FULL · ARCHIVEBase archive node hosting for $149 a month.
Get your own Base node, set up and kept in sync for you, with a private endpoint for your app. Apps and bots on Base send a lot of small transactions, so a dedicated node keeps reads and sends fast when the network is busy.

Base node questions
How long until my node is ready?
Ready within 24 hours of payment, usually sooner. Your dashboard shows the sync progress, and your private endpoint appears there once the node is live.
Is there a request limit?
No per-request billing. The node is dedicated to you, so the only limit is what the server can handle.
Which software does the node run?
op-node together with Reth (op-reth), the software used to run OP Stack chains like Base. We keep the software updated through network upgrades.
Full node or archive node for Base?
Choose full for apps, bots and wallets that read current state and send transactions. Choose archive if you must look up old balances or contract values at past blocks.
Can I switch from full to archive later?
Yes. Upgrade from your dashboard and pay the difference for the rest of your term.
Does it work with MetaMask and ethers?
Yes. It speaks the standard Ethereum JSON-RPC, so any tool or wallet that accepts a custom RPC URL works.
How do I connect to my node?
Copy the endpoint from your dashboard. It looks like https://base-3d8r.nodes.rocketrpc.com/YOUR_KEY. Paste it in as the RPC URL.
