Dedicated BOB RPC node. A private BOB RPC endpoint that only you use: no rate limits, every method on, one fixed monthly price.
BOB is an OP Stack based hybrid ZK rollup on Ethereum (Kailua fault proofs) that is also secured by Bitcoin, positioning itself as the 'Bank of Bitcoin' for swapping, saving, earning and borrowing on Bitcoin rails.

BOB node requirements, and what we build.
Chain facts from BOB's official documentation (docs.gobob.xyz). Where it is silent, the row says so.
| Node software | op-reth, op-node |
| Interfaces | JSON-RPC, WebSocket |
| Full node | Yes, from $129/mo |
| Archive node | Confirmed at quote time |
| Validator | An OP-stack L2 run by a sequencer; official docs describe RPC full nodes only. |
| Chain ID | 60808 |
| Gas token | ETH |
| Official hardware guidance | Official full-node guide requires at least 8 GB RAM and an SSD, preferably NVMe, with at least 100 GB free (as of April 2026) for an op-reth + op-node BOB full node, plus access to an Ethereum L1 full-node RPC. source ↗ |
| Argusnodes build | Meets the official guidance above with headroom on top, never at the minimum. Ask and we tell you the exact CPU, RAM and NVMe; root access on request. |
What changed on BOB recently
- BOB now describes itself as a Hybrid Chain: Phase 1 (Ethereum L2 with the Kailua ZK fault-proof upgrade) is complete, Phase 2 Bitcoin soft finality via Babylon BTC staking is in progress, and the BitVM bridge was slated for mainnet in Q4 2025. source ↗
- BOB's official full-node guide (as of April 2026) uses op-reth v2.1.0-rc.1 and op-node v1.16.12 and no longer references op-geth. source ↗
- OP Labs marks op-geth as end-of-support on 31 May 2026 and names op-reth the primary supported execution client for OP Stack nodes, so any remaining op-geth BOB nodes should be migrated. source ↗
- BOB introduced Hybrid Nodes, a limited operator set ranked by BOB token delegation, rolled out in phases (pre-staking, infrastructure launch, role extension), with BitVM operators and Bitcoin finality providers planned for Phase 2. source ↗

Public BOB RPC URLs, checked every week.
Free, shared BOB endpoints from the chain registry that answered eth_chainId with 60808 in our weekly check (1 of 2). Good for a wallet or a test; once an app, bot or indexer depends on it, move to a dedicated BOB RPC endpoint.

Dedicated BOB RPC node: the questions buyers ask.
What is a BOB RPC node?
A server running BOB's node software (op-reth, op-node) that answers RPC requests: reading balances and state, and sending transactions. It can be public and free, shared by a provider's customers, or dedicated to one client.
What is a dedicated BOB RPC node?
A BOB node on a bare-metal server that runs for one client only, with its own private RPC endpoint. Nobody else's traffic shares the machine, so there is no rate limit and no noisy neighbour, and every method the client exposes is on. Argusnodes builds, syncs, monitors and upgrades it for you at one fixed monthly price.
Is my BOB node managed and monitored, and what does that cost?
Yes, and so is monitoring, both at no additional cost. We set up and sync the node, watch it 24/7 with live node and server metrics in your dashboard, apply every network upgrade and client update, and fix it when something breaks. If you need help around the node, such as connecting it to your app, moving off another provider or setting up an indexer, our engineers help with that too, at the same monthly price.
What is a private BOB RPC endpoint?
An RPC endpoint that only your applications use. It sits on a dedicated BOB node that is yours alone, on your own domain if you want one, and answers only the IP addresses you allowlist. No other customer's traffic shares the machine, so nobody else's burst becomes your latency, and there is no rate limit to hit.
How long until my BOB node is live?
As soon as it has synced with the BOB network, and we tell you the moment it is ready. Sync time depends on the node type and the client you pick (op-reth, op-node), so your quote carries an estimate for your exact setup rather than a number that is sometimes wrong. The quote itself lands within the hour, around the clock.
What is included in the from $129/mo for my BOB node?
Everything the node can do, with the premium add-ons other providers bill separately included free: unlimited RPS, every RPC method including debug and trace, unlimited WebSocket connections, your own domain with an IP allowlist, 18 cities to choose from, a 99.99% SLA with credits, 24/7 engineer support and live p50/p99 in your dashboard. There is no add-on price list because nothing is an add-on.
What hardware will my BOB node run on?
A machine that meets BOB's official hardware guidance (quoted in the spec sheet on this page) with headroom on top, on a dedicated bare-metal server. We never build at the minimum, because a node sized to the minimum becomes the bottleneck the day the chain grows. Ask before you order and we tell you the exact CPU, RAM and NVMe; the delivery email names the server, and root access is yours if you want it.
Which BOB client should I choose?
op-reth: Rust execution client used in the official BOB full-node guide (v2.1.0-rc.1), serving the HTTP/WS JSON-RPC API and syncing in staged pipelines; it is also OP Labs' primary supported execution client now that op-geth is end-of-support. op-node: OP Stack consensus/rollup node (v1.16.12 in the BOB guide) that derives L2 blocks from L1 and drives op-reth over the authenticated Engine API on port 9551.
Does Argusnodes run BOB archive nodes and trace methods?
Archive support on BOB is confirmed against its documentation as part of your quote. Every method the client exposes is on by default at no extra charge.
Can I run a BOB validator with Argusnodes?
An OP-stack L2 run by a sequencer; official docs describe RPC full nodes only. We run every node type the chain actually offers and none it does not.
Can I move my BOB endpoint from another provider?
Yes. A dedicated BOB node speaks the same JSON-RPC and WebSocket interfaces as the shared endpoint you use today, so migration is pointing your application at your own endpoint. Billing is monthly with no lock-in on our side, and support engineers are on the channels 24/7 during cutover.
Are there rate limits or connection caps on a dedicated BOB node?
No artificial ones: unlimited RPS and no connection cap. The machine is yours alone, so the hardware is the only ceiling: if it can serve the request, you can send it. There is no per-plan connection cap because there is no plan tier.
How do I pay for my BOB node, and can I cancel?
In crypto, with no KYC and no setup fee. Pay monthly, or save 5% quarterly and 10% annually, and your price is locked for as long as your node runs. Cancel at the end of any term; the node is provisioned for you alone, so there is no meter to escape and no exit fee.
What is the BOB chain ID?
60808 (hex 0xed88), per BOB's official documentation. A dedicated BOB node answers eth_chainId with it, so wallets and libraries configured for BOB work against your endpoint unchanged.
What is the BOB RPC URL?
Public BOB RPC URLs from the chain registry that answered our weekly check on chain ID 60808: https://rpc.gobob.xyz. BOB's official documentation (docs.gobob.xyz) is the reference for its own endpoints. They are shared, rate limited and run by third parties, so they are fine for a wallet and not for an application. A dedicated node gives you a private BOB RPC URL of your own, on your domain if you want, that nobody else uses.
Is BOB RPC free?
Yes, public BOB RPC endpoints are free: the ones that passed our weekly check are listed on this page. They are shared and rate limited, which is fine for a wallet or a test. A dedicated BOB node is the paid option for an app, bot or indexer, at one fixed monthly price.
What is the best BOB RPC provider?
It depends on the workload. Check four things: whether the node is single-tenant or shared, whether there are rate limits or credits, whether archive, trace and debug are included, and who answers when it breaks. For a wallet, a free public endpoint is enough. For an app, bot or indexer, a dedicated node with no rate limits avoids the throttling of shared plans. Our comparison pages (argusnodes.com/vs) set us against other providers, with sources.
How do I add BOB to MetaMask with my own RPC URL?
Add a network manually with the chain ID 60808, the currency symbol ETH and your private BOB RPC URL in place of the public one. The steps are the same as for a public URL; the difference is that the endpoint is yours alone, so the wallet never hits someone else's rate limit.
