Gelato Units (G-units)

We’re introducing a new way to measure your usage: Gelato Units, or G-Units. G-Units are a straightforward way to calculate how much computing power your tasks use. They replace the old method of counting each task run, allowing you to run more tasks with less resource use. If your tasks are simple and use fewer resources, you can do more of them each month. The less computing power you use, the more tasks you can run—making G-Units a fairer way to measure and pay for what you actually use.

Transaction Simulation
Each time a solidity or a typescript function returns an executable payload, we verify that the transaction is not reverting
1 GU
You decide when your Function triggers; running it more often will use up more G-Units. For instance, if a task is executed with every new block on the Polygon network, it will use more G-Units than if it’s scheduled to execute just once at month’s end.

Payments

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. Learn more about it by heading over the linked page:

1Balance

Learn more about 1Balance.
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.

​
Transaction Charges

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.

Transaction pays for itself

You can also choose to have your function pay the fee during executions. It must be remembered that running Web3 Functions has computational costs. Please see here the Free Tier limits, in the case that the Web3 Functions goes above these limits, 1Balance will be also required to pay for the computational costs. This can be done by inheriting AutomateReady. 
contract CounterWT is AutomateReady {
    uint256 public count;
    uint256 public lastExecuted;

    constructor(address _automate, address _taskCreator)
        AutomateReady(_automate, _taskCreator)
    {}

    receive() external payable {}

    function increaseCount(uint256 amount) external onlyDedicatedMsgSender {
        count += amount;
        lastExecuted = block.timestamp;

        (uint256 fee, address feeToken) = _getFeeDetails();

        _transfer(fee, feeToken);
    }
}
In the increaseCount function, we use _transfer inherited from AutomateReady to pay Gelato. _transfer has two parameters, fee and feeToken which has to be queried from the Automate contract by using getFeeDetails() To create a task that pays for itself, head over to the task properties and enable the ‘Transaction pays itself’ Transaction Pays Itself Option
