Fastest free Etherlink RPC, live no-key endpoint latency
HTTP round-trip latency for eth_getBlockByNumber against every free, no-key public Etherlink EVM endpoint, audited every 60 seconds from 3 regions.
TL;DR. As of , Etherlink Foundation leads rpc latency at 5 ms (p50, 24h) on Fastest free Etherlink RPC, live no-key endpoint latency. Source: OpenChainBench, https://openchainbench.com/benchmarks/etherlink-rpc.

Etherlink (chain 42793) is a Tezos L2 using Smart Rollup technology, offering EVM compatibility backed by the Tezos Foundation. XTZ is the bridged gas token. Four keyless endpoints are probed continuously: Etherlink official (node.mainnet.etherlink.com), dRPC (etherlink.drpc.org), Ankr (rpc.ankr.com/etherlink_mainnet), and Blast API.
Methodology
Per-chain member of the RPC latency cluster, extended to Etherlink. We measure the round-trip latency of a single, identical RPC call (`eth_getBlockByNumber`) against every no-key public Etherlink endpoint that sustains continuous probing, 4 providers at launch, every 60 seconds, from us-east, eu-west and Singapore. The cross-chain view lives on the parent `rpc-capabilities` benchmark; this page is the Etherlink-scoped answer with per-region breakdowns as a first-class dimension.
Frequently asked
What is the fastest free Etherlink RPC right now?
Etherlink Foundation currently leads at 5 ms (`eth_getBlockByNumber` p50 over the last 24h), measured against 4 no-key providers probed every 60 seconds from us-east, eu-west and Singapore.
Which Etherlink RPCs work without an API key?
4 endpoints sustain continuous keyless probing: Etherlink official, dRPC, Ankr, and Blast API. Every endpoint was live-verified before inclusion.
Does the fastest Etherlink RPC change by region?
Often. The region tabs at the top of the page re-scope every number to a single origin.
How is Etherlink RPC latency measured here?
One identical JSON-RPC POST (`eth_getBlockByNumber`) every 60 seconds against each provider from each of 3 regions.
