ZAN Unveils Ultra-Low-Latency Web3 RPC Infrastructure with Sub-30ms Response Times
ZAN, the Web3 technology brand under Ant Digital Technologies, has unveiled an ultra-low-latency Web3 RPC infrastructure that can process up to 2 billion requests per day. The company reported average Remote Procedure Call (RPC) response times of below 30 milliseconds across the Asia-Pacific region and API throughput up to three times higher than the industry standard.
The new infrastructure, called ZAN Node, combines multi-region deployment, intelligent routing, customized network optimization, caching, and data-access improvements to deliver sub-30ms RPC performance while supporting large-scale blockchain workloads. RPC nodes act as communication gateways between decentralized applications and blockchain networks, processing requests such as wallet balances, transaction submissions, smart contract interactions, and on-chain data queries.
ZAN said its performance improvements result from coordinated optimization across the network path rather than relying on faster individual servers. The infrastructure uses customized TCP optimization, intelligent traffic routing, multi-region node deployment, and data caching to reduce the time required to process requests. Physical co-location of node clusters close to major blockchain validators and infrastructure hubs can lower round-trip times, with some validator-co-located nodes achieving RTT measurements of between 2 and 5 milliseconds.
