GetBlock has established itself as the leading provider of Remote Procedure Call (RPC) services for Solana in Asia, achieving response times up to 62% faster than its competitors. This significant performance milestone is highlighted in recent benchmarking data released in February 2026 by CompareNodes. The company’s Singapore cluster, launched in mid-2025, has proven to be a strategic move as the region rapidly evolves into a hub for Web3 development.
According to the data, GetBlock now offers the fastest average response time across Asian markets for Solana RPC nodes, recording an impressive 147 milliseconds. Competitors, including established players such as Blockdaemon and newer entrants like dRPC and Validation Cloud, noted response times ranging from 196ms to 391ms. This performance advantage is particularly evident in the Middle East and South Asia, where GetBlock consistently maintains sub-140ms latency in key markets, including Bahrain, the UAE, Mumbai, and Hyderabad.
Market Dynamics and Revenue Insights
The landscape of Asian blockchain infrastructure remains competitive and fragmented. Despite this, GetBlock’s recent performance metrics suggest a meaningful technical lead. The company operates data centers in Singapore that support over 100 blockchains, positioning itself to capitalize on a lucrative market.
Internal data from December 2025 indicates that Asian customers now account for over half of GetBlock’s user base, generating 68% of the company’s total revenue. Notably, Hong Kong represents 11% of new subscriptions, while Japan contributes 9% and Singapore 6%. Other rapidly growing markets include Mainland China, Thailand, Taiwan, Malaysia, and Indonesia, which together account for 45% of new subscriptions.
GetBlock differentiates itself from competitors by focusing on specialized performance optimizations rather than merely deploying standard node infrastructure. Its Singapore cluster features gRPC-enabled RPC nodes for Solana, BDN-enabled nodes for Binance Smart Chain, and Clio-enabled nodes for XRP Ledger. These configurations are designed to maximize performance tailored to each blockchain’s architecture.
Innovations and Promotional Strategies
In November 2025, GetBlock introduced three proprietary technologies aimed at enhancing trading applications. StreamFirst allows users to access on-chain updates ahead of other network participants. LandFirst facilitates accelerated transaction landing, while IndexFirst offers an indexed archival data solution with a flexible SDK for building custom ETL pipelines.
To further leverage its market position, GetBlock is currently running a promotional campaign for the Lunar New Year, offering a 50% discount on its Pro plan for new customers and upgrades. This initiative reduces the monthly cost from $499 to $249 until February 17, 2026. The package includes 500 RPS throughput, 600 million compute units, and access to archival data across its multi-region infrastructure.
Vasily Rudomanov, CEO of GetBlock, expressed confidence in the company’s recent achievements and promotional strategies, stating, “The promotional pricing reflects GetBlock’s belief that once developers experience the performance difference, they will remain on the platform at full price.” This approach, common among infrastructure providers, hinges on delivering technology that meets its promises.
The benchmarks suggest that GetBlock possesses the necessary metrics to support its claims. Whether this technical edge translates into sustained market leadership will depend on how quickly competitors can address the performance gap and whether Asian developers continue to prioritize latency over factors such as price or feature set. As the Asian Web3 infrastructure market continues to mature, GetBlock’s revenue concentration indicates it may play a pivotal role in shaping the competitive dynamics of the entire industry.
