Base RPC infrastructure
Base RPC from htw.tech provides dedicated endpoints for Base mainnet (Chain ID 8453) with JSON-RPC, WebSocket, and full archive node support — optimized for OP Stack scaling and Coinbase ecosystem integrations.
Core features
Production specs: <20ms to major hubs, 99.99% SLA, unlimited RPS on dedicated nodes, DDoS protection, and per–API-key isolation — plus archive, tracing, and blobs.
Low latency to global hubs
Median under 20ms to major PoPs; routing tuned for Coinbase Wallet–friendly paths and global desks.
DDoS & API isolation
Edge protection, per-key quotas, and dedicated egress options so workloads stay isolated.
Archive, OP Stack & blobs
Full archive from genesis (block 1+), OP Stack–aware tracing, and blob support post-Dencun for L2 DA.
Unlimited RPS (dedicated)
Unmetered JSON-RPC on dedicated nodes with headroom for Aerodrome-scale volume and AI agents.
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Latency | <20ms |
| Uptime | 99.99% SLA |
| RPS | Unlimited (dedicated) |
Performance
Tuned for trending Base DeFi (Aerodrome, Baseswap), NFT drops, and AI agents — with sequencer-level visibility, private peering in NYC and Singapore, auto-scaling for memecoin pumps, and debug_trace for audits. EIP-4844 blobs, bridge queries to Ethereum L1, and OP Stack–friendly traces when enabled.
US East + Asia footprint
Private peering toward NYC / US East for Coinbase-adjacent routes, plus Singapore and Thailand for low RTT across APAC.
Load profile
Auto-scaling keeps p99 stable when Base volume spikes during trending DeFi or viral mints.
Steady state
Typical wallets, indexers, and bots between hype cycles
Burst (pumps)
Memecoin / NFT spikes — ~10k RPS on dedicated lanes
Security & compliance
Dedicated nodes, KYB-ready invoices (KGS/USD), SOC2-style isolation for IT vendors, MEV protection options, and private mempool workflows — no shared-infra surprises during drops or incidents.
- OP Stack–aligned monitoring and upgrade-aware runbooks
- Bridge compliance patterns for L1 ↔ L2 messaging and deposits
- Optional private mempool / MEV workflows for sensitive flow
- 24/7 escalation on enterprise deployments
Technical integration
Use viem, ethers.js, or Web3.js. Dashboard covers gas, blob usage, and sequencer status. 14-day trial with pre-configured Base endpoints — pricing is custom; talk to us on Discord for a quote.

FAQ
What latency can Coinbase Wallet users expect?
We target US East and global anycast so embedded clients see low RTT to our Base edges. The end user's ISP and region still matter.
How do I access blob data?
Blob fields and related RPC namespaces are available on enabled tiers so you can track post-Dencun DA traffic — scope depends on your endpoint configuration.
How do you handle sequencer downtime?
We monitor sequencer health and surface status in the dashboard. During rare L2 incidents we help with failover guidance and L1 bridge reads where applicable.
Can I run standard L1 bridge queries?
Yes — common bridge contract calls and cross-domain patterns work with viem, ethers, or Web3.js against your Base URL.
Are trial limits relaxed during Base hype events?
Trials include fair-use burst buffers. For big launches, contact us on Discord beforehand so we can pre-scale capacity.
Is this EVM + OP Stack compatible?
Yes — Chain ID 8453 mainnet, standard JSON-RPC and WebSocket, plus debug_trace-style methods where enabled for audits and indexers.
