Hey everyone, I’ve been building on Aurora lately and wanted to share something I came across that might help others here. I found this directory listing the **Top 22 Aurora RPC Nodes & Data APIs** : [https://www.comparenodes.com/protocols/aurora/](https://www.comparenodes.com/protocols/aurora/) It’s basically a curated list of providers (Tatum, Aurora Foundation, Thirdweb, Omnia, etc.) with details like free/public endpoints, uptime status, and network support (Mainnet/Testnet). What I like is that it links directly to public Aurora RPC endpoints, which saves time digging around. Has anyone here tested different Aurora providers for performance (latency, reliability, etc.)? I’m curious if there are noticeable differences depending on region or provider. Would love to hear your experiences especially if you’ve benchmarked them under load. ![Screenshot 2025-09-17 100215](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/aurora/original/2X/3/32ccea54e15d1b4324df622d9b37d0f0cb077964.png) ---

What are the main differences between public Aurora RPC endpoints and private providers in terms of speed and reliability?
