Quicksilver (quicksilver-2) is a Cosmos SDK ICS (Interchain Security) liquid staking protocol providing qATOM, qOSMO, qSTARS, and other IBC-connected staked representations, QCK staking token, CometBFT consensus. Polkachu, PublicNode, and the Quicksilver Foundation provide keyless Tendermint RPC endpoints probed every 60 seconds from three regions.
Methodology
Quicksilver: 1 free public RPC endpoints answering `status` every 60 seconds from us-east, eu-west and Singapore, ranked by 24h median. Polkachu leads at 204 ms; the chain-official endpoint measures 247 ms. We measure the round-trip latency of a single, identical Cosmos SDK call (Tendermint `status`) against every no-key public Quicksilver endpoint that sustains continuous probing, 1 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) 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 Quicksilver-scoped answer with per-region breakdowns as a first-class dimension.

Frequently asked
What is the fastest free Quicksilver RPC right now?
Polkachu currently leads at 204 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 Quicksilver RPCs work without an API key?
3 endpoints sustain continuous keyless probing at launch: Polkachu, PublicNode, and Quicksilver Foundation. Every listed endpoint was live-verified before inclusion.
Does the fastest Quicksilver 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 Quicksilver 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.
