GetBlock Now Delivers Asia's Fastest Response Time for Solana RPC, CompareNodes’ February 2026 Data Says

In Asia's rapidly growing Web3 landscape, developers have come to realize one thing: speed is not a technical luxury; it is the most important factor in shaping performance and outcomes.

CompareNodes’ February 2026 data says that GetBlock, a world-class RPC provider and Web3 infrastructure platform, has taken a decisive lead in the Asian RPC-provisioning market. GetBlock now delivers the fastest average Solana RPC at an impressive 147ms (milliseconds). Competing providers recorded 196ms to 391ms, a stark difference wide enough to affect execution outcomes for advanced on-chain use cases.

This data marks a turning point for the RPC provider after its expansion into the Asian market with its Singapore cluster launch. The move was a calculated bet that Asia would become the next hub for Web3 infrastructure and development. Less than a year later, that gamble has paid off and GetBlock now leads the continent’s Web3 landscape in a pivotal area.

Where GetBlock’s Advantage is Evident

GetBlock's performance advantage is evident in the Middle East and South Asia, where it delivers and maintains sub-140 latency across major markets in Mumbai, UAE, Bahrain, and Hyderabad. These are not isolated cases, as the February 2026 data shows stable performance across all regions, highlighting GetBlock's ability to deliver predictable speeds across the continent adequately. Competing RPC providers, on the other hand, deliver unstable speeds, most of the time performing well in one city while struggling in another.

GetBlock's infrastructure guarantees consistency across markets, reducing uncertainty for latency-sensitive operations such as developing trading tools and analytics platforms.

While Asia’s Web3 landscape is fragmented, it remains highly competitive. Renowned providers like Blockdaemon operate alongside new entrants like Validation Cloud and dRPC, all offering equally similar RPC services. However, what distinguishes GetBlock from these providers in the aforementioned data is not merely speed, but quality of execution. The company's Singapore-based data centers run full and archival nodes for 100+ blockchains, enabling it to service an array of ecosystems while optimizing performance at the infrastructure level.

GetBlock's approach resonates deeply with developers who prioritize speed, reliability, and high performance over generalized features.

Asia as a Central Component of GetBlock's Strategy

GetBlock's internal data from December 2025 sheds more light on Asia’s central role in the RPC provider’s overall strategy. At the moment, Asian users make up more than half of GetBlock's customer base, generating a whopping 68% of the company's total revenue.

According to the data, Hong Kong, Japan, and Singapore account for 11%, 9%, and 6% of new subscriptions, respectively. Thailand, Malaysia, Mainland China, Taiwan, and Indonesia make up 45% of new sign-ups, indicating strong demand for GetBlock across both mature and nascent Web3 markets. The numbers also suggest that Asian users are not only quickly adopting the platform, but are opting for the higher value plans, further showing that GetBlock's consistent speed, reliability, and high performance are translating into users’ willingness to pay.

A Focus on Specialized Performance Optimization

Instead of simply deploying standard node infrastructure, GetBlock takes a newfangled approach—focusing on specialized performance optimization tailored to each blockchain’s technical architecture. Its Singapore cluster supports gRPC-enabled Solana RPC nodes, BDN-enabled nodes for Binance Smart Chain, and Clio-enabled nodes for the XRP ledger.

This specialization feature allows GetBlock to extract the highest performance from each blockchain's architecture. The company also introduces a suite of proprietary tools designed mainly for advanced users handling more sophisticated trading applications. They are:

• StreamFirst grants users early visibility into on-chain updates ahead of others
• LandFirst is focused on faster transactions while helping users capture lucrative economic opportunities
• IndexFirst provides indexed archival data with a flexible SDK, allowing developers to build custom ETL pipelines and seamlessly integrate them into existing workflows

GetBlock's Lunar New Year Promo Campaign

GetBlock is offering a limited-time promotion aimed at new customers and upgrades, reducing the monthly subscription cost from $499 to $249 from now until February 17, 2026. The plan will include 500 RPS throughput, 600 million compute units, as well as access to archival data across the company's multi-region infrastructure. Additionally, new customers looking to purchase dedicated node services will receive a complimentary Shared Node Starter plan.

Speaking about the company's recent accomplishments, Vasily Rudomanov, CEO of GetBlock, describes the Lunar New Year promo as an excellent opportunity for new customers to try GetBlock’s services for the first time and for existing users to upgrade their infrastructure setup.

“GetBlock hitting top latency and usage milestones globally—and in Asia especially—is the result of years of hard work, relentless experimentation, and decades of combined expertise behind our team. We care deeply about the Asian Web3 community, builders, investors, and researchers, and we're always ready to offer a customized setup with the best possible performance. As such, the 2026 Lunar New Year initiative is an excellent opportunity to try GetBlock's services for the first time or to upgrade your infrastructure setup.”

GetBlock's promotional pricing is backed by real confidence that once developers experience the difference in quality, they will have no choice but to remain on the platform at the full price.

Latency and Performance Over Cost and Generalized Features? 

Independent benchmark and data support GetBlock’s claims of superior performance in Asia for now. Whether that advantage translates into long-term market dominance depends mainly on how existing competitors can improve their infrastructure and whether developers will continue to prioritize latency and consistent high performance over cost and generalized features.

All internal and external reports indicate that Asia is shaping the next phase of Web3 and blockchain infrastructure, and GetBlock’s recent performance and revenue concentration suggest it intends to be at the center of this emerging shift.
