What your GIWA dedicated node is built from.
Every chain fact below is taken from GIWA's official documentation (docs.giwa.io), last reviewed against it on 16 Sept 2026, not from what is convenient to sell. Where the documentation is silent, the row says so.
| Node software | op-reth, op-node |
| Interfaces | JSON-RPC, WebSocket |
| Full node | Yes, from $99/mo (light band) |
| Archive node | Yes, from $799/mo |
| Validator | GIWA is an OP Stack rollup: blocks come from the network sequencer and are settled on Ethereum, so there is no validator or staking role. Full nodes verify the chain and serve RPC. |
| Chain ID | 91342 |
| Gas token | ETH |
| Consensus | OP Stack optimistic rollup settling on Ethereum (Sepolia for the testnet), single sequencer, fault proofs via kona (CANNON_KONA) since Karst |
| Block time | 1 s |
| Finality | Ethereum L1 finality; Flashblocks preconfirmations in about 200 ms |
| Mainnet since | No mainnet yet (under development, no date published); GIWA Sepolia testnet live, chain ID 91342 |
| Official hardware guidance | For the Sepolia testnet the giwa-io/node README lists a minimum of 4 CPU cores, 8 GB RAM and a 500 GB NVMe disk, and recommends 8+ cores, 16+ GB RAM and 1+ TB. An Ethereum L1 (Sepolia) execution RPC and beacon endpoint are required alongside the node. No mainnet figures are published yet. source ↗ |
| Operator note | The official docker-compose runs op-reth (JSON-RPC on 8545, WebSocket on 8546, Engine API on 8551, p2p 30303) and op-node (RPC on 9545, p2p 9222), forwarding transactions to the sequencer at sepolia-sequencer.giwa.io. Weekly snapshots at sepolia-snapshot.giwa.io come in full or archive pruning for reth and geth and do not include the chain tip. Flashblocks preconfirmations arrive over wss://sepolia-flashblocks.giwa.io/ws when FLASHBLOCKS_WEBSOCKET_URL is set. The public RPC at sepolia-rpc.giwa.io is rate limited and the docs say it is not suitable for production. |
| Argusnodes build | Meets the official guidance above with headroom on top, never at the minimum. Your quote names the exact CPU, RAM and NVMe. |
| Locations | 18 Tier-3 cities across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific |
| SLA | 99.99% uptime, written, with credits |
What changed on GIWA recently (reviewed 16 Sept 2026)
- GIWA Sepolia (chain ID 91342, RPC sepolia-rpc.giwa.io, explorer sepolia-explorer.giwa.io) is the live network; the docs, the contracts page and the node repository all state that mainnet is under development, with no date published. source ↗
- 9 December 2025: Flashblocks enabled on GIWA Sepolia, returning transaction preconfirmations within a few hundred milliseconds (up to about 200 ms) instead of waiting for the 1-second block; a dedicated Flashblocks RPC runs at sepolia-rpc-flashblocks.giwa.io. source ↗
- 16 April 2026 notice: op-geth support ended on 31 May 2026 as the OP Stack moves to op-reth; operators were told to sync op-reth in parallel, compare block hashes, state roots and RPC output, then cut traffic over. op-geth cannot follow GIWA once Karst is active. source ↗
- 4 May 2026: Dunamu and the Optimism Foundation signed an MoU making GIWA the first chain on the Self-Managed tier of OP Enterprise; the Foundation describes GIWA as live on testnet with mainnet planned to follow. source ↗
- Upgrade 19 (Karst) activated on GIWA Sepolia on 6 July 2026 at 15:00 KST (timestamp 1783317600): Osaka EVM, a 16,777,216 per-transaction gas cap, BN256 pairing input capped at 300 pairs, fault proofs moved from CANNON to CANNON_KONA (kona-client) and the L2 Contract Manager. op-geth and op-program do not support it. source ↗
Choosing the GIWA client for the workload.
GIWA's documentation covers 2 node clients. You name the client, or describe the workload and we recommend one; either way it is built, synced and tuned for you.
The only supported execution client since the Karst hardfork; the official docker-compose builds it at v2.3.3 and offers snap-synced full (RETH_GCMODE=full), archive (RETH_GCMODE=archive) or consensus-driven sync, one at a time (https://github.com/giwa-io/node).
The rollup client, v1.19.1 in the official compose, driving op-reth over the Engine API (OP_NODE_L2_ENGINE_KIND=reth) with a Sepolia L1 RPC of kind debug_geth and an L1 beacon endpoint (https://github.com/giwa-io/node).
What to order for your GIWA workload.
Each card is a configuration you can pick above, with the reason it fits.
Trading bots and MEV
Order: Full node · WebSocket on · bot/MEV tuning · city nearest GIWA's block producers
Burst as hard as the strategy needs. No rate limits and no noisy neighbours on the hot path; we pick the city from latency measurement, not a map.
BUILT FOR BOTS →Indexing and analytics
Order: Archive node from $799/mo · indexing tuning
Backfills, trace and historical queries on GIWA run unmetered on your own machine.
BUILT FOR INDEXERS →dApps and wallets
Order: Full node · your domain · IP allowlist · city near your users
Serve your users from your own GIWA endpoint with unlimited connections and a 99.99% SLA in writing.
WHY DEDICATED →Exchanges and payments
Order: Full node · IP allowlist · transaction-heavy tuning · per-node monitoring
Deposit and withdrawal scanning on GIWA from an endpoint only your systems can reach.
BUILT FOR EXCHANGES →The GIWA RPC node provider comparison: Argusnodes vs QuickNode vs GetBlock vs Chainstack vs Helius vs Allnodes vs Zeeve vs RPC Fast.

The GIWA RPC node endpoint provider that hands you the keys.
Your GIWA endpoint lives on your own domain, locked to the IPs you allowlist, served from the city you choose across 18 Tier-3 datacentre locations. The node exposes JSON-RPC, WebSocket as documented by GIWA. Live p50 and p99 latency for your node streams to your dashboard, and the 99.99% SLA applies in writing. New to dedicated nodes? The dedicated RPC node guide covers the model end to end.
What you get on day one
- An HTTPS endpoint and a WebSocket (WSS) endpoint for your GIWA node, on your own domain if you want one
- Access locked to the IP addresses you allowlist
- A login to the Argusnodes dashboard: live p50 and p99 for your node, your orders and payments
- Engineers on ticket, chat, Telegram or Slack, 24/7
Your first request, once the node is live (rpc.yourdomain.com stands in for your endpoint):
curl https://rpc.yourdomain.com \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"eth_blockNumber","params":[]}'Chain facts on this page are sourced from GIWA's official documentation, and you can check them yourself:
GIWA dedicated node: the questions buyers ask.
What is a private GIWA RPC endpoint?
An RPC endpoint that only your applications use. It sits on a dedicated GIWA 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 GIWA node is live?
As soon as it has synced with the GIWA 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-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 $99/mo for my GIWA 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 GIWA node run on?
A machine that meets GIWA's official hardware guidance (quoted in the spec sheet on this page) with headroom on top. We never build at the minimum, because a node sized to the minimum becomes the bottleneck the day the chain grows. Your quote names the exact CPU, RAM and NVMe before you pay.
Can I test a GIWA node before I order?
We do not run free trials. Ask us for a latency report for GIWA from the city you want and you see the numbers before you order. Billing is monthly with no lock-in, so you can cancel at the end of any month.
Which GIWA client should I choose?
op-reth: The only supported execution client since the Karst hardfork; the official docker-compose builds it at v2.3.3 and offers snap-synced full (RETH_GCMODE=full), archive (RETH_GCMODE=archive) or consensus-driven sync, one at a time (https://github.com/giwa-io/node). op-node: The rollup client, v1.19.1 in the official compose, driving op-reth over the Engine API (OP_NODE_L2_ENGINE_KIND=reth) with a Sepolia L1 RPC of kind debug_geth and an L1 beacon endpoint (https://github.com/giwa-io/node).
Does Argusnodes run GIWA archive nodes and trace methods?
Yes. GIWA's documentation describes full-history operation; we run GIWA archive nodes from $799/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 GIWA validator with Argusnodes?
GIWA is an OP Stack rollup: blocks come from the network sequencer and are settled on Ethereum, so there is no validator or staking role. Full nodes verify the chain and serve RPC. We run every node type the chain actually offers and none it does not.
Can I migrate my GIWA endpoint from QuickNode, GetBlock, Chainstack or another provider?
Yes. A dedicated GIWA 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.
Which city should I pick for my GIWA node?
Any of 18 Tier-3 datacentre cities across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific. Deploy near your users for an app, or ask us where GIWA latency is lowest for a bot; we answer from measurement. Need a city we do not list? Ask.
Are there rate limits or connection caps on a dedicated GIWA 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 GIWA node, and can I cancel?
Visa, Mastercard, bank transfer or crypto, billed monthly; crypto payments need no KYC. Cancel at the end of any monthly term; the node is provisioned for you alone, so there is no meter to escape and no exit fee.
How does Argusnodes compare to QuickNode, GetBlock, Chainstack and other GIWA RPC providers?
Argusnodes is dedicated-only: a private GIWA endpoint on a bare-metal node with no rate limits, at one fixed price from $99/mo with every add-on included. Per their own pricing pages: QuickNode sells dedicated clusters through enterprise sales without published prices, Chainstack bills dedicated nodes per hour on top of a paid plan, and Zeeve applies monthly request allowances on dedicated plans below its Enterprise tier (all checked August 2026); GetBlock lists dedicated nodes from $1,000/mo, with IP allowlisting and a custom endpoint URL sold as $199/mo add-ons each (checked September 2026). The comparison table on this page links every source.
What is the GIWA chain ID?
91342 (hex 0x164ce), per GIWA's official documentation. A dedicated GIWA node answers eth_chainId with it, so wallets and libraries configured for GIWA work against your endpoint unchanged.
