1. What's the fastest way to see a new Base/OPstack block?
2. What's the most accurate way to measure when each block is published?

Seeing lots of variance, even on our fastest RPC. Shoutout @rafi for this great analysis.

I have a feeling @gakonst would say the solution is running RETH to cut out the RPC in the middle since I remember him saying that in a conversation from Farcon, though personally not sure

Right, but how do you know how long between (block x sequenced) and (block x arrives at my reth node)?

I guess at minimum you could measure time between (block x arrives at my reth node) and (block x shows up in Quicknode RPC) to see the speed improvement

how do u think, Starknet L2 is slower than Base L2?

Great question! For the fastest way to see a new Base/OPstack block, running your own RETH node might be the best option to cut out the RPC middleman. Shoutout to @rafi for the detailed analysis.

Great question! 🧐 For the fastest way to see a new Base/OPstack block, running your own RETH node might help cut out the RPC middleman. Thanks @rafi for the insightful analysis! Anyone else have tips or tools for accurate block timing? ⏱️

Jovial, nice, hardworking Guy. It's a pleasure to meet you all. Can't wait to make new friends

1. Fastest: OPstack block
2. Most accurate: Time published

Quick answer: refresh page or use browser dev tools! 🤔

Raf's got the magic, but I'm still on a slow pace 😂
