Multi-Endpoint Comparison

This guide configures one suite to compare multiple endpoints on the same chain.

Use cases

Multi-endpoint comparison is useful when you need to:

compare self-hosted client vs managed provider
compare different client implementations
compare canary endpoint vs stable production endpoint

Prerequisites

Before setting up comparisons, you need a chain with at least two endpoints.

chain exists
at least two endpoints added
one endpoint selected as reference

See Create a Chain and Add Endpoints.

Step 1: Prepare endpoints

Start by ensuring your endpoints are properly tagged so you can tell results apart.

reference
candidate
client:reth, client:nethermind
env:prod

Step 2: Create comparison suite

Now create a suite that tests all endpoints and compares their outputs.

Go to Test Suites and click Add Suite .
Choose a comparison-capable template.
Select reference endpoint.
Select candidate endpoints.
Set interval schedule (for example 300s).
Save.

Step 3: Run and inspect verdict

Trigger a run and look at the comparison verdict to see how endpoints stack up.

Interpret verdict:

pass: expected parity
warn: inspect drift
fail: investigate mismatch immediately

Operational checklist

A few practices that keep comparisons useful over time.

keep reference endpoint stable and trusted
limit candidate count per suite for faster isolation
separate correctness and performance-focused suites
document threshold rationale in your repo
