Fuse Network RPC endpoints: free public URLs by latency

HTTP round-trip latency for the `eth_getBlockByNumber("latest", false)` method against every free, no-key public Fuse Network EVM endpoint, audited every 60 seconds from 3 regions.

TL;DR. As of , dRPC has the lowest median latency of the 2 free public Fuse Network RPC endpoints measured, 353 ms (p50, 24h, 3 regions). Source: OpenChainBench, https://openchainbench.com/benchmarks/fuse-rpc. Chain ID 122. 2 public endpoints, no key: fuse.drpc.org, rpc.fuse.io. Full URLs with their 24h median are listed below.

Fuse Network is a community-owned EVM-compatible blockchain (chain 122) built around business payments and consumer DeFi, FUSE as gas token, ~5 s block cadence with AuRa-based consensus (parity-style PoA), real-world payment integrations with the Fuse Cash and Fuse Studio ecosystem. The 2026-08-04 audit confirms 2 clean keyless providers: the Fuse Foundation official endpoint (rpc.fuse.io), dRPC (fuse.drpc.org), and Thirdweb (122.rpc.thirdweb.com). Excluded: Ankr (no Fuse route), Alchemy (no Fuse support), QuickNode (key required).

Methodology

Fuse Network: 2 free public RPC endpoints answering `eth_getBlockByNumber` every 60 seconds from us-east, eu-west and Singapore, ranked by 24h median. dRPC leads at 353 ms; the chain-official endpoint measures 460 ms. We measure the round-trip latency of a single, identical JSON-RPC call (`eth_getBlockByNumber("latest", false)`) against every no-key public Fuse Network endpoint that sustains continuous probing, 2 providers measured, every 60 seconds, from us-east, eu-west and Singapore. The harness classifies every response (ok / http_err / jsonrpc_err / stale / timeout) with a Fuse Network-scaled staleness gap (20 blocks at Fuse Network's ~5 s block time). The cross-chain view lives on the parent `rpc-capabilities` benchmark; this page is the Fuse 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. The request id rotates, but that does not guarantee a cache miss: many caches normalise `id` away. Measured 2026-10-08, fixed and rotating ids answer within 2 to 4 percent of each other.
  • 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 Fuse Network-scoped view of the same harness, with the same exclusion rules.
  • Chain scope: every query on this page is pinned to `chain="fuse"`. Provider coverage: 2 no-key endpoints.

Public Fuse Network RPC endpoints measured

Chain ID 122, currency FUSE. The 2 no-key endpoints answering our probes today, with their current 24h median. Paste one into a wallet or a client as is: no signup, no key. Private providers (API key) are never listed with a URL.

Median round-trip and success rate over the last 24 hours across the probe regions; the ranked table above carries p90, p99 and the per-region split.

Declared, but not answering our probes

This endpoint is named in the spec and probed on the same schedule as the rest, and answers too rarely to carry a median. Below 5 % success we leave it out of the table rather than publish a latency drawn from a handful of replies. A provider can serve a browser and refuse a datacenter, so this says what a server deployment would meet, not what the endpoint is capable of.

Frequently asked

Which Fuse Network RPCs work without an API key?

3 endpoints are probed on this chain: Fuse Foundation (https://rpc.fuse.io), dRPC (https://fuse.drpc.org), and Thirdweb (https://122.rpc.thirdweb.com). Every listed endpoint was live-verified with a `eth_getBlockByNumber` POST returning a parsable response before inclusion.

How is Fuse Network RPC latency measured here, technically?

One identical `eth_getBlockByNumber("latest", false)` POST every 60 seconds against each provider from each of 3 regions, using the same plain HTTP client the rest of the RPC cluster uses. Wall-clock round-trip is recorded at millisecond precision; p50/p90/p99 are computed via Prometheus `quantile_over_time` over 24 hours. Responses are classified (`ok` / `http_err` / `jsonrpc_err` / `stale` / `timeout`) so an endpoint stuck on an old head or returning errors behind HTTP 200 is never ranked as fastest.
