Dedicated Gnosis RPC node. A private Gnosis RPC endpoint that only you use: no rate limits, every method on, one fixed monthly price.
Gnosis Chain is an EVM layer-1 running the same client stack as Ethereum, using the xDAI stablecoin for gas and GNO for validator staking.

Gnosis node requirements, and what we build.
Chain facts from Gnosis's official documentation (docs.gnosischain.com). Where it is silent, the row says so.
| Node software | Nethermind, Erigon, Reth, Geth |
| Interfaces | JSON-RPC |
| Full node | Yes, from $399/mo |
| Archive node | Yes, quoted per setup |
| Validator | Public validator role; quoted per setup |
| Chain ID | 100 |
| Gas token | xDAI |
| Official hardware guidance | Node baseline: CPU with at least 4 threads, at least 16 GB of RAM, NVMe SSD (preferred) or SATA SSD; docs note disk space is the bottleneck and requirements vary by client and release. 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 Gnosis recently
- Pectra activated on Gnosis mainnet 30 April 2025 (epoch 1337856) requiring Nethermind v1.31.9 / Erigon v3.0.2 / Geth v1.15.10-gc / Gnosis Reth and updated CL clients. source ↗
- Docs stress client diversity since Nethermind is the supermajority client; minority EL choice recommended for validators. source ↗

Public Gnosis RPC URLs, checked every week.
Free, shared Gnosis endpoints from the chain registry that answered eth_chainId with 100 in our weekly check (5 of 10). Good for a wallet or a test; once an app, bot or indexer depends on it, move to a dedicated Gnosis RPC endpoint.

Dedicated Gnosis RPC node: the questions buyers ask.
What is a Gnosis RPC node?
A server running Gnosis's node software (Nethermind, Erigon, 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 Gnosis RPC node?
A Gnosis 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 Gnosis 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 Gnosis RPC endpoint?
An RPC endpoint that only your applications use. It sits on a dedicated Gnosis 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 Gnosis node is live?
As soon as it has synced with the Gnosis 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 (Nethermind, Erigon, Reth, Geth), 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 $399/mo for my Gnosis 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 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 Gnosis node run on?
A machine that meets Gnosis'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 Gnosis client should I choose?
Nethermind: Holds the supermajority client position on Gnosis and documents a full archive sync mode (2-6 weeks); docs nudge operators to consider Erigon for diversity (https://docs.gnosischain.com/node/manual/execution/nethermind). Erigon: Archive node via --prune.mode=archive set before first start, or --prune.mode=minimal for low-disk validators (https://docs.gnosischain.com/node/manual/execution/erigon). Reth: Gnosis-compatible Reth built as an extension (not a fork) via the NodeBuilder API; requires importing a post-merge state to start (https://docs.gnosischain.com/node/manual/execution/reth). Geth: Ported to Gnosis Chain (gc builds, e.g. v1.15.10-gc for Pectra); docs give install commands only, no archive or sizing guidance (https://docs.gnosischain.com/node/manual/execution/geth).
Does Argusnodes run Gnosis archive nodes and trace methods?
Yes. Gnosis's documentation describes full-history operation; we run Gnosis 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 Gnosis validator with Argusnodes?
Yes. Gnosis has a public validator role, and we operate validators under the same monitoring and support as RPC nodes, quoted per setup. Pick "Validator" in the configurator and describe the stake setup.
Can I move my Gnosis endpoint from another provider?
Yes. A dedicated Gnosis node speaks the same JSON-RPC interface 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 Gnosis 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 Gnosis 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 Gnosis chain ID?
100 (hex 0x64), per Gnosis's official documentation. A dedicated Gnosis node answers eth_chainId with it, so wallets and libraries configured for Gnosis work against your endpoint unchanged.
What is the Gnosis RPC URL?
Public Gnosis RPC URLs from the chain registry that answered our weekly check on chain ID 100: https://rpc.gnosischain.com, https://rpc.gnosis.gateway.fm, https://gnosis.api.onfinality.io/public. Gnosis's official documentation (docs.gnosischain.com) 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 Gnosis RPC URL of your own, on your domain if you want, that nobody else uses.
Is Gnosis RPC free?
Yes, public Gnosis 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 Gnosis node is the paid option for an app, bot or indexer, at one fixed monthly price.
What is the best Gnosis 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 Gnosis to MetaMask with my own RPC URL?
Add a network manually with the chain ID 100, the currency symbol xDAI and your private Gnosis 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.
