Lisk RPC endpoints: free public URLs by latency

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

TL;DR. As of , dRPC has the lowest median latency of the 3 free public Lisk RPC endpoints measured, 75 ms (p50, 24h, 3 regions). Source: OpenChainBench, https://openchainbench.com/benchmarks/lisk-rpc. Chain ID 1135. 3 public endpoints, no key: lisk.drpc.org, gateway.tenderly.co, rpc.api.lisk.com. Full URLs with their 24h median are listed below.

Lisk is an OP Stack L2 (chain 1135) operated by Onchain Foundation (formerly Lisk Foundation), focused on emerging-market Web3 adoption, ETH gas token, ~2 s block cadence, blob calldata settlement on Ethereum. 2026-08-03 re-audit brings the total to 3 clean keyless providers: the Lisk official endpoint (rpc.api.lisk.com), dRPC (lisk.drpc.org), Thirdweb (lisk.rpc.thirdweb.com), and Tenderly Gateway (gateway.tenderly.co/public/lisk). Excluded: Blast API (no lisk route), Alchemy (key required), Infura (no lisk route), QuickNode (key required).

Methodology

Lisk: 3 free public RPC endpoints answering `eth_getBlockByNumber` every 60 seconds from us-east, eu-west and Singapore, ranked by 24h median. dRPC leads at 75 ms; the chain-official endpoint measures 145 ms. We measure the round-trip latency of a single, identical JSON-RPC call (`eth_getBlockByNumber(\"latest\", false)`) against every no-key public Lisk 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) with a Lisk-scaled staleness gap (20 blocks at Lisk's ~2 s block time). The cross-chain view lives on the parent `rpc-capabilities` benchmark; this page is the Lisk-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 Lisk-scoped view of the same harness, with the same exclusion rules.
  • Chain scope: every query on this page is pinned to `chain="lisk"`. Provider coverage: 3 no-key endpoints.

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 Lisk RPCs work without an API key?

4 endpoints are probed on this chain: the Lisk official endpoint (rpc.api.lisk.com), dRPC (lisk.drpc.org), Thirdweb (lisk.rpc.thirdweb.com), and Tenderly Gateway (gateway.tenderly.co/public/lisk). Every listed endpoint was live-verified with a `eth_getBlockByNumber` POST returning a parsable response before inclusion.

How is Lisk 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.
