Mobula is built for speed. We continuously benchmark our infrastructure against other crypto data aggregators to ensure we deliver the fastest, most reliable data.

​
What We Measure

We track multiple metrics to provide a comprehensive view of aggregator performance:
BenchmarkDescription
Pool DiscoveryTime between on-chain token deployment and aggregator detection
Head LagDelay between latest blockchain block and aggregator sync
REST API LatencyResponse time for REST API endpoints
Quote API LatencyResponse time for swap quote endpoints (vs DEX aggregators)
Metadata CoveragePercentage of tokens with logo, description, social links
All metrics are available in real-time on the Live Dashboard. Check it out for the latest numbers!

​
Pool Discovery Latency

Measures the time between when a new token is deployed on-chain and when the aggregator detects it. This is critical for trading new launches on launchpads. Tracked Launchpads: Pump.fun, Meteora, Four.meme, BAGS, Moonshot Tracked Chains: Solana, BNB Comparison: Mobula vs Codex

​
Head Lag

Measures the delay between the latest block on the blockchain and when the aggregator has processed it. Lower head lag means more real-time data. Tracked Chains: Solana, BNB, Base Comparison: Mobula vs Codex

​
REST API Latency

Measures the response time for fetching token data via REST API endpoints (p50 and p95 percentiles). Comparison: Mobula vs Codex

​
Quote API Latency

Measures the response time for fetching swap quotes. Critical for trading applications that need fast price quotes. Tracked Chains: Solana, Ethereum, Base, BNB, Arbitrum Comparison: Mobula vs Jupiter (Solana), OpenOcean, ParaSwap, Li.Fi, KyberSwap

​
Metadata Coverage

Measures the percentage of tokens that have complete metadata (logo, description, twitter, website). Higher coverage means better token information for your users. Tracked Fields: Logo, Description, Twitter, Website Comparison: Mobula vs Codex vs Jupiter (Solana only)

​
How We Measure

All benchmarks use the same methodology for fair comparison:

​
Pool Discovery

Latency = Detection Time - On-chain Deployment Time

​
Head Lag

Lag = Current Time - Latest Block Timestamp from Aggregator

​
API Latency

Latency = Response Received Time - Request Sent Time

​
Methodology

  • Real-time monitoring via WebSocket connections and REST API polling
  • Same events compared across all aggregators simultaneously
  • Multiple chains tested (Solana, BNB, Base, Arbitrum)
  • Prometheus metrics for accurate measurement
  • Grafana dashboards for visualization

​
Why These Metrics Matter

Pool Discovery

Faster detection of new tokens = first-mover advantage on new launches. Critical for trading bots and snipers.

Head Lag

Lower head lag = more accurate real-time data. Essential for live price feeds and position monitoring.

API Latency

Faster API responses = better UX. Important for dashboards, portfolio trackers, and trading interfaces.

Metadata Coverage

Complete token info = better user experience. Logos and descriptions make your app look professional.
