Yellowstone gRPC is a high-performance streaming service for Solana that delivers real-time blockchain data via gRPC. Pricing is based on bandwidth: the amount of data delivered as part of the stream.

  • When eth_sendUserOperation is called with a valid bundler sponsorship header (x-alchemy-policy-id), the CU cost is 3000 instead of the standard 1000.

We want builders to be able to use as much of the NFT API as they need without worrying about throughput. Because of that, we have discounted how NFT API requests count towards your applications’ guaranteed throughput by 6-10x. This means you can make more concurrent NFT API requests, and use the “Throughput CU” below to calculate how much you can use!

Webhooks and WebSocket Subscriptions on Alchemy are priced based on bandwidth: the amount of data delivered as part of the subscription.

Each subscription type is priced identically per byte:

BandwidthCU
1 byte.04

On average, a typical webhook or WebSocket subscription event is about 1000 bytes, so it would consume 40 compute units. Note that this can vary significantly based on the specific event delivered Subscription API Quickstart
