# Benchmarks
> Real-time latency benchmarks comparing Mobula against other crypto data aggregators. See how Mobula delivers the fastest on-chain data.
Mobula is built for speed. We continuously benchmark our infrastructure against other crypto data aggregators to ensure we deliver the fastest, most reliable data.
**Live Results**: View real-time benchmarks at [openchainbench.com](https://openchainbench.com)
**Open Source**: The benchmark suite is fully open source at [github.com/ChainBench/OpenChainBench](https://github.com/ChainBench/OpenChainBench)

## What We Measure
We track multiple metrics to provide a comprehensive view of aggregator performance:
| Benchmark | Description |
| ------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Transaction Coverage** | Unique transaction hashes captured per token (the ground truth) |
| **Pool Discovery** | Time between on-chain token deployment and aggregator detection |
| **Head Lag** | Delay between latest blockchain block and aggregator sync |
| **REST API Latency** | Response time for REST API endpoints |
| **Quote API Latency** | Response time for swap quote endpoints (vs DEX aggregators) |
| **Metadata Coverage** | Percentage of tokens with logo, description, social links |
Latency and coverage metrics are published in real time on [OpenChainBench](https://openchainbench.com), the open benchmark suite we built and open-sourced.

## 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:
| Provider | Solana coverage | EVM coverage | Critical limitation |
| ------------ | --------------- | ------------ | ---------------------------------- |
| **Mobula** | Reference | Complete | None |
| **Bitquery** | -11% to -13% | Perfect | 10k trades hard cap, no pagination |
| **Codex** | -22% to -25% | Perfect | 10 trades/page (60s for 296 TX) |
| **Moralis** | -48% to -57% | Good | Not 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.
| Chain | Token | Mobula | Bitquery | Codex | Moralis |
| ------------ | ------ | ---------- | ------------- | -------------- | ------------- |
| **Solana** | Nana | **166 TX** | 144 TX (-13%) | 125 TX (-25%) | 72 TX (-57%) |
| **Solana** | Oilinu | **107 TX** | 95 TX (-11%) | 83 TX (-22%) | 51 TX (-52%) |
| **Ethereum** | OIL | **26 TX** | 26 TX (0%) | 26 TX (0%) | 26 TX (0%) |
| **Ethereum** | Kimchi | **7 TX** | 7 TX (0%) | 7 TX (0%) | 6 TX (-14%) |
| **BSC** | MILADY | **27 TX** | 27 TX (0%) | 26 TX (-4%) | 25 TX (-7%) |
| **BSC** | ARK | **296 TX** | 296 TX (0%) | 296 TX (0%) | 205 TX (-31%) |
| **Base** | Broke | **41 TX** | 41 TX (0%) | 41 TX (0%) | 39 TX (-5%) |
| **Base** | LANCER | **166 TX** | 166 TX (0%) | 167 TX (+0.6%) | 164 TX (-1%) |

## Live Metrics — Latency & Coverage
These are measured continuously on [OpenChainBench](https://openchainbench.com), the open benchmark suite we built and open-sourced. Every badge below is live and links to the leaderboard, methodology and source.
[](https://openchainbench.com/benchmarks/aggregator-head-lag)
Head lag is the delay between the latest chain block and aggregator sync. Mobula ranks first among the measured aggregators, with a p50 head lag of 0.8 s.
[](https://openchainbench.com/benchmarks/bridge-quote-latency)
Bridge quote latency is the response time for cross-chain quote requests. Mobula ranks first of five providers, at around 210 ms p50.
[](https://openchainbench.com/benchmarks/metadata-coverage)
Metadata coverage is the share of tokens with logo, description and social links. Mobula ranks first among the measured aggregators.
***
## 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

### Latency Benchmark
The benchmark suite is open source. The harness code lives in the [OpenChainBench repository](https://github.com/ChainBench/OpenChainBench), under [harnesses/aggregator-latency-benchmark](https://github.com/ChainBench/OpenChainBench/tree/main/harnesses/aggregator-latency-benchmark). Live results and methodology are published at [openchainbench.com](https://openchainbench.com).
### Transaction Coverage Benchmark
```bash theme={null}
git clone https://github.com/Flotapponnier/token-trade-benchmark-.git
cd token-trade-benchmark-
# Follow README for setup
```

## Why These Metrics Matter
Missing trades = wrong PnL, wrong volume, wrong analytics. On Solana, the gap between providers is 25-57%.
Faster detection of new tokens = first-mover advantage on new launches. Critical for trading bots and snipers.
Lower head lag = more accurate real-time data. Essential for live price feeds and position monitoring.
Faster API responses = better UX. Important for dashboards, portfolio trackers, and trading interfaces.
