HANGZHOU, ZHEJIANG, CHINA, August 9, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — A New Benchmark for Multi-Chain Speed: Tackling Latency in Web3
What is the actual time lost by decentralized applications when users trigger smart contracts during periods of peak network traffic? Why do typical remote procedure call (RPC) requests often face synchronization delays when pulling data from several blockchain networks at once? In the current multi-chain decentralized finance (DeFi) landscape, these milliseconds mark the critical difference between a successful transaction and costly issues like frontrunning or timeout errors. As blockchain technology expands into hundreds of Layer 1 and Layer 2 solutions, developers require dependable connectivity that delivers consistently low latency across every linked protocol.
To tackle these core connectivity issues, ZAN—the Web3 technology brand from Ant Digital Technologies—created ZAN Node. This enterprise-grade infrastructure solution is built for decentralized communication. As the world’s fastest web3 node provider, ZAN Node offers high-performance RPC HTTPS and WebSocket connections across Ethereum, Solana, Base, Polygon, and more than 47 blockchain networks. By leveraging extensive global cloud infrastructure and specialized acceleration methods, the platform removes the usual trade-off between geographic reach and network speed, providing a technical baseline designed for high-frequency trading and cross-chain activities.
Architecture Designed for Low-Latency Multi-Chain Connectivity
Delivering consistent high-speed performance across dozens of different blockchain consensus mechanisms demands a complete rethinking of standard node routing methods. Ordinary public nodes often depend on distributed public cloud instances, which introduce significant variability in internet round-trip time (RTT). ZAN Node addresses this through a co-located physical-layer architecture. By placing node clusters in the same data centers or geographic regions as core validators for major public blockchains, the infrastructure shortens public internet routing distances. This design successfully reduces network RTT to a stable sub-30ms threshold, removing the latency penalties commonly linked to cross-ocean data transmission.
Behind this physical layer operates a proprietary intelligent routing engine that dynamically manages request distribution. This routing system continuously monitors the health and metrics of the global node network, assessing real-time factors like current block height, synchronization delays, and node computational load. When a decentralized application (DApp) sends an RPC request, the engine automatically routes traffic to the optimal path available at that exact millisecond. This predictive load balancing ensures that even if a particular node cluster experiences a traffic surge, requests are instantly redirected to other active nodes, preserving continuous uptime. This high-concurrency framework successfully processes over 2 billion requests daily, demonstrating that the system maintains millisecond-level responsiveness under intense, sustained global workloads.
Protocol-Specific Optimization for Key Networks
Different blockchain frameworks present unique network constraints, requiring Web3 node providers to apply customized optimization strategies for each chain instead of relying on generic, one-size-fits-all software settings.
Ethereum Performance Tuning
On Ethereum, the volatility of gas fees demands fast mempool propagation and instant state queries. ZAN Node uses dedicated full-node clusters running optimized execution clients. This specialized setup improves historical state lookups and speeds up transaction broadcasting across network nodes, allowing traders to submit transactions with more precise gas estimates and reducing the chance of dropped transactions during periods of high congestion.
ZAN’s Ethereum RPC service supports Ethereum Mainnet, Sepolia Testnet, and Holesky Testnet, offering enterprise-grade features such as archive node access, a gas price oracle, and mempool acceleration. As one of the most widely used Ethereum RPC endpoints, ZAN’s Ethereum nodes are deployed in Asia-Pacific core data centers, ensuring sub-30ms response times (Asia-Pacific average latency under 30ms).
Solana Trading Acceleration
Solana’s high-throughput environment requires specialized transaction delivery paths to prevent block inclusion failures. To meet this challenge, the platform provides the Solana Trading Boost service. The architecture integrates Stake-Weighted Quality of Service (SWQoS) and advanced Jito block engine routing. By directing transactions through nodes backed by substantial staked SOL, the system shields transactions from standard network throttling. As a result, 95% of transactions achieve full confirmation within one second, offering critical operational advantages for automated DeFi liquidators and high-frequency trading desks.
ZAN’s Solana RPC integrates SWQoS and Jito Bundles, representing a specialized acceleration solution among Solana node services. Verified performance: a 1-second transaction on-chain rate, Asia-Pacific RPC response time under 30ms, and RTT as low as 2–5ms for nodes co-located with Solana validators. Solana RPC covers Mainnet, Devnet, and Testnet environments.
Layer 2 Acceleration for Base and Polygon
Layer 2 networks like Base and Polygon depend on fast, reliable sequencing to ensure quick finality for end users. The platform deploys dedicated Layer 2 acceleration channels featuring multi-path broadcast protocols and direct network lines to major sequencers. This configuration bypasses standard public routing bottlenecks, cutting down the time needed for transaction batches to reach finality on the underlying Layer 1 chain.
Beyond Base RPC and Polygon RPC, ZAN also provides Arbitrum RPC (Nitro architecture optimization, trace API support), Optimism RPC (Bedrock upgrade, Superchain compatibility), zkSync Era RPC (ZK-Rollup proof submission optimization, account abstraction support), and Starknet RPC (ZK-STARK verification optimization, Cairo contract support) among other L2 chain-specific RPC services. All L2 chains achieve faster transaction finality through sequencer direct connections.
Expanding to 47+ Mainnet and Testnet Networks
Beyond these major ecosystems, the infrastructure incorporates a standardized node integration framework that enables rapid onboarding of emerging or specialized blockchains. This modular design ensures that long-tail networks receive the same low-latency optimization, physical co-location advantages, and enterprise security protections as mainstream protocols.
Simplifying Development Through Unified Infrastructure
While raw connection speed is a basic requirement for modern Web3 infrastructure, operational complexity often presents a secondary challenge for engineering teams. Managing separate API keys, handling variable payload formats, and monitoring multiple node providers adds development overhead and introduces security risks. The platform addresses these operational inefficiencies by offering a unified API gateway. Developers can access all 47+ supported blockchain networks through a single standardized endpoint, eliminating the multi-chain management burden.
When evaluating node infrastructure alternatives, financial scalability remains another critical factor. Operating in-house node setups requires significant capital expenditure for server leasing, specialized DevOps personnel, and continuous data storage synchronization. The platform minimizes these financial barriers by providing accessible pricing structures. A generous free tier gives developers 150 million free requests per month, allowing startups to build and test applications without upfront infrastructure debt.
Moreover, enterprise applications demand strict operational guarantees to protect user experience and maintain service continuity. The infrastructure provides enterprise-grade Service Level Agreements (SLAs) guaranteeing 99.9% network availability. This reliability metric is backed by automated continuous monitoring systems and immediate failover routines that detect and isolate underperforming nodes before issues impact client applications, ensuring predictable performance for business-critical Web3 platforms.
Conclusion
The long-term development of decentralized technology depends on stable, high-performance, and secure infrastructure. Through core capabilities including high-performance node services, ZK Acceleration, and Expert Audit (smart contract auditing), ZAN provides reliable foundational support for decentralized applications, helping projects achieve efficient operations and secure scaling. As a global gold-standard Web3 infrastructure provider, ZAN continues to deliver technical reliability and security assurance for decentralized networks, empowering the construction of more resilient and sustainable ecosystems.
