RPC nodes
RPC Node Benchmarks
Every free, no-key public RPC endpoint, measured per chain with the same probe: one identical eth_blockNumber call every 15 seconds from 3 regions (N. Virginia, Amsterdam, Singapore). The matrix below folds the per-chain leaderboards into one view — fastest provider per chain, fastest per region, and which gateway covers your whole multichain stack. Headline numbers are 24h p50 round-trip latency; methodology and exclusion rules live on the parent rpc-capabilities benchmark.
