applications. Every millisecond of latency impacts user experience and trading P&L.

Performance Metrics That Matter

When evaluating RPC providers, focus on:

  • Response time (p50, p95, p99)
  • Throughput and rate limits
  • Geographic distribution
  • Error rates

Our Architecture

Geren's performance advantage comes from a three-tier read path: in-memory hot cache, regional warm cache, and direct-from-node cold path. Most requests resolve in the first tier.
