Fees & Limits
In order for the network to be sustainable & decentralized, Gelato Nodes charge fees for running off-chain computation and executing transactions.
Our default method is to pay for all your Web3 Function costs across all networks from a single balance using Gelato 1Balance. We offer, though the possibility that every transaction pays for itself. Please visit Paying for your transactions for further info.
We offer a range of subscription plans - ranging from Accelerate - a free plan subsidized by Gelato that provides all the essentials to get started - all the way through to an Enterprise Plan with custom computation limits and execution premiums.
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.
Gelato Nodes limit the amount of computational resources that your Web3 functions can consume based on the limits set out in your Subscription Plan.
Each subscription plan has limits. For example, on our free Accelerate plan your Web3 Functions usage is limited to:
- Number of runs per month: 90,000
- RPC requests per run: 5 calls
- Maximum run duration: 5 secs
- Max memory per run: 128mb
- Max storage size per function: 1024 kb (1 mb)
If you exceed these limits your Web3 Function runs will be throttled. If you have any questions or would like to discuss your subscription, please reach out to us here.
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 |
ZkSync Era | 50 |
Gnosis | 100 |
Linea | 50 |
Base | 50 |
Polygon zkEvm | 50 |
