Ronin is an EVM L1 (chain 2020) operated by Sky Mavis, purpose-built for Web3 gaming and home of Axie Infinity, Pixels and a broader gaming ecosystem. RON gas token, delegated proof-of-stake validator set, 3 s block cadence. 4 clean keyless providers live-verified at launch: `ronin-official` (api.roninchain.com), dRPC, Tenderly Gateway, Thirdweb. Excluded by the launch audit: Ronin Tech secondary domain (DNS-fail), PublicNode (no `ronin` subdomain), lgns.net (DNS-fail).
Methodology
Per-chain member of the RPC latency cluster, extended to Ronin. We measure the round-trip latency of a single, identical JSON-RPC call (`eth_getBlockByNumber(\"latest\", false)`) against every no-key public Ronin endpoint that sustains continuous probing, 4 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) with a Ronin-scaled staleness gap (25 blocks at Ronin's ~3 s block time). The cross-chain view lives on the parent `rpc-capabilities` benchmark; this page is the Ronin-scoped answer with per-region breakdowns as a first-class dimension.
Frequently asked
What is the fastest free Ronin RPC right now?
dRPC currently leads at 164 ms (`eth_getBlockByNumber("latest", false)` p50 over the last 24h), measured against 4 no-key providers probed every 60 seconds from us-east, eu-west and Singapore. The leaderboard re-sorts continuously against fresh Prometheus samples. Use the region tabs to see the leader from the origin closest to your deployment.
Which Ronin RPCs work without an API key?
4 endpoints sustain continuous keyless probing at launch. Every listed endpoint was live-verified with a `eth_getBlockByNumber` POST returning a parsable response before inclusion. See the methodology section for the endpoints that were audited and excluded.
Does the fastest Ronin RPC change by region?
Often. Public infra concentrates in specific regions; a gateway that wins from Amsterdam can lose from Singapore by multiples. 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 Ronin 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.
