Ethereum RPC Credit Pricing
Simple, transparent Ethereum RPC pricing. Most calls cost a flat 1 credit, your credit balance is granted monthly by your subscription, and there is no complex compute-unit math to forecast.

50 Credits
per MB
Good to Know
- Credits are granted monthly by your subscription (Beta Plan includes 1M credits)
- WebSocket subscriptions follow the same pricing model
- Large response charges only apply when responses exceed 1KB
- Enterprise plans can negotiate custom credit packages

Pricing FAQ
How is Ethereum RPC pricing calculated on BLAZED.sh?
Most Ethereum methods cost 1 credit per call. A few heavy operations (txpool_content, trace_replayBlockTransactions, trace_replayTransaction) cost 4 credits, and responses larger than 100KB add 50 credits per MB. Your credit balance is granted monthly by your subscription.
How is credit pricing different from compute units?
Both are per-request models, but compute-unit gateways assign a different weight to every method, so your bill depends on your exact method mix and is hard to forecast. BLAZED.sh keeps a narrow weight spread (mostly 1 credit, occasionally 4) drawn from a monthly allowance granted by your subscription, so forecasting is counting rather than modeling.
Are WebSocket subscriptions billed the same way?
Yes. WebSocket subscriptions follow the same credit model as standard RPC calls.
What is included in the plan?
Your subscription grants a monthly credit balance; the Beta plan includes 1M credits, and Enterprise plans can negotiate custom credit packages. Pricing is still being finalized and may change.
