EigenDA Unveils New Pricing Model to Enhance Data Availability

EigenDA,
a
leading
provider
of
decentralized
data
availability
solutions,
has
announced
a
significant
update
to
its
pricing
model,
according
to
the

EigenLayer
Blog.
This
update
aims
to
make
reliable,
scalable,
and
secure
data
availability
more
accessible
to
developers
and
businesses.

New
Pricing
Structure

In
a
major
move,
EigenDA
has
reduced
its
pricing
by
a
factor
of
ten
for
both
on-demand
and
reserved
bandwidth
customers.
Additionally,
the
company
has
introduced
a ‘free
tier’
that
offers
up
to
1.28KiB/s
in
throughput
for
developers
to
get
started
on
the
mainnet
for
up
to
12
months.
This
initiative
is
expected
to
lower
the
entry
barriers
for
new
developers
and
projects
looking
to
leverage
EigenDA’s
services.

Impact
on
Current
and
Future
Customers

The
new
pricing
will
be
applicable
once
payments
go
live
later
this
year.
Existing
and
new
customers
are
encouraged
to
contact
EigenDA
if
they
are
planning
to
launch
soon.
While
the
testnet
remains
free
to
use,
it
is
rate-limited
to
3.1
KiB/s.
Customers
requiring
higher
throughput
for
testing
can
reach
out
to
EigenDA
to
design
a
performance
and
scalability
test
tailored
to
their
needs.

Benefits
for
Stakers
and
Operators

The
fees
collected
from
bandwidth
payments
will
largely
be
distributed
as
rewards
to
the
stakers
and
operators
that
power
the
EigenDA
network.
A
portion
of
the
fees
will
also
be
allocated
to
cover
development
and
operating
costs,
including
cloud
services
and
gas
fees
for
bridging
DA
certificates
to
Ethereum
L1.

Next
Steps
for
Interested
Parties

Developers
and
businesses
interested
in
testing
or
launching
on
the
mainnet
are
encouraged

on
the
official
EigenLayer

This
new
pricing
model
is
expected
to
significantly
enhance
the
accessibility
and
affordability
of
decentralized
data
availability,
furthering
EigenDA’s
mission
to
scale
the
decentralized
world.
