GetBlock Sets New Benchmark for Solana RPC Performance Across Asia

Asia’s role in the global Web3 ecosystem has been expanding steadily, and recent infrastructure performance data suggests that GetBlock is becoming an increasingly important player in the region. In February 2026, the company announced new benchmarking outcomes, which show the company is presently providing the quickest average response times to Solana RPC providers in a number of Asian markets, marking a larger shift in the focus of blockchain infrastructure demand.

Independent Data Confirms Latency Lead

GetBlock has Solana RPC endpoints that have an average response time of 147 milliseconds in Asia, according to the third-party benchmarks published by CompareNodes. The other providers measured in the analysis of the same showed significantly higher latency, varying between 196 milliseconds and almost 400 milliseconds, depending on the location.

This distinction is even more evident in South Asia and the Middle East. In places like Bahrain, the UAE, Mumbai, and Hyderabad, the infrastructure provided by GetBlock is always maintained at a less than 140-millisecond level. These are areas that have previously been problematic in accessing low-latency blockchain, and thus the findings are interesting in the context of a wider network constraint.

From Strategic Bet to Regional Stronghold

The existing presence of GetBlock in Asia is closely linked to its choice to develop a specific cluster in Singapore by the middle of 2025. The relocation was, at the time, an indication of the belief that developer activity and usage rate of Asia on-chain was going to keep increasing at a higher rate compared to other regions. Less than one year later, existing data indicate that such an assumption has been defined to a great extent.

Internal estimates of late 2025 indicate that the Asian clients constitute a little over half of the total number of users of the company, whilst contributing 68 percent of the revenue generated by the company. This disparity is an indication of a greater density of commercial and professional applications, trading-oriented applications, and platforms with intensive data usage that are more likely to demand increased infrastructure reliability and data speed.

Hong Kong and Japan Drive New Growth

New subscription statistics also show the way the demand is spread over the region. Hong Kong is the most significant contributor to recent additions, with 11 percent of new subscriptions, although this is a small population. Japan comes in with 9 percent, with Singapore contributing 6 percent.

These are not the only places where growth is attained. Together, the four countries of mainland China, Thailand, Taiwan, Malaysia, and Indonesia represent close to half of all new subscriptions, indicating that the adoption is not just being observed in already established financial capitals but also in the emerging Web3 markets of Southeast and East Asia.

A Different Infrastructure Philosophy

GetBlock has been more customized in the architecture of its infrastructure as opposed to depending on regular deployments of its nodes. The company pays attention to setting its nodes to the technical specifics of a separate blockchain, which contributes to the performance outcomes, as recent benchmarks bring into the limelight.

GetBlock focuses on Solana, Binance Smart Chain, and the XRP Ledger, and has Solana, BDN, and Clio nodes within its Singapore cluster. These settings will be aimed at enhancing efficiency and consistency by being more closely related to the architecture of each network instead of having a standard setup across all chains.

Proprietary Tools for Latency-Sensitive Use Cases

In November 2025, GetBlock published a collection of proprietary tools to serve the needs of users, in which the speed of execution and access to data are the most important. StreamFirst offers more visibility of on-chain changes in advance, whereas LandFirst will assist in verifying transactions faster. IndexFirst, in its turn, provides indexed access to archival blockchain data, with a flexible SDK that enables teams to create their own data pipelines.

Trading firms and decentralized applications working in competitive settings have found interest in these tools, for which even minor latency or data retrieval time improvements can have effects.

Promotional Push During Lunar New Year

In addition to its infrastructure growth, GetBlock has been conducting a Lunar New Year offer that gives its Pro plan a 50 percent discount until the middle of February. The offer will lower the price to $249 a month and will offer greater throughput costs as well as greater compute power and accessibility to archival data in several regions. Those customers who would like to use dedicated nodes are also offered a Shared Node Starter plan without any extra charge.

The promotion is seen to stimulate developers to test the performance of the platform in a real-world environment and at a time when there is increased activity in the markets of Asia.

What Comes Next

Although the recent benchmarking statistics indicate that GetBlock is now a leader in terms of latency in Asia, the situation on the market is dynamic. Infrastructure providers are still investing a lot in expanding the regions, and performance discrepancies can be reduced as the networks grow and routing becomes better.

What becomes even more apparent, though, is the role of Asia in the future of the Web3 infrastructure. As a share of users, revenues, and developer activity grow within the region, latency, reliability, and access to data competition in Asian markets will tend to affect the development of the global blockchain infrastructure market in the coming years.
