Fastest free Ethereum RPC

As of June 11, 2026, dRPC leads Ethereum RPC latency at 22 ms (p50, 24h window), measured across 9 providers. Regional leaders differ: Tenderly in US-East and EU-West; dRPC in Singapore.

dRPC currently leads the free, no-key Ethereum RPC field at 22 ms (`eth_blockNumber` p50, 24h), measured against 9 providers, the largest cohort in this bench. Ethereum is also where the silent-failure analysis earns its keep: Cloudflare-eth answers HTTP 200 with a JSON-RPC error field on many methods, and Merkle is excluded after recurring Cloudflare lockouts. Probes run every 15 seconds from us-east, eu-west and Singapore.
