VeChain RPC endpoints: free public URLs by latency
HTTP round-trip latency for GET /blocks/best against every available public VeChain node, audited every 60 seconds from 3 regions.
TL;DR. As of , VeThor Node has the lowest median latency of the 3 free public VeChain RPC endpoints measured, 96 ms (p50, 24h, 3 regions). Source: OpenChainBench, https://openchainbench.com/benchmarks/vechain-rpc. 3 public endpoints, no key: vethor-node.vechain.com, mainnet.vechain.org, node-mainnet.vechain.energy. Full URLs with their 24h median are listed below.

VeChain is a proof-of-authority enterprise blockchain targeting supply chain transparency and IoT use cases, producing one block every 10 seconds. It uses a two-token model (VET + VTHO) and exposes a REST API at /blocks/best for the latest committed block. Public REST endpoints are available without an API key from the VeChain Foundation (mainnet.vechain.org, vethor-node.vechain.com) and VeChain.energy. Every provider was live-verified with consecutive block probes at launch.
Methodology
VeChain: 3 free public RPC endpoints answering `GET /blocks/best` every 60 seconds from us-east, eu-west and Singapore, ranked by 24h median. VeThor Node (tied) leads at 96 ms. We measure the round-trip latency of a single REST call (GET /blocks/best) against every available public VeChain node that sustains continuous probing: 3 providers live today, every 60 seconds, from us-east, eu-west and Singapore. The harness classifies every response (ok / http_err / jsonrpc_err / stale / timeout) with a VeChain-scaled staleness gap (30 blocks, around 5 min at 10 s/block). The cross-chain view lives on the parent rpc-capabilities benchmark; this page is the VeChain-scoped answer with per-region breakdowns as a first-class dimension.

Frequently asked
Which VeChain RPC endpoints work without an API key?
3 endpoints are probed on this chain: VeChain Foundation mainnet node (mainnet.vechain.org), VeThor Node (vethor-node.vechain.com) and VeChain.energy community node (node-mainnet.vechain.energy). Every listed endpoint was live-verified with a blocks/best call returning a parsable block number before inclusion.
