base

Base full node

Run a self-hosted Base full node (mainnet or Sepolia) from the Toolkit catalog — same OP Stack flow as Optimism.

Client

op-geth / Reth (Base OP Stack)

RPC

Ethereum JSON-RPC (eth_* )

History

Full Base history after official init. Not a light endpoint.

Base is an OP Stack chain. Toolkit uses the Base catalog pin and official init artifacts, then shows honest sync on the node page.

You get standard Ethereum JSON-RPC on your host after the wizard finishes ports, install, and start.

Environments

mainnetsepolia

Install

  1. On Ubuntu 24.04 LTS:
    bash
    curl -fsSL "https://toolkit.rpcnode.dev/install/agent.sh" | sudo bash
    Supported and recommended: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (amd64 or arm64). Other operating systems have not been tested.
  2. Panel → Add server (Agent URL + token) → Add node → Basemainnet.
  3. Confirm ports, choose install options if this chain has them, install op-geth / Reth (Base OP Stack), snapshot if required, start. Watch sync on the node page.

Operate from the panel

After the node is up you manage it in the same UI — Node Config (edit the live files and apply), client updates, restart, logs, public RPC. You do not need SSH to change conf. Install-time choices (snapshot flavor, history window, disk layout) are stored on that node.

FAQ

How do I run a Base full node?
Install the host agent, add the server, then Add node → Base. Toolkit provisions op-geth / Reth (Base OP Stack).
Can I change the Base config later?
Yes. Node page → Node Config. Edit and apply; restart from the same page. A different snapshot or history flavor is an Install choice — changing it later usually means wipe and Add node again.
Pruned or light?
Full Base history after official init. Not a light endpoint.
