Introducing Updated EigenDA Pricing: Unlocking Greater Value and Accessibility
EigenDA’s mission is to scale the decentralized world by making reliable, scalable, and secure data availability (‘DA’) abundant. In pursuit of this goal, and enabled by the scalability of its design, EigenDA strives to be the most price-performant DA solution.
Today, we are pleased to announce a 10x reduction in EigenDA pricing for both on-demand and reserved bandwidth customers.
In addition, we are introducing a ‘free tier’ with up to 1.28KiB/s in throughput for developers to get started on mainnet for up to 12 months.
What does this mean for customers now?
Note that both previous and new pricing will start to apply once payments go live later this year. Please get in touch with us if you are launching soon.
As always, testnet remains free to use, but by default is rate limited to 3.1 KiB/s and testnet network performance can be highly variable. If you'd like to run tests at higher throughputs please contact us and we can work with you to design a performance and scalability test.
The new EigenDA pricing can be found below:
Where do the bandwidth payments go?
EigenDA distributes most of the fees as rewards to the stakers and operators that power the network. Eigen Labs will use a portion of the fees to fund development and operating costs, which include cloud costs and gas fees paid to Ethereum L1 for bridging DA certificates.
