Private opBNB RPC Endpoints on a Dedicated Node

A dedicated opBNB RPC node runs on single-tenant bare-metal hardware reserved for you: CPU, RAM, NVMe storage, and network port are yours alone. Shared RPC endpoints split capacity across many users, so when demand spikes they throttle requests or add latency. A dedicated setup avoids that and lets you control the full stack, from the op-geth execution client to the BNB Smart Chain L1 RPC connection your op-node needs.

opBNB is an OP Stack (Bedrock) L2 rollup, so it uses the same two-component design as Optimism and Base: an execution client (op-geth) and a rollup node (op-node). The execution client handles state, transaction processing, and RPC queries; the rollup node derives L2 blocks from BNB Smart Chain (its L1). You also need a reliable BSC L1 RPC endpoint. With full root access you install, configure, and update these on your own schedule.

opBNB Mainnet uses Chain ID 204 with BNB as the native gas token and roughly 1 second block times. opBNB Testnet uses Chain ID 5611 with tBNB. Built on the OP Stack, opBNB is an optimistic rollup that settles to BNB Smart Chain, targeting 4,000+ TPS and sub-cent fees. The block explorers are opbnbscan.com and opbnb.bscscan.com.

A full node keeps current state and recent history and serves most RPC queries: balances, contract reads, receipts, and recent logs. opBNB full nodes can use PBSS (path-based) storage with online pruning to stay smaller. An archive node retains full historical trie data at every block height using HBSS, which is needed for eth_call at older blocks, historical balances, and deep event-log scans. Archive needs significantly more storage and RAM.

Yes. opBNB is an L2 rollup that derives its blocks from BNB Smart Chain (its L1), so the op-node component reads from a BSC L1 RPC endpoint to verify batch submissions and reconstruct the L2 chain. You can use your own BSC node or a reliable third-party L1 RPC. The quality of your L1 source directly affects whether your opBNB node stays in sync.

Yes. opBNB exposes standard Ethereum JSON-RPC, so it works with ethers.js, viem, Web3.js, and Web3.py, and with frameworks like Hardhat, Foundry, and Truffle. As an OP Stack chain it shares the same tooling ecosystem as Optimism and Base. You point your provider at your dedicated RPC URL and use the eth, net, web3, debug, txpool, and trace namespaces your app needs.

Keep RPC ports 8545 (HTTP), 8546 (WebSocket), and 8551 (Engine API) private until allowlists and rate limits are configured, and open the P2P ports op-geth and op-node use for peer discovery and sync. Exposing RPC ports publicly without protection invites abuse, so put a reverse proxy with authentication or IP filtering in front before any external access.

No. Unlike shared RPC providers that bill per "compute unit" and throttle you past a quota, a dedicated node is a flat monthly price with unlimited requests and zero overages. One node equals all the throughput your hardware can serve. That makes budgeting predictable and removes the surprise bills that come with usage-based RPC pricing.

Shared RPC pools serve thousands of customers from pooled infrastructure, so you inherit rate limits, noisy-neighbor latency, and compute-unit billing. A RedSwitches node runs on single-tenant bare metal that is yours alone: reserved CPU, RAM, and NVMe, a dedicated 10/25 Gbps port, and a private endpoint you control. Performance tracks your hardware, not another tenant's traffic.

No. We provision from current snapshots so your node is live in hours rather than syncing from genesis for days. You can run it yourself with full root access, or choose our fully managed option where our engineers handle the sync, updates, and monitoring. Either way you receive a working private endpoint, not an empty server.

Yes. With 20+ Tier III locations across the US, EU, Asia, and Australia you can place your node in the same region as your users or a chain's sequencer to cut round-trip latency. Tell us your target region and we will recommend the closest facility. You can also run multi-region nodes for redundancy and split read and write endpoints.
