GIWA RPC · Ready to deploy

Dedicated GIWA RPC node. A private GIWA RPC endpoint that only you use: no rate limits, every method on, one fixed monthly price.

GIWA (Global Infrastructure for Web3 Access) is an Ethereum Layer 2 built on the OP Stack by Dunamu, the company behind Upbit, Korea's largest exchange, with 1-second blocks and ETH for gas. GIWA Sepolia (chain ID 91342) is the live network today; mainnet is under development with no date published.

Mainnet sinceNo mainnet yet (under development, no date published); GIWA Sepolia testnet live, chain ID 91342
Official hardware guidanceFor 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 noteThe 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 buildMeets 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 GIWA recently

  • 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 ↗

Public GIWA RPC · checked 2 Nov 2026

Public GIWA RPC URLs, checked every week.

Free, shared GIWA endpoints from the chain registry that answered eth_chainId with 91342 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 GIWA RPC endpoint.

Before you order

Dedicated GIWA RPC node: the questions buyers ask.

What is a GIWA RPC node?

A server running GIWA'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 GIWA RPC node?

A GIWA 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 GIWA 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 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 $319/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, 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 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, quoted per setup, 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 move my GIWA endpoint from 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.

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?

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 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.

What is the GIWA RPC URL?

Public GIWA RPC URLs from the chain registry that answered our weekly check on chain ID 91342: https://sepolia-rpc.giwa.io. GIWA's official documentation (docs.giwa.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 GIWA RPC URL of your own, on your domain if you want, that nobody else uses.

Is GIWA RPC free?

Yes, public GIWA 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 GIWA node is the paid option for an app, bot or indexer, at one fixed monthly price.

What is the best GIWA 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 GIWA to MetaMask with my own RPC URL?

Add a network manually with the chain ID 91342, the currency symbol ETH and your private GIWA 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.
