@wedtm Can also do this through the FDN, will publish data points soon.

Solana RPC pricing 101:

Credit RPC: 10 or 500 credits per call. Optimize your payload, save nothing.

PAYG RPC: $0.05 per 1k calls. 30 req/s = $3,900/mo.

@FluxRPC: $38/mo, 250 GB, flat. 30 req/s = $38/mo. Optimize, pay less.

@FluxRPC @solana True - We are also much faster intern.

[John M 🏗️👨‍💻 @defipro]

The hidden math of @solana RPC pricing

Most providers charge per credit or per call.

We charge per byte.

Here's what that actually means...

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Per 1,000 getAccountInfo calls
(Solana's most-called method):

@FluxRPC → $0.0000234
Credit provider → $0.05
PAYG provider → $0.01

FluxRPC vs Credit provider: 2,133× cheaper
FluxRPC vs PAYG provider: 428× cheaper

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

"But surely on heavy calls you lose?"

getProgramAccounts (5 MB payload):

FluxRPC → $0.293 per 1k calls
Credit provider → $0.500 per 1k calls
PAYG provider → $0.401 per 1k calls

Why?

One charges 10 credits per gPA call.
The other charges $10 per million calls flat.

FluxRPC just charges for the bytes.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Plan-for-plan capacity:

$38/mo FluxRPC = 655M getAccountInfo calls
$49/mo credit provider = 10M calls

$849/mo FluxRPC = 40.3B getAccountInfo calls
$999/mo credit provider = 200M calls

201x more calls.

$150 cheaper.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

gRPC streaming (1 TB/mo):

FluxRPC → $61.44
Credit provider → $157.29
PAYG provider → $81.92

Same gRPC. Different bill.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

And here's the part nobody talks about.

Just to ACCESS mainnet gRPC:

FluxRPC → $38/mo (Develop plan)
PAYG provider → $125 prepaid minimum
Credit provider → $499/mo (Business plan)

13x price gap before you stream a single byte.

Same data. Just paywalled differently.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

No credit games.
No method weighting.
No per-call fee addon.
No overage premiums.
No absurd gRPC paywall.

[John M 🏗️👨‍💻 @defipro]

@0xfablo @solana @FluxRPC For sure!

[John M 🏗️👨‍💻 @defipro]

@solana @MessariCrypto @AvgJoesCrypto @CloakdDev I think its about that time. Kingmaker Index needs to be released.

[John M 🏗️👨‍💻 @defipro]

What should I drop tomorrow?

Why the headline pricing on legacy @solana RPCs is misleading, and what customers actually pay once credits, per-call fees, and method weighting kick in?

or

The Solana Kingmaker Index?

[John M 🏗️👨‍💻 @defipro]

👏

[aaalex.hl @aaalexhl]

With what money?

Shouldn't your money be spent on supporting the Drift recovery fund for the $280m exploit?

[John M 🏗️👨‍💻 @defipro]

@CloakdDev I think you can make an arguement they have been since the right before the exploit tbh.

[John M 🏗️👨‍💻 @defipro]

The dev team has been tuning.

Light calls. Heavy calls. Doesn't matter.

@FluxRPC vs the legacy RPC's:

→ getMultipleAccounts
→ getProgramAccounts
→ getSlot

Faster. Across the board.

[FluxBeam @FluxBeamDEX]

Fluxbeam is joining @TheHUB as a @Fogo validator.

Colocating in bare-metal is what institutional order flow requires: predictable fills, deep liquidity, and latency that competes with traditional markets.

The model is already proven. Volume has migrated decisively to the venues running this architecture. This is the version of onchain trading we've been promised for years.

[John M 🏗️👨‍💻 @defipro]

@platis_e Tokyo!

You do an amazing job @platis_e! Wish dealing with everyone @solana was like you and your team!

[John M 🏗️👨‍💻 @defipro]

What about lighter calls like getslot?

average of 3 runs per provider each time.

@FluxRPC wins each one.

$15 gRPC.

What are you waiting for?

[John M 🏗️👨‍💻 @defipro]

gPA on OreV2

TTFB - @FluxRPC is
- 2x faster vs next best.
- 3x faster vs 3rd place.
- 8x faster vs 4th best.

Total Time - FluxRPC is
- 2x faster vs next best.
- 4x faster vs 3rd best.
- 5x faster vs 4th best.

Higher RPS, No credits, Faster.

If you haven't already - try it out!
