Trace depth and archive semantics
Base inherits Ethereum’s JSON-RPC surface. Heavy traces behave like other execution clients: confirm the blocks
you care about on staging before you rely on deep-window debug_traceTransaction in production.
When in doubt, pair Base with our Ethereum archive RPC for L1 anchor reads.
Endpoint: base.etox.io
Authenticated requests use the same API-key-first path pattern as Ethereum and Arbitrum. WebSocket RPC is
available under the /ws/ prefix for subscriptions op-reth supports. Rate limits and CU weights are
enforced per key at the gateway; chain-specific methods are listed in our documentation.
Why Base teams evaluate etox
- Transparent bare-metal footprint instead of anonymous shared pools
- Aligned Pro pricing ($49/mo) with published CU tables
- Honest comparison vs splash-page providers — see vs Competitor 2
