Boba Network RPC endpoints: free public URLs by latency

HTTP round-trip latency for eth_getBlockByNumber against every free, no-key public Boba Network RPC endpoint, audited every 60 seconds from 3 regions.

TL;DR. As of , BlockVectra has the lowest median latency of the 3 free public Boba Network RPC endpoints measured, 119 ms (p50, 24h, 3 regions). Source: OpenChainBench, https://openchainbench.com/benchmarks/boba-rpc. Chain ID 288. 3 public endpoints, no key: api.blockvectra.com, mainnet.boba.network, boba-eth.drpc.org. Full URLs with their 24h median are listed below.

Boba Network is an OP-Stack EVM L2 on Ethereum (chain 288) focusing on reducing gas costs for computationally intensive applications, BOBA governance token, operated by the Boba Foundation. The official endpoint at mainnet.boba.network and dRPC provide keyless access probed every 60 seconds from three regions.

Methodology

Boba Network: 3 free public RPC endpoints answering `eth_getBlockByNumber` every 60 seconds from us-east, eu-west and Singapore, ranked by 24h median. BlockVectra leads at 119 ms; the chain-official endpoint measures 120 ms. We measure the round-trip latency of a single, identical RPC call (`eth_getBlockByNumber`) against every no-key public Boba Network endpoint that sustains continuous probing, 3 providers live today, 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 Boba Network-scoped answer with per-region breakdowns as a first-class dimension.

  • Cadence: every 60 seconds per provider, from each of 3 probe regions (us-east Virginia, eu-west Amsterdam, sgp Singapore). Headline p50/p90/p99 aggregate across all 3 regions via Prometheus `avg(quantile_over_time(...))`; per-region breakdowns are first-class on this page via the region tabs.
  • Payload: `{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":<rotating>,"method":"eth_getBlockByNumber","params":["latest",false]}`. Plain HTTP POST, identical for every endpoint, no API key in any request.
  • Latency measurement, call-result classification (`ok`, `http_err`, `jsonrpc_err`, `stale`, `timeout`) and the archive-depth audit follow the cluster method documented on [rpc-capabilities](openchainbench.com/benchmarks/rpc-capabilities#methodology); this page is the Boba Network-scoped view of the same harness, with the same exclusion rules.
  • Chain scope: every query on this page is pinned to `chain="boba"`. Provider coverage: 3 no-key public-read endpoints live today, each listed with its URL in the endpoints table on this page.

Results: 3 free public Boba Network RPC endpoints ranked by p50 latency (24h, 3 regions)
