Archive Node RPC

Gnosis Archive Node RPC

Query the full history of Gnosis — balances, contract storage, and transaction traces at any past block — with archive node access included on every paid SwiftNodes plan. No separate archive tier, no per-request fees.

Endpoint

https://rpc.swiftnodes.io/rpc/gnosis?key=YOUR_API_KEY

Archive queries use the same Gnosis HTTP endpoint — just pass a historical block tag. The matching WebSocket endpoint is wss://rpc.swiftnodes.io/ws/gnosis?key=YOUR_API_KEY.

Query historical Gnosis state

// Read historical state at a past block on Gnosis (archive query)
const balanceAtBlock = await client.getBalance({
  address: "0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000",
  blockNumber: 1_000_000n,
});

// Replay a transaction's execution trace (requires archive data)
const trace = await fetch("https://rpc.swiftnodes.io/rpc/gnosis?key=YOUR_API_KEY", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    jsonrpc: "2.0", id: 1,
    method: "debug_traceTransaction",
    params: ["0x<txhash>", { tracer: "callTracer" }],
  }),
}).then((r) => r.json());

What archive access unlocks

  • eth_getBalance / eth_call at any historical block number
  • eth_getStorageAt for contract storage at a past block
  • debug_traceTransaction to replay and inspect old transactions
  • Point-in-time analytics, accounting, and reconciliation

Gnosis is an EVM Layer 1 (proof-of-stake), with ~~5 seconds block times and ~30 seconds (epoch finality similar to ethereum) finality. Historical queries reach back across its entire chain history.

Frequently asked questions

Does SwiftNodes offer Gnosis archive node access?

Yes. Archive access for Gnosis — querying state at any historical block — is included on every paid plan. There is no separate, more expensive "archive tier" to upgrade to.

What's the difference between a full node and an archive node?

A full node keeps only recent state (typically the last ~128 blocks) and prunes older state. An archive node retains the complete historical state, so you can read balances, storage, and run traces at any past block on Gnosis.

Is Gnosis archive access an extra charge?

No. Unlike providers that gate archive behind a premium tier, SwiftNodes includes archive queries in all paid plans for supported chains, billed at the same flat monthly rate.

See the full Gnosis RPC page for chain details, or the API reference for the complete method list.
