Fastest free Filecoin RPC, live no-key FEVM endpoint latency
HTTP round-trip latency for eth_getBlockByNumber against every free, no-key public Filecoin FEVM endpoint, audited every 60 seconds from 3 regions.
TL;DR. As of , Ankr leads rpc latency at 6 ms (p50, 24h) on Fastest free Filecoin RPC, live no-key FEVM endpoint latency. Source: OpenChainBench, https://openchainbench.com/benchmarks/filecoin-rpc.

Filecoin's EVM-compatible runtime (FEVM, chain 314) makes the storage network directly addressable via standard Ethereum tooling. Glif's public node (`api.node.glif.io/rpc/v1`) is the canonical keyless entry point operated by Glif.io, with dRPC and Ankr providing multi-cloud alternatives. Every provider is live-verified with consecutive keyless probes before inclusion.
Methodology
Per-chain member of the RPC latency cluster, extended to Filecoin EVM. We measure the round-trip latency of a single, identical RPC call (`eth_getBlockByNumber`) against every no-key public Filecoin FEVM endpoint that sustains continuous probing, 3 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 Filecoin-scoped answer with per-region breakdowns as a first-class dimension.
Frequently asked
What is the fastest free Filecoin RPC right now?
Ankr currently leads at 6 ms (`eth_getBlockByNumber` p50 over the last 24h), measured against 3 no-key providers probed every 60 seconds from us-east, eu-west and Singapore. The leaderboard re-sorts continuously against fresh Prometheus samples.
Which Filecoin RPCs work without an API key?
3 endpoints sustain continuous keyless probing at launch: Glif, dRPC, Ankr. Every listed endpoint was live-verified before inclusion.
Does the fastest Filecoin 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 Filecoin RPC latency measured here?
One identical JSON-RPC POST (`eth_getBlockByNumber`) every 60 seconds against each provider from each of 3 regions, using the same plain HTTP client the rest of the RPC cluster uses. Responses are classified so an endpoint stuck on an old head or returning errors is never ranked as fastest.
