Blockchain storage

You can store data records on the blockchain. A record is stored permanently: it cannot be changed, deleted, or modified by anyone and will be stored on the blockchain forever.

Store a log record

2 credits per API call + additional credits based on the size of the stored data and the type of the blockchain

Store data on the blockchain.

The total cost of a transaction on Ethereum (in credits) depends on the size of the data. The data is stored as a string in the hexadecimal format, and the maximum size of the data is approximately 130 kB on the mainnet and 30 kB on testnet. Every 5 characters cost 1 credit.
Therefore, one API call with 1 kB of data (1024 characters) would cost 205 credits.

This API is supported for the following blockchains:

  • BNB Smart Chain
  • Celo
  • Elrond
  • Ethereum (only the mainnet or the Sepolia testnet)
  • Harmony
  • Klaytn
  • Polygon
  • XDC
