# Benchmarks

Head-to-head benchmarks against leading binary decoded stream providers

All benchmarks run via [geyserbench](https://github.com/shrederxyz/geyserbench) — the standard open-source tool for measuring shred-level data delivery latency on Solana.

## Methodology

* **100,000 transactions** per region, per test
* Same hardware class, same network conditions
* Same protocol (gRPC), same format (binary decoded transactions)
* Head-to-head against the leading competitor binary stream

## FRA Region

```
Finished test results
-----------------------------------------
Raiden Pulse FRA:   Win rate 99.38%, p50 0.00ms (fastest)
Competitor FRA:     Win rate 0.62%,  p50 1.25ms

Detailed test results
-----------------------------------------
┌────────────────────┬─────────┬────────┬────────┬────────┐
│ Endpoint           │ First % │ P50 ms │ P95 ms │ P99 ms │
├────────────────────┼─────────┼────────┼────────┼────────┤
│ Raiden Pulse FRA   │ 99.38   │ 0.00   │ 0.00   │ 0.00   │
│ Competitor FRA     │ 0.62    │ 1.25   │ 3.69   │ 6.76   │
└────────────────────┴─────────┴────────┴────────┴────────┘
```

## NYC Region

```
Finished test results
-----------------------------------------
Raiden Pulse NYC:   Win rate 96.82%, p50 0.00ms (fastest)
Competitor NYC:     Win rate 3.18%,  p50 0.59ms

Detailed test results
-----------------------------------------
┌────────────────────┬─────────┬────────┬────────┬────────┐
│ Endpoint           │ First % │ P50 ms │ P95 ms │ P99 ms │
├────────────────────┼─────────┼────────┼────────┼────────┤
│ Raiden Pulse NYC   │ 96.82   │ 0.00   │ 0.00   │ 0.46   │
│ Competitor NYC     │ 3.18    │ 0.59   │ 1.94   │ 2.80   │
└────────────────────┴─────────┴────────┴────────┴────────┘
```

## Key Takeaways

* **p50 is 0.00ms** — majority of transactions decoded and delivered within microseconds
* **>96% first-place** — across 200,000 sampled transactions, Pulse delivers first vs leading competitor

## Reproduce

Anyone can reproduce the benchmark independently using [geyserbench](https://github.com/shrederxyz/geyserbench).

During **3-hour free trial**, test Pulse against your existing provider on your own infrastructure. If we don't win, nothing lost.
