What is a Compute Unit (CU)? A CU measures computational resources consumed by an API request. Simple calls like eth_blockNumber cost ~10 CUs.

Overage? Paid plans offer optional overage billing for usage beyond your monthly allocation.

Stake-to-Unlock: Boost Free Tier with Crypto​

Want more than 150M CUs without monthly payments? Stake crypto to unlock additional capacity.

How It Works​

Lock USDC, USDT, ETH, WETH, WBTC, or any ERC-20 token (GNO, DAI, LINK, etc.). We stake your assets on Ethereum validators and use the yield to cover your infrastructure costs. You get boosted CUs with no recurring fees.

Other ERC-20 tokens are automatically swapped to USDC via 1inch before staking (you pay swap fees).

Key Benefits​

  • No recurring payments - Your staked capital generates yield that covers infrastructure
  • Flexible unstaking - Withdraw anytime with 48-hour processing (no penalty)
  • Optional lockup bonuses - Lock for longer to earn bonus CUs
  • Full principal returned - Get your stake back whenever you unstake
