Fastest free Shentu RPC, live no-key endpoint 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 posts the lowest rpc latency at 190 ms (p50, 24h) on Fastest free Shentu RPC, live no-key endpoint latency. Source: OpenChainBench, https://openchainbench.com/benchmarks/shentu-rpc.

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
Per-chain member of the RPC latency cluster, extended to Shentu (shentu-2.2). We measure the round-trip latency of a Tendermint /status query against every available public Shentu endpoint that sustains continuous probing: 3 providers at launch, 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
What is the fastest free Shentu RPC right now?
Polkachu currently leads at 190 ms (Shentu block height p50 over the last 24h), measured against 3 providers probed every 60 seconds from us-east, eu-west and Singapore. The leaderboard re-sorts continuously against fresh Prometheus samples.
Which Shentu RPC endpoints work without an API key?
3 endpoints sustain continuous keyless probing at launch: 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.
Does the fastest Shentu RPC change by region?
Yes. The official Shentu node and community validators are hosted in different regions. The region tabs re-scope every number to a single probe origin so you can pick the best endpoint for your user base.
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.
