HANGZHOU, ZHEJIANG, CHINA, August 9, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Setting a New Standard for High-Performance Web3 RPC Node Infrastructure

In the world of high-frequency decentralized finance (DeFi) trading, a gap of 200 milliseconds can determine whether an arbitrage succeeds or fails due to slippage. As the Web3 sector shifts toward real-time decentralized applications, relying solely on decentralization is no longer sufficient to meet user demands. Developers require a robust system capable of handling thousands of simultaneous requests without sacrificing speed. At TOKEN2049, ZAN—the Web3 technology brand under Ant Digital Technologies—unveiled a landmark achievement in decentralized infrastructure. By showcasing an average RPC response time of less than 30 milliseconds across the Asia-Pacific region and API throughput three times greater than the industry norm, ZAN established a fresh performance standard for Web3 node services.

Remote Procedure Call nodes act as the main communication link between decentralized applications (dApps) and blockchain networks, managing essential tasks like wallet queries, transaction submissions, and contract interactions. Traditional public RPC services frequently suffer from high latency and inadequate stability during peak traffic, network fluctuations, and regional access variations. ZAN Node boosts the processing efficiency of on-chain data requests through a high-performance node architecture and continuously refined access pathways, delivering more dependable foundational support for Web3 applications.

The Technical Achievements Driving the 30ms Response Frontier

Reaching steady response times below 30 milliseconds involves more than just individual point performance—it requires coordinated optimization across the entire network path, scheduling systems, and data access mechanisms. ZAN Node utilizes the technical expertise of Ant Digital Technologies’ extensive high-performance network, employing customized TCP enhancements, intelligent routing, multi-region deployment strategies, along with caching mechanisms and state management improvements to cut latency during request transmission and processing.

ZAN also consistently enhances service capabilities in key regions, boosting the access experience for users in various locations. Through ongoing refinement of on-chain data access pathways, ZAN Node Service sustains stable performance even under high-concurrency read conditions, offering lower-latency, more cost-effective infrastructure for dApps, trading platforms, and real-time data applications. Currently, nodes in Asia-Pacific and Europe lead globally in both performance and cost efficiency, providing lower-latency, better-priced access options for high-frequency request and large-scale call scenarios.

During TOKEN2049 Singapore, the ZAN team was invited to deliver a Technical Talk at the Solana-hosted Breakpoint 2024 event, sharing perspectives on the infrastructure upgrades needed for widespread Web3 adoption. The presentation highlighted ZAN’s expertise in high-performance node services and how more stable, lower-latency RPC infrastructure supports high-concurrency on-chain interactions and large-scale application scenarios.

Addressing the Solana network’s access experience under heavy load, ZAN demonstrated its node service performance under mainnet conditions, including Asia-Pacific average response times under 30ms and RTT as low as 2–5ms for validator-co-located nodes.

This Technical Talk further underscored ZAN’s continued commitment to node services and Web3 infrastructure optimization, providing more reliable foundational support for driving Web3 mass adoption.

Strategic Benefits for a High-Performance Web3 Ecosystem

The real-world impact of ultra-low-latency blockchain access spans several high-growth Web3 areas:

High-Frequency DeFi and DEX: In decentralized exchanges, speed directly affects execution quality. A 30ms response time reduces the window for frontrunning bots, allowing market makers and algorithmic traders to execute strategies with greater accuracy and lower slippage. On Ethereum RPC, low-latency mempool access enables DeFi protocols to seize arbitrage opportunities faster; through Solana RPC trading acceleration, DEX aggregators achieve sub-second transaction routing; Polygon RPC and Base RPC sequencer direct connections deliver faster transaction finality for L2 DeFi protocols.

Web3 Gaming and Social dApps: Interactive applications need continuous, seamless data streams. High latency leads to noticeable UI delays, harming user retention. ZAN’s responsive node infrastructure removes these performance barriers, enabling Web3 games to offer interface experiences comparable to traditional web platforms.

Institutional Data Platforms: For enterprises requiring real-time compliance and risk monitoring, data latency can pose significant financial risks. ZAN supports comprehensive, real-time data indexing solutions—such as Sui data services—allowing institutions to instantly track on-chain state changes across multiple blockchain networks.

ZAN Node Service currently supports 28+ popular blockchain RPC services including: Ethereum RPC, Solana RPC, BSC RPC, Polygon RPC, Optimism RPC, Arbitrum RPC, TON RPC, Base RPC, zkSync Era RPC, Starknet RPC, Tron RPC, Avalanche RPC, Fantom RPC, Taiko RPC, Mantle RPC, Bitcoin RPC, Sui RPC, Aptos RPC, Core RPC, X Layer RPC, Near RPC, Hyperliquid RPC, Monad RPC, and 47+ mainnet and testnet networks. Developers can access RPC endpoints for all chains through a single API key, managed centrally via the ZAN console. Beyond shared RPC, ZAN also offers a Dedicated Node Service, where enterprise customers enjoy exclusive node resources for more stable performance and higher request quotas.

Raising the Bar for Blockchain Infrastructure

Beyond TOKEN2049, ZAN has repeatedly proven its infrastructure capabilities at other major Web3 conferences: by cutting response times to 30 milliseconds and tripling API capacity, ZAN has redefined the performance benchmark for RPC services. Facing an increasingly complex blockchain ecosystem, ZAN leverages ZAN Node (high-performance node services), ZK Acceleration, and Expert Audit (smart contract auditing) as core capabilities, providing stable, secure, and scalable foundational support for public chain infrastructure, privacy infrastructure, and verifiable computation.

ZAN ZK Acceleration speeds up ZK proof generation through a dedicated hardware-software optimization framework, covering ZK-Rollup, zkEVM, bridge protocols, privacy transactions, and ZK-ML scenarios. ZAN Expert Audit provides penetration testing, AI auditing, static analysis, and formal verification, helping projects mitigate security risks across the entire lifecycle. Backed by 20 security patents and 50 top-tier conference papers, ZAN continues to deliver high-standard, verifiable infrastructure capabilities for the Web3 ecosystem.
