This page outlines the real-world performance characteristics of Moralis APIs, including latency, request throughput, data freshness, and availability. The figures below reflect typical production behavior under normal load and are intended to help teams design and operate reliable systems.

API Latency

Moralis APIs are optimized for low-latency, high-throughput access to blockchain data. Typical response times across core read endpoints:
PercentileLatency
p50< 50 ms
p90< 500 ms
p95< 1 s
Latency may vary based on:
  • Endpoint complexity
  • Chain and network conditions
  • Result size and pagination
  • Applied enrichment (decoding, pricing, analytics)

Throughput & Request Rates

Moralis supports high sustained request volumes for production workloads.
  • 1,000+ requests per second (RPS) is supported on appropriate plans
  • Throughput is governed by Compute Units (CUs) and plan-level limits
  • Short bursts are supported within rolling rate-limit windows
  • Enterprise customers can request custom throughput limits and dedicated capacity
For plan-specific limits, see:

Data Freshness

Data freshness reflects how quickly new on-chain activity becomes available via the API. Typical freshness for indexed on-chain data:
PercentileFreshness
p50< 4 s
p90< 8 s
Notes:
  • Blocks, transactions, and transfers are indexed near real time
  • Price and market data update continuously
  • Derived metrics (holders, analytics, PnL) may lag slightly during periods of high activity

Availability & Uptime

Moralis operates production infrastructure 24/7/365.
  • Enterprise customers are supported with a 24/7/365 SLA
  • Platform uptime and incident history are publicly available at:
