Why we don't charge for RPC

Every Solana infrastructure provider operates on the same assumption: bandwidth is expensive, so users must pay subscription fees for RPC, gRPC, and WebSocket access. That assumption is wrong - or at least, irrelevant to us.

The cost of serving Solana data is dominated by one thing: moving bytes across the public internet. When a provider runs RPC nodes in one place and your application lives somewhere else, every account lookup, every subscription, every transaction crosses a metered network boundary. Someone pays for that - and it's you.

The cost driver disappears on-network

When you purchase a server from OpenInfra.sh, that server lives inside our network. Data between your application and the Solana cluster travels through our private fabric. It never touches the public internet, so the economics of bandwidth change completely.

We're not absorbing a cost to give you something for free. We're eliminating the cost that other providers must pass on to you.

What “included” actually means

• →Full JSON-RPC with no rate limits on your dedicated endpoint.
• →Yellowstone gRPC streaming for accounts, transactions, and blocks.
• →WebSocket subscriptions with unlimited concurrent connections.
• →ShredStream - pre-confirmation data straight from the block engine.

This is not a free tier. Not a community endpoint. Not a soft trial. It is the same premium infrastructure your production application demands - bundled with the compute you were going to buy anyway.

Why we think this is the right model

Every developer who doesn't pay a separate RPC bill is a developer who can spend more on their product. When infrastructure is open and included, the whole ecosystem moves faster. That's the outcome we're optimizing for.
