Tatum: blockchain RPC nodes and APIs for developers, from free to Scale

Shopping at Tatum? See all current Tatum promo codes and deals, checked regularly.

Tatum is for developers and product teams who need to read from and write to blockchains without running their own nodes. It provides RPC gateways to more than 100 networks, from Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana to Base, Arbitrum, Polygon and Tron, with failover, load balancing and caching built in. On top of the raw RPC layer there's a Data API, real-time notifications (webhooks) for on-chain events, MPC smart wallets, fee estimation, a crypto price API and an AI Builder that generates a frontend and backend from a description. Tatum says more than 10,000 projects use it.

It suits startups adding wallets, stablecoin payments, gaming or NFT features, as well as larger teams that want one provider across many chains. If you only need a single chain and are happy to run your own node, it may be more than you need. Everything is priced in US dollars, and you pay by card or bank transfer.

What's worth a look

Pricing is based on monthly credits, and here are six of the plans and add-ons on Tatum's pricing page, with their monthly prices.

The free plan gives you 2 API keys, 3 requests a second on full nodes, 100 notifications a month and 100,000 lifetime credits, though gas coverage is testnet-only. The entry paid plan, Starter with 4 million credits, is $49 a month, and Pro starts at $139 a month for 15 million credits. At the top end, Scale plans run from $1,199 a month for 150 million credits up to $2,799 a month for 400 million. Dedicated API keys are separate: they give you guaranteed requests per second for critical traffic and don't use your plan credits, starting at $99 a month for 10 RPS.

Current offers

• Tatum's site is advertising up to 50% off with a two-year plan. For example, Starter with 4 million credits is $49 billed monthly, $349 for a year (about $29 a month) or $599 for two years (about $25 a month).
• The free plan has no time limit, so you can build and test before you pay anything.
• Yearly billing is a middle ground if two years feels too long: Pro with 15 million credits is $139 a month on monthly billing or $948 for a year.

How to save more

• Size your plan before you commit to a long term. Credits don't roll over from month to month, so a bigger plan you don't fully use is money lost.
• Decide how you want to handle overages. With auto-upgrade on, Tatum moves you to the next tier when you run out of credits; turn it off in account settings if you'd rather your keys pause until the next cycle.
• Only add a dedicated key if you need guaranteed throughput. For most early-stage apps, the shared plan limits are enough.
