Rate limits
Your request rate is set by how much $RELAY you have staked. There are no tiers and no plans to buy — the limit moves continuously with your stake.
- Unstaked:
5requests per second - Staked: rises with your active stake, up to
200requests per second - Applied per API key, and the curve is convex — the first tokens you stake buy proportionally more throughput than the last
Staking also reduces the tip you owe on every transaction, down to tip-free. Both figures come from the same stake, and you can read your current ones at any time — see Your effective rate.
