methodology:
- "Providers measured, one row per (provider, chain), all keyless and live-verified 2026-07-12. Ethereum: Flashbots Protect (rpc.flashbots.net), MEV Blocker (rpc.mevblocker.io), Blink formerly Merkle (ethereum.blinklabs.xyz), bloXroute Protect (eth-protect.rpc.blxrbdn.com), BlockSec Anti-MEV (eth.rpc.blocksec.com). Base: Blink (base.merkle.io) alone, no other MEV-protect gateway exposes a keyless Base endpoint today. BSC: Blink (bsc.merkle.io), bloXroute Protect (bsc.rpc.blxrbdn.com), 48 Club Privacy RPC (rpc.48.club), PancakeSwap MEV Guard (bscrpc.pancakeswap.finance, powered by 48 Club), BlockSec (bsc.rpc.blocksec.com)."
- "Exclusions: SecureRPC probed dead 2026-07-10. Alchemy MEV Protect and GetBlock protected endpoints are key-gated. base.rpc.blxrbdn.com is live but not documented as Protect, so it is not listed as an MEV gateway. Blink's Ethereum row uses the blinklabs.xyz host because the legacy eth.merkle.io alias rate-limits harder; on Base and BSC the merkle.io hosts are Blink's only keyless surface (base/bsc.blinklabs.xyz do not resolve as of 2026-07-12)."
- "Providers measured, one row per (provider, chain), all keyless and live-verified 2026-07-12. Ethereum cohort: Flashbots Protect (rpc.flashbots.net), MEV Blocker (rpc.mevblocker.io), Blink formerly Merkle (ethereum.blinklabs.xyz), bloXroute Protect (eth-protect.rpc.blxrbdn.com), BlockSec Anti-MEV (eth.rpc.blocksec.com)."
- "Base cohort: Blink (base.merkle.io) alone. No other MEV-protect gateway exposes a keyless Base endpoint today; Flashbots and MEV Blocker are Ethereum-only by design and base.rpc.blxrbdn.com is plain RPC, not documented as Protect."
- "BSC cohort: Blink (bsc.merkle.io), bloXroute Protect (bsc.rpc.blxrbdn.com), 48 Club Privacy RPC (rpc.48.club), PancakeSwap MEV Guard (bscrpc.pancakeswap.finance, powered by 48 Club), BlockSec (bsc.rpc.blocksec.com)."

- "Chain dimension: the tabs pin every query to one chain. The All chains headline averages each provider over the chains it actually serves, the same convention as the rpc-capabilities cluster; the Chains covered panel shows the multi-chain footprint explicitly."
- "Method set: eth_chainId, eth_blockNumber, eth_gasPrice, eth_getBalance, eth_call (USDC balanceOf), eth_estimateGas, eth_feeHistory. One request per method per tick, 1.5s apart, rotating request ids against body-keyed edge caches."
- "Cadence: every 60 seconds per region (us-east, eu-west, sgp), 7 requests per gateway per tick, rows probed in parallel so each gateway still sees one request per 1.5s. Deliberately polite: these gateways rate-ban aggressive callers."
