Batch Token CU Cost

Batch CU Cost

Formula:

Batch CU Cost = N^exp × Base CU Cost

Where:

• N: Batch number.
• exp: Batch multiplier exponent.
  • 0.5 for Blockchain API endpoints.
  • 0.8 for all other API groups.
• Base CU Cost: The CU cost of requesting a single token using the corresponding multiple-token endpoint (different from the CU cost of the single-token endpoint).
• The Batch CU Cost is rounded up to the nearest whole number (0 decimal places).

Examples

Example 1: DeFi API

Request N = 10 tokens using /defi/multi_price:

Batch CU Cost = 10^0.8 × 3 = 18.93 → 19 CU

Example 2: Blockchain API

Request N = 100 accounts using /blockchain/v1/account/detail/multiple:

Batch CU Cost = 100^0.5 × 5 = 10 × 5 = 50 CU

Notes

• Using a batch endpoint is always more cost-efficient than making the equivalent number of single-endpoint requests.
• Users should consider purchasing a Business plan to access batch endpoints.
• The larger the batch size (N), the greater the effective discount. However, each endpoint has a maximum supported batch size (n_max), which must not be exceeded.
