Node API is now 50% cheaper
Our mission to bring 1 billion users onchain starts with you—the builders making web3 accessible to everyone.
You've been clear about what you need: a development platform that's both powerful and affordable. We've listened. That’s why we've optimized our infrastructure and Compute Unit (CU) costs to better support your journey. Our newly standardized CU costs bring more predictability, helping you better forecast expenses as your projects grow. Combined with our enhanced infrastructure, you get the most reliable and scalable infrastructure at the most affordable price point.
Last week, we announced price reductions on our Data API up to 40%; this week we’re passing on cost savings of 50% for Node API (with some customers seeing savings as high as 98%).
Accelerate development onchain, affordably.
📢 Announcing lower costs across 60+ Node API methods. Some builders may even see savings up to 98% → view complete list.
More calls, lower costs
Five of your most-used methods are now significantly cheaper:
Compute Unit (CU) Costs made simple
For you sharp-eyed readers, yes we are now standardizing our Compute Unit (CU) costs across all our Node API methods. Now all Node API methods on all chains will either be 0, 10, 20, 40, or 80 CU, with very few exceptions.
We hope this will make your billing easier to understand and help with forecasting your usage!

Most reliable web3 Infrastructure, now more affordable
We’ve improved our infrastructure’s reliability, scalability and chain support while reducing Compute Unit (CU) costs. Our robust infrastructure remains the key differentiator that powers the biggest names in Web3.
Battle-tested reliability: Our reliability and support team keeps your dapps running
Unlimited scalability: Our architecture is built to handle massive scale, from hobby projects to top teams throughout different cycles (Worldchain, Polymarket, EigenLayer)
30+ chains: We integrated new chains at lightning speed to meet your needs
The power of a complete developer platform
The Node API is the foundation of our comprehensive web3 development platform. Combined with our Data API costs, you now have access to the most robust and affordable solution for building web3 applications and launching your own chain.
