Fastest free Persistence RPC, live no-key endpoint latency
HTTP round-trip latency for the Tendermint status method against every free, no-key public Persistence Cosmos SDK endpoint, audited every 60 seconds from 3 regions.
TL;DR. As of , Persistence Foundation leads rpc latency at 173 ms (p50, 24h) on Fastest free Persistence RPC, live no-key endpoint latency. Source: OpenChainBench, https://openchainbench.com/benchmarks/persistence-rpc.

Persistence (core-1) is a Cosmos SDK blockchain specializing in liquid staking with stkATOM, stkDYDX, and other IBC-connected staked assets, XPRT staking token, using CometBFT consensus. It was among the first Cosmos liquid staking protocols. Polkachu, PublicNode, and the Persistence Foundation provide keyless Tendermint RPC endpoints probed every 60 seconds from three regions.
Methodology
Per-chain member of the RPC latency cluster, extended to Persistence. We measure the round-trip latency of a single, identical Cosmos SDK call (Tendermint `status`) against every no-key public Persistence 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 Persistence-scoped answer with per-region breakdowns as a first-class dimension.
Frequently asked
What is the fastest free Persistence RPC right now?
Persistence Foundation currently leads at 173 ms (Tendermint `status` 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 Persistence RPCs work without an API key?
3 endpoints sustain continuous keyless probing at launch: Polkachu, PublicNode, and Persistence Foundation. Every listed endpoint was live-verified before inclusion.
Does the fastest Persistence 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 Persistence RPC latency measured here?
One identical Tendermint `status` POST every 60 seconds against each provider from each of 3 regions. Responses are classified so an endpoint stuck on an old block is never ranked as fastest.
