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
Transaction CoverageUnique transaction hashes captured per token (the ground truth)
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!

Transaction Coverage — Competitive Analysis

Solana is the critical chain. The fragmentation is structural: traders route through aggregators like Jupiter that bundle swaps across multiple DEXs simultaneously. On EVM chains, most volume flows through Uniswap or PancakeSwap directly — every provider indexes those reliably. Beyond coverage, each provider has a structural limitation that matters in production:
ProviderSolana coverageEVM coverageCritical limitation
MobulaReferenceCompleteNone
Bitquery-11% to -13%Perfect10k trades hard cap, no pagination
Codex-22% to -25%Perfect10 trades/page (60s for 296 TX)
Moralis-48% to -57%GoodNot viable on Solana
Bitquery is fastest but truncates silently above 10,000 trades. Codex pagination at 10 results per page makes it unusable at volume. Mobula has no artificial cap.

​
Transaction Hashes — 10 min Windows

We tested Mobula, Moralis, Bitquery, and Codex on 8 tokens across Solana, Ethereum, BSC, and Base using 10-minute windows. The metric: unique transaction hashes — not total trade count, which varies depending on how each provider handles multi-leg swaps.

Methodology

  • Transaction coverage: unique TX hashes in 10-minute windows, same tokens queried simultaneously across all providers
  • Latency: real-time monitoring via WebSocket + REST polling, Prometheus metrics, Grafana visualization
  • Same events compared across all aggregators at the same time
  • Multiple chains tested: Solana, Ethereum, BSC, Base, Arbitrum

Why These Metrics Matter

Transaction Coverage

Missing trades = wrong PnL, wrong volume, wrong analytics. On Solana, the gap between providers is 25-57%.

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.
