Fastest free Archway RPC, live no-key endpoint latency
HTTP round-trip latency for the Tendermint status method against every free, no-key public Archway Cosmos SDK endpoint, audited every 60 seconds from 3 regions.
TL;DR. As of , Archway Foundation leads rpc latency at 165 ms (p50, 24h) on Fastest free Archway RPC, live no-key endpoint latency. Source: OpenChainBench, https://openchainbench.com/benchmarks/archway-rpc.

Archway (archway-1) is a Cosmos SDK CosmWasm blockchain with a built-in developer rewards model where dApps earn a portion of gas fees generated by their users, ARCH staking token, CometBFT consensus. Polkachu, LavenderFive, and the Archway Foundation's own endpoint provide keyless Tendermint RPC access probed every 60 seconds from three regions.
Methodology
Per-chain member of the RPC latency cluster, extended to Archway. We measure the round-trip latency of a single, identical Cosmos SDK call (Tendermint `status`) against every no-key public Archway endpoint that sustains continuous probing, 4 providers at launch, every 60 seconds, from us-east, eu-west and Singapore. The harness classifies every response (ok / http_err / jsonrpc_err / stale / timeout) so the leaderboard rewards sustained availability rather than fast error messages. The cross-chain view lives on the parent `rpc-capabilities` benchmark; this page is the Archway-scoped answer with per-region breakdowns as a first-class dimension.
Frequently asked
What is the fastest free Archway RPC right now?
Archway Foundation currently leads at 165 ms (Tendermint `status` p50 over the last 24h), measured against 4 no-key providers probed every 60 seconds from us-east, eu-west and Singapore. The leaderboard re-sorts continuously against fresh Prometheus samples.
Which Archway RPCs work without an API key?
4 endpoints sustain continuous keyless probing at launch: Polkachu, LavenderFive, Archway Foundation, PublicNode. Every listed endpoint was live-verified before inclusion.
Does the fastest Archway RPC change by region?
Often. The region tabs at the top of the page re-scope every number to a single origin; pick the one closest to where your requests originate.
How is Archway RPC latency measured here?
One identical Tendermint `status` POST every 60 seconds against each provider from each of 3 regions. Responses are classified so an endpoint stuck on an old block is never ranked as fastest.
