Pricing
Community‑first. Optimizations developed for large‑scale institutional services make the marginal cost of supporting individual validators extremely low. That allows us to keep Stakers.space accounts free for small stakers as a public good.
In short: Small stakers = free account (a public resource enabled by our optimized systems). Institutions / large operators = paid (operations, management, analytics, support). API may be billed by usage for heavy workloads, including small stakers when relevant.
Stakers.space is an open‑source platform offering practical guides, tools, and a privacy‑first dashboard for staking on networks secured by Proof of Stake (PoS).
Website
Free. All public guides, matrices, and resources are available at no charge. Content is open‑source and can be used for personal and educational purposes.
Account / Dashboard
A client‑side encrypted dashboard to monitor validators and organize node information.
- Individuals & small operators: Free — the efficiency of our large‑scale systems keeps marginal costs near zero, so we can offer this as a public good.
- Institutions / large operators: Paid — pricing based on scope (number of validators, SLAs, on‑call, reporting, custom features).
Note: if there were a sudden market shift (e.g., extreme increase in underlying asset prices) and large clients exited, we may revisit free tiers to keep the service sustainable. We’ll communicate changes in advance.
API
The Stakers.space API will use a credit‑based model. Credits are consumed per request or data unit to provide fair access and cost control.
- Light / occasional use: may be free or included with the account.
- Heavy workloads (polling, bulk analytics, enterprise integrations): billed by usage — applies to both small and large users when relevant.

FAQ
Why is the account free for small stakers?
Because our systems are optimized for large institutional workloads, the marginal cost of adding small stakers is extremely low. That lets us provide accounts for individuals as a public good.
Could the free tier change?
Only if sustainability is at risk (for example, a market event leading to a broad institutional exit). If that ever happens, we will announce changes in advance and provide migration options.
Do you charge for API usage by small users?
Light usage is often included. High‑volume workloads (e.g., frequent polling or analytics) may incur usage‑based fees to keep infrastructure fair and reliable for everyone.
