Summary

Runs a Base node for production environments. Covers hardware requirements, Reth client setup, networking, and sync troubleshooting. Use when setting up self-hosted RPC infrastructure or running archive nodes. Covers phrases like "run a Base node", "set up Base RPC", "Base node h

1	# Running a Base Node
2
3	For production apps requiring reliable, unlimited RPC access.
4
5	## Security
6
7	- Restrict RPC access — bind to `127.0.0.1` or a private interface, never expose RPC ports (`8545`/`8546`) to the public internet without authentication
8	- Firewall rules — only open ports 9222 (Discovery v5) and 30303 (P2P) to the public; block all other inbound traffic
9	- Run as a non-root user with minimal filesystem permissions
10	- Use TLS termination (reverse proxy with nginx/caddy) if exposing the RPC endpoint to remote clients
11	- Monitor for unauthorized access — log and alert on unexpected RPC calls or connection spikes
12
13	## Hardware Requirements
14
15	- CPU: 8-Core minimum
16	- RAM: 16 GB minimum
17	- Storage: NVMe SSD, formula: `(2 × chain_size) + snapshot_size + 20% buffer`
18
19	## Networking
20
21	Required Ports:
22	- Port 9222: Critical for Reth Discovery v5
23	- Port 30303: P2P Discovery & RLPx
24
25	If these ports are blocked, the node will have difficulty finding peers and syncing.
26
27	## Client Selection
28
29	Use Reth for Base nodes. Geth Archive Nodes are no longer supported.
30
31	Reth provides:
32	- Better performance for high-throughput L2
33	- Built-in archive node support
34
35	## Syncing
36
37	- Initial sync takes days
38	- Consumes significant RPC quota if using external providers
39	- Use snapshots to accelerate (check Base docs for URLs)
40
41	## Sync Status
42
43	Incomplete sync indicator: `Error: nonce has already been used` when deploying.
44
45	Verify sync:
46	- Compare latest block with explorer
47	- Check peer connections
48	- Monitor logs for progress
