On the Fastest free Osmosis RPC, live no-key endpoint latency benchmark, Polkachu leads at 187 ms versus PublicNode at 245 ms. Live measurement is updated continuously by the OpenChainBench harness.
On the Fastest free Cosmos Hub RPC, live no-key Cosmos SDK endpoint latency benchmark, PublicNode leads at 202 ms versus Polkachu at 204 ms. Live measurement is updated continuously by the OpenChainBench harness.
Every benchmark on this page uses the same open methodology, published at https://openchainbench.com/methodology. Data is CC-BY-4.0. Measurement harnesses are MIT-licensed.
Auto-generated pairs require: both providers in the same benchmark for seven consecutive days, at least 1000 samples per provider, observable third-party search demand, and a public /products/[slug] page on OCB. Editorially curated pairs (like this one) may publish early when search demand is high and data is accruing — panels with fewer than 100 samples are shown as provisional. The full pair ledger is versioned in the public repo.
