Fastest free Base RPC

As of June 11, 2026, dRPC leads Base RPC latency at 23 ms (p50, 24h window), measured across 6 providers. Regional leaders differ: Tenderly in US-East and EU-West; dRPC in Singapore.

Coinbase's own `mainnet.base.org` goes head-to-head with PublicNode, dRPC, Tenderly and Merkle on Base, an unusually clean comparison because the chain-official endpoint is operated by the same team that runs the sequencer. The current leader is dRPC at 23 ms (`eth_blockNumber` p50, 24h) across 6 providers, probed every 15 seconds from three regions with stale-head detection against the cross-provider tip.
