GetBlock has emerged as the clear performance leader in Asia’s blockchain infrastructure market, delivering response times up to 62% faster than competitors while capturing the majority of the region’s Web3 developer revenue.
When GetBlock, a top-tier RPC node provider and Web3 infrastructure platform, launched its Singapore cluster in mid-2025, the company made a calculated bet that Asia would become the epicenter of Web3 development. Nine months later, that gamble appears to have paid off spectacularly.
Web3 infrastructure innovator GetBlock hits new milestone, becomes fastest RPC node provider in Asia
According to third-party benchmarking data released in February 2026 by CompareNodes, GetBlock now delivers the fastest average response time across Asian regions for Solana RPC nodes, clocking in at 147 milliseconds compared to competitors ranging from 196ms to 391ms.
The performance advantage proves most pronounced in the Middle East and South Asia, where GetBlock maintains sub-140ms latency in major markets including Bahrain, UAE, Mumbai, and Hyderabad.
The competitive landscape in Asian blockchain infrastructure remains fragmented, with established players like Blockdaemon and newer entrants like dRPC and Validation Cloud all vying for market share. However, GetBlock’s benchmarking results suggest the company has achieved a meaningful technical advantage, particularly in regions where competitors show inconsistent performance.
The infrastructure provider’s Singapore-based data centers run full and archival nodes for over 100 blockchains, positioning the company to capture what has become a particularly lucrative market.
Asian audiences in focus for GetBlock, Hong Kong leads the way, newest data signals
Internal data from December 2025 reveals that Asian customers now represent just over half of GetBlock’s user base but generate 68% of total revenue, suggesting significantly higher monetization rates than other regions.
The geographic distribution of new users supports this thesis. Hong Kong accounts for 11% of GetBlock’s new subscriptions despite representing a fraction of global population, while Japan contributes 9% and Singapore 6%. Mainland China, Thailand, Taiwan, Malaysia, and Indonesia round out the company’s fastest-growing markets, collectively responsible for 45% of all new subscriptions.
GetBlock’s technical approach differs from competitors through its focus on specialized performance optimizations rather than simply deploying standard node infrastructure.
The Singapore cluster offers gRPC-enabled RPC nodes for Solana, BDN-enabled nodes for Binance Smart Chain, and Clio-enabled nodes for XRP Ledger, configurations designed to extract maximum performance from each blockchain’s specific architecture.
GetBlock introduced three proprietary technologies in November 2025 that target sophisticated trading applications. StreamFirst allows users to observe on-chain updates ahead of other network participants, while LandFirst paves the way for accelerated transaction landing and catching economic opportunity; and IndexFirst offers a powerful indexed archival data solution with a flexible SDK that makes it easy to build custom ETL pipelines on top of historical data and seamlessly integrate them into existing workflows and infrastructure.
These capabilities have attracted trading firms and decentralized applications where microseconds matter.
GetBlock is running a Lunar New Year promo campaign with 50% off on top Shared Node offer
To capitalize on its position during Lunar New Year, GetBlock is offering its Pro plan at 50% off for new customers and upgrades, reducing the monthly cost from $499 to $249 through February 17.
The package includes 500 RPS throughput, 600 million compute units, and access to archival data across the company’s multi-region infrastructure.
Also, customers purchasing dedicated nodes receive a complimentary Shared Node Starter plan.
Vasily Rudomanov, CEO of GetBlock, shares his views on recent accomplishments and the Lunar New Year initiative:
“GetBlock hitting top latency and usage milestones globally—and in Asia especially—is the result of years of hard work, relentless experimentation, and decades of combined expertise behind our team. We care deeply about the Asian Web3 community, builders, investors, and researchers, and we’re always ready to offer a customized setup with the best possible performance. As such, the 2026 Lunar New Year initiative is an excellent opportunity to try GetBlock’s services for the first time or to upgrade your infrastructure setup.”
The promotional pricing reflects GetBlock’s confidence that once developers experience the performance difference, they will remain on the platform at full price. It’s a strategy common among infrastructure providers but one that only works if the underlying technology delivers on its promises.
For now, at least, the benchmarking data suggests GetBlock has the numbers to back up its claims. Whether that technical advantage translates into sustained market leadership will depend on how quickly competitors can close the performance gap and whether Asian developers continue prioritizing latency over other factors like price or feature breadth.
The Asian Web3 infrastructure market is still in its early stages, but the revenue concentration GetBlock has achieved suggests this region may define the competitive dynamics for the entire industry.
