Oasis Emerald (chain 42262) is the EVM-compatible ParaTime on the Oasis Network providing a standard Solidity environment without confidentiality overhead, ROSE gas token bridged from the consensus layer, lower fees than mainnet Ethereum. The Oasis Foundation's emerald.oasis.io provides keyless access probed every 60 seconds from three regions.
Methodology
Per-chain member of the RPC latency cluster, extended to Oasis Emerald. We measure the round-trip latency of a single, identical RPC call (`eth_getBlockByNumber`) against every no-key public Oasis Emerald endpoint that sustains continuous probing, 1 provider 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 Oasis Emerald-scoped answer with per-region breakdowns as a first-class dimension.
Frequently asked
What is the fastest free Oasis Emerald RPC right now?
Oasis Foundation currently leads at 232 ms (`eth_getBlockByNumber` p50 over the last 24h), measured against 1 no-key provider probed every 60 seconds from us-east, eu-west and Singapore. The leaderboard re-sorts continuously against fresh Prometheus samples.
Which Oasis Emerald RPCs work without an API key?
1 endpoint sustains continuous keyless probing at launch: Oasis Foundation. Every listed endpoint was live-verified before inclusion.
Does the fastest Oasis Emerald 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 Oasis Emerald RPC latency measured here?
One identical JSON-RPC POST (`eth_getBlockByNumber`) every 60 seconds against each provider from each of 3 regions. Responses are classified so an endpoint stuck on an old head or returning errors is never ranked as fastest.
