Fastest free Stride RPC, live no-key endpoint latency
HTTP round-trip latency for the Tendermint status method against every free, no-key public Stride Cosmos SDK endpoint, audited every 60 seconds from 3 regions.
TL;DR. As of , Polkachu leads rpc latency at 196 ms (p50, 24h) on Fastest free Stride RPC, live no-key endpoint latency. Source: OpenChainBench, https://openchainbench.com/benchmarks/stride-rpc.

Stride (stride-1) is a Cosmos SDK liquid staking protocol providing stATOM, stTIA, stOSMO, and other IBC-connected staked assets, STRD governance token, using CometBFT consensus. It integrates with the broader Cosmos IBC ecosystem for cross-chain liquid staking. Polkachu, PublicNode, and LavenderFive provide keyless Tendermint RPC endpoints probed every 60 seconds from three regions.
Methodology
Per-chain member of the RPC latency cluster, extended to Stride. We measure the round-trip latency of a single, identical Cosmos SDK call (Tendermint `status`) against every no-key public Stride endpoint that sustains continuous probing, 3 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) so the leaderboard rewards sustained availability rather than fast error messages. The cross-chain view lives on the parent `rpc-capabilities` benchmark; this page is the Stride-scoped answer with per-region breakdowns as a first-class dimension.
Frequently asked
What is the fastest free Stride RPC right now?
Polkachu currently leads at 196 ms (Tendermint `status` p50 over the last 24h), measured against 3 no-key providers probed every 60 seconds from us-east, eu-west and Singapore. The leaderboard re-sorts continuously against fresh Prometheus samples.
Which Stride RPCs work without an API key?
3 endpoints sustain continuous keyless probing at launch: Polkachu, PublicNode, LavenderFive. Every listed endpoint was live-verified before inclusion.
Does the fastest Stride RPC change by region?
Often. 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 Stride RPC latency measured here?
One identical Tendermint `status` POST every 60 seconds against each provider from each of 3 regions. Responses are classified so an endpoint stuck on an old block is never ranked as fastest.
