Optimism full node

Self-host an Optimism OP Stack full node — op-geth and op-node — with Toolkit install, snapshot, and sync.

Client

op-geth + op-node

RPC

Ethereum JSON-RPC (eth_* )

History

Full OP Stack history after init. Not a 7-day window.

Optimism needs the execution client and the rollup node. Toolkit installs both from the catalog pin and walks snapshot/init before start.

Mainnet and Sepolia are supported. Public RPC is the Go proxy in front of localhost, sized for high concurrent eth_* load.

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 → Optimismmainnet.
  3. Confirm ports, choose install options if this chain has them, install op-geth + op-node, 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 Optimism full node?
Install the host agent, add the server, then Add node → Optimism. Toolkit provisions op-geth + op-node.
Can I change the Optimism 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 OP Stack history after init. Not a 7-day window.
