Fees & Limits
In order for the network to be sustainable & decentralized, Gelato Nodes charge fees for running off-chain computation and executing transactions.
Gelato Nodes will charge computation charges, similar to what you are used to in AWS or Google Cloud. The more computation your Web3 Functions require to run, the more costs Gelato Nodes have and thus need to get compensated.
For the private Beta, Gelato Nodes limit the amount of computational resources that your Web3 functions can consume to the following limits.
- Number of runs per month: 100,000
- RPC requests per run: 10 calls
- Maximum run duration: 10 secs
- Max memory per run: 256mb
- Max storage size per function: 1mb
If you require more resources, please reach out to us here to get you on a whitelist for a higher resource allowance.
The limits above are soft limits during Beta
Your task will not be stopped if you exceed the number of runs. A Web3 Function run will only be restricted by a hard limit of 100 RPC calls per run or runs for more than 30 seconds.
Each transaction that Gelato Nodes execute require a small fee to incentivize Nodes to adhere to the protocol and get your transactions included into your desired blockchain in a fast and secure fashion.
To achieve this, Nodes charge a fee as a percentage of total gas cost for the executed transaction. This varies across networks - Nodes charge higher premiums on cheaper networks and vice versa.
Network | Percentage Premium (%) |
|---|---|
Ethereum | 20 |
Polygon | 70 |
BNB | 30 |
Avalanche | 40 |
Fantom | 50 |
Arbitrum | 50 |
Optimism | 50 |
Gnosis | 100 |
