The fastest private provider, a fixed benchmark

The fastest private provider's feed ended on 2026-10-29. The page now shows that provider as a fixed benchmark from its record. The typical provider is the one live comparator.

Guides, and the continuous record

Three guides on Robinhood Chain: MEV, why the chain has no public mempool, and how the sequencer orders transactions. /latency shows FirstLight's lead per block over the fastest private provider and over a typical provider, live, with the figures of each day from a record of every block. A Guides tab and a /guides hub group them.

The MEV P&L board is retired. Its old address now leads to the home page.
