Dedicated Katana RPC node. A private Katana RPC endpoint that only you use: no rate limits, every method on, one fixed monthly price.
Katana is a DeFi-focused Ethereum layer-2 built on Agglayer's CDK OP Stack, with 1-second blocks, zk-proof-secured settlement and canonical connectivity to Ethereum through the Agglayer Unified Bridge.

What changed on Katana recently
- Katana mainnet opened publicly on 30 June 2025 (private mainnet ran from 28 May 2025). source ↗
- op-geth reached end-of-support on 31 May 2026 and does not support the now-active Karst hardfork; Katana's official node configs mark op-geth deprecated and tell all operators to run op-reth (v2.2.3 or later per OP docs). source ↗
- Official Katana node configs (op-reth v2.1.2 + op-node v1.19.3) and archive snapshots for mainnet (747474) and the Bokuto testnet (737373) are published in katana-network/network-configs; Bokuto is the only testnet listed in the docs. source ↗
- Katana publishes no official hardware figures for an RPC node; the only node guide is an external ClickUp document linked from the docs. source ↗

Public Katana RPC URLs, checked every week.
Free, shared Katana endpoints from the chain registry that answered eth_chainId with 747474 in our weekly check (3 of 3). Good for a wallet or a test; once an app, bot or indexer depends on it, move to a dedicated Katana RPC endpoint.

Dedicated Katana RPC node: the questions buyers ask.
What is a Katana RPC node?
A server running Katana'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 Katana RPC node?
A Katana 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 Katana 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 Katana RPC endpoint?
An RPC endpoint that only your applications use. It sits on a dedicated Katana 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 Katana node is live?
As soon as it has synced with the Katana 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 $139/mo for my Katana 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 Katana node run on?
A machine that meets Katana'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 Katana client should I choose?
op-reth: The supported execution client for Katana nodes (Conduit-built op-reth image), the one all operators are told to run after op-geth reached end-of-support. op-node: The OP Stack consensus/rollup node that derives the chain from L1 and drives the execution client.
Does Argusnodes run Katana archive nodes and trace methods?
Yes. Katana's documentation describes full-history operation; we run Katana 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 Katana validator with Argusnodes?
A zk-rollup L2 on the Agglayer CDK; official docs document no validator role. We run every node type the chain actually offers and none it does not.
Can I move my Katana endpoint from another provider?
Yes. A dedicated Katana 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 Katana 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 Katana 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 Katana chain ID?
747474 (hex 0xb67d2), per Katana's official documentation. A dedicated Katana node answers eth_chainId with it, so wallets and libraries configured for Katana work against your endpoint unchanged.
What is the Katana RPC URL?
Public Katana RPC URLs from the chain registry that answered our weekly check on chain ID 747474: https://rpc.katana.network, https://katana.gateway.tenderly.co/, https://rpc.katanarpc.com/. Katana's official documentation (docs.katana.network) 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 Katana RPC URL of your own, on your domain if you want, that nobody else uses.
Is Katana RPC free?
Yes, public Katana 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 Katana node is the paid option for an app, bot or indexer, at one fixed monthly price.
What is the best Katana 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 Katana to MetaMask with my own RPC URL?
Add a network manually with the chain ID 747474, the currency symbol ETH and your private Katana 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.
