Hi all, this is Aaron with Selvage Labs. We run blockchain RPC and archive nodes on bare-metal hardware we own and operate, based in Toronto, Canada.  
We’ve opened a free public endpoint for Polkadot Asset Hub, backed by a full archive node:

- wss://asset-hub.selvagelabs.io
- [https://asset-hub.selvagelabs.io](https://asset-hub.selvagelabs.io)

No API key and no sign-up. Fair-use limits are published: 10 open connections and 20 new connections or HTTPS calls a second per IP (bursts to 40). Safe RPC methods only; state at any block works, and so do the archive\_v1\_\* methods.

We don’t think you should have to take a provider’s word on reliability. Our status page checks the endpoint every minute from Cloudflare’s network, outside our own, and publishes the record, potential bad minutes included: [https://status.selvagelabs.io](https://status.selvagelabs.io)

Docs and quick-start examples are easy to find on the site.

If you’re on Asset Hub and need more than a shared endpoint, such as a dedicated node (pruned or archive), our contact info is on our site or linked to my profile here. Feedback on the endpoint is very welcome here.

Cheers,

---
