Indexation Latency Comparison

We measure indexation latency — the time between when a trade occurs on-chain and when the aggregator pushes the event via WebSocket.

​
How We Measure

The benchmark monitors WebSocket feeds from each aggregator and calculates latency by comparing:
  1. Trade timestamp — When the trade occurred on-chain (from the event)
  2. Receive timestamp — When the aggregator pushed the event via WebSocket
Latency = Receive Time - On-chain Event Time

​
Methodology

  • Real-time monitoring via WebSocket connections
  • Same trades compared across all aggregators
  • Multiple chains tested simultaneously
  • Prometheus metrics for accurate measurement
  • Grafana dashboards for visualization

Why Latency Matters

For crypto trading applications, every millisecond counts:

Trading Bots

Faster data = better entry/exit points. A 1-second delay can mean missing a pump or getting rugged.

Arbitrage

Cross-DEX arbitrage requires sub-second latency to capture opportunities before they disappear.

Risk Management

Real-time position monitoring needs instant updates to trigger stop-losses and alerts.

Analytics

Live dashboards and charts require low latency for accurate, real-time visualization.
