Shentu RPC endpoints: free public URLs by latency
HTTP round-trip latency for Tendermint /status queries against every available public Shentu (shentu-2.2) endpoint, audited every 60 seconds from 3 regions.
TL;DR. As of , Polkachu has the lowest median latency of the 3 free public Shentu RPC endpoints measured, 129 ms (p50, 24h, 3 regions). Source: OpenChainBench, https://openchainbench.com/benchmarks/shentu-rpc. 3 public endpoints, no key: shentu-rpc.polkachu.com, shentu-rpc.highstakes.ch, rpc.shentu.org. Full URLs with their 24h median are listed below.

Shentu is a Cosmos SDK blockchain (chain ID shentu-2.2) focused on blockchain security. It provides a decentralized security oracle, on-chain bug bounty platform (CertiK Shield), and formal verification tools for smart contracts. The chain uses the standard Tendermint RPC interface; block height is fetched via the /status endpoint. Public keyless RPC nodes are provided by the Shentu official team, Polkachu, and High Stakes. Every provider was live-verified with consecutive block-height probes at launch.
Methodology
Shentu: 3 free public RPC endpoints answering `GET /status` every 60 seconds from us-east, eu-west and Singapore, ranked by 24h median. Polkachu leads at 129 ms; the chain-official endpoint measures 404 ms. We measure the round-trip latency of a Tendermint /status query against every available public Shentu endpoint that sustains continuous probing: 3 providers live today, every 60 seconds, from us-east, eu-west and Singapore. Each provider is probed via a GET /status request from which the block number is extracted. The harness classifies every response (ok / http_err / jsonrpc_err / stale / timeout) with a Cosmos-scaled staleness gap (20 blocks, around 120 s at 6 s/block). The cross-chain view lives on the parent rpc-capabilities benchmark; this page is the Shentu-scoped answer with per-region breakdowns as a first-class dimension.

Frequently asked
Which Shentu RPC endpoints work without an API key?
3 endpoints are probed on this chain: Shentu official (rpc.shentu.org), Polkachu (shentu-rpc.polkachu.com), and High Stakes (shentu-rpc.highstakes.ch). Every listed endpoint was live-verified before inclusion.
What is Shentu and why does its RPC latency matter?
Shentu is a Cosmos SDK blockchain built by CertiK, focused on blockchain security infrastructure. It powers the CertiK Shield decentralized reimbursement platform and a security oracle that scores smart contracts on-chain. Developers integrating with CertiK Shield, querying security scores, or building on the Shentu ecosystem need reliable low-latency RPC access.
What is the CTK token on Shentu?
CTK (CertiK) is the native staking and governance token of the Shentu chain (denominated as uctk on-chain). It is used to stake in the CertiK Shield protection pool, pay for security oracle queries, and participate in on-chain governance.
