Dedicated GateLayer RPC node. A private GateLayer RPC endpoint that only you use: no rate limits, every method on, one fixed monthly price.
GateLayer is a high-performance, fully EVM-compatible layer-2 built on the OP Stack, using GateChain as its settlement layer.

What changed on GateLayer recently
- GateLayer docker-compose RPC node configs (full and archive) were published in the official node-binary repo in November 2025, and v1.1.0 binaries (gatelayer-geth + gatelayer-node) in February-March 2026. source ↗
- node-binary v2.0.0 (30 June 2026) ships gatelayer-reth (op-reth based) plus gatelayer-node in place of the earlier gatelayer-geth binary; the RunRPCNode docs page still describes op-geth, so follow the repo for current binaries. source ↗
- OP Labs declared op-geth end-of-support on 2026-05-31 and it does not support the Karst hardfork; GateLayer's published docker-compose still pulls ghcr.io/gatechain/geth, so confirm the supported execution image with Gate before deploying. source ↗
- No official hardware figures exist beyond 'typically 1-5 TB' of disk for archive mode; mainnet was producing blocks (height 29,317,227) on 22 August 2026. source ↗

Public GateLayer RPC URLs, checked every week.
Free, shared GateLayer endpoints from the chain registry that answered eth_chainId with 10088 in our weekly check (1 of 1). Good for a wallet or a test; once an app, bot or indexer depends on it, move to a dedicated GateLayer RPC endpoint.

Dedicated GateLayer RPC node: the questions buyers ask.
What is a GateLayer RPC node?
A server running GateLayer's node software (op-node (gatelayer-node), op-reth (gatelayer-reth)) 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 GateLayer RPC node?
A GateLayer 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 GateLayer 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 GateLayer RPC endpoint?
An RPC endpoint that only your applications use. It sits on a dedicated GateLayer 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 GateLayer node is live?
As soon as it has synced with the GateLayer network, and we tell you the moment it is ready. Sync time depends on the node type (an archive node replays the full history, so it takes longest) and the client you pick (op-node (gatelayer-node), op-reth (gatelayer-reth)), 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 $139/mo for my GateLayer 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 GateLayer node run on?
A machine that meets GateLayer's official requirements 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 GateLayer client should I choose?
op-node (gatelayer-node): The rollup/consensus node that derives GateLayer blocks from Gate Chain L1 and drives the execution client over the Engine API (RPC on 9546); required on every RPC node. op-reth (gatelayer-reth): Execution client shipped in node-binary v2.0.0 (30 June 2026) replacing gatelayer-geth, matching the reth/v1.9.3 reported by the public mainnet RPC; use it for new deployments since op-geth is end-of-support.
Does Argusnodes run GateLayer archive nodes and trace methods?
Yes. GateLayer's documentation describes full-history operation; we run GateLayer archive nodes, from $699/mo, with trace and historical queries unmetered. Debug and trace methods are on for full nodes too, within their state window.
Can I run a GateLayer validator with Argusnodes?
An OP-stack L2 with Gate-operated sequencing; no public validator role documented. We run every node type the chain actually offers and none it does not.
Can I move my GateLayer endpoint from another provider?
Yes. A dedicated GateLayer 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 GateLayer 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 GateLayer 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 GateLayer chain ID?
10088 (hex 0x2768), per GateLayer's official documentation. A dedicated GateLayer node answers eth_chainId with it, so wallets and libraries configured for GateLayer work against your endpoint unchanged.
What is the GateLayer RPC URL?
Public GateLayer RPC URLs from the chain registry that answered our weekly check on chain ID 10088: https://gatelayer-mainnet.gatenode.cc. GateLayer's official documentation (www.gatechain.io) 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 GateLayer RPC URL of your own, on your domain if you want, that nobody else uses.
Is GateLayer RPC free?
Yes, public GateLayer 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 GateLayer node is the paid option for an app, bot or indexer, at one fixed monthly price.
What is the best GateLayer 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 GateLayer to MetaMask with my own RPC URL?
Add a network manually with the chain ID 10088, the currency symbol GT and your private GateLayer 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.
