Pricing and Rate Limits

Node usage is measured in Tenderly Units (TUs) based on the number of requests your dapp is making. The requests are divided into four categories and consume different amounts of TU:


CategoryUsage costExample calls
Read1 TUeth_getBalance, eth_getTransactionByHash
Compute4 TUeth_call, eth_estimateGas
Write20 TUeth_sendRawTransaction
Advanced Compute400 TUtenderly_simulateTransaction, tenderly_traceTransaction, debug_traceCall, debug_traceTransaction, trace_transaction, trace_callMany

To calculate the usage over a period of time, multiply the number of requests by the usage in TU of the request category. For example, if your dapp makes 1000 read requests and 100 write requests, the usage is:

  • 1,000 reads x 1 TU = 1,000 TUs
  • 100 writes x 20 TUs = 2,000 TUs
  • Total: 3,000 TUs

Toggle the dropdown to see a list of the supported RPC methods for each category. See also RPC Reference.
