Every GetBlock Shared Node Plan Just Got Up to 75% More Compute Units

GetBlock pushed Compute Unit caps up by as much as 75% on all Shared Node plans, with no price change. Paid accounts were raised automatically. Here are the new numbers.

If you have ever watched a Compute Unit counter climb toward its ceiling in the last week of a billing cycle, this one is for you. In a quiet market, every request you fire is a request you pay for, and you would rather your RPC layer not eat into budget that belongs to your roadmap.

So we changed the equation. GetBlock has pushed the Compute Unit (CU) ceilings up on every Shared Node plan by as much as 75%, and left every price untouched. There is nothing to migrate onto and no upgrade to clear first. Whatever plan you run already does more for the same spend.

The new caps: up to 75% more, same price

This went live today and reaches the entire Shared Node range, both the three mid-tier plans we shipped recently and the tiers you have run for a while. Prices stayed put. The one thing that moved is the ceiling. Here is the full breakdown:

Plan Price Old CU cap New CU cap
Starter $49 50M 90M
Growth $99 105M 185M
Advanced $199 220M 385M
Scale $349 400M 700M
Pro $499 600M 1,000M
Premium $699 900M 1,600M

In practical terms, that is far more requests on the plan you already pay for, the cushion you want when a launch takes off or traffic outpaces the roadmap. The end-of-month scramble to stay under your cap goes away.

Here is how GetBlock CEO Vasily Rudomanov framed it:

"Builders should spend their time shipping, not rationing requests. That conviction sits behind our latest upgrade: every Shared Node plan, from Starter to Premium, now includes 75% more compute units. It rests on deep infrastructure optimization and, just as much, on what our customers told us they needed. Our largest plans now clear 1.6 billion CUs, giving the most demanding teams room to build without over-provisioning. Together with the mid-tier plans we introduced recently, this makes GetBlock's Shared Node lineup one of the most flexible and cost-effective options across Tier 1 Web3 infrastructure. The fewer limits builders carry in their heads, the more they can put on-chain."

What you need to do (probably nothing)

Your next step depends on where you stand today, and for most readers there is none.

Already paying for a plan? You are set. We recalculated every account on our side, the higher caps are attached, and you can verify it in your dashboard right now. Nothing needs redeploying, and your keys keep working as before.

Running on Free? Switch to any paid tier and the raised caps apply from day one, at the same price every paying customer sees, boost included.

Let your plan lapse, or sitting in the grace window before it does? This is a good moment to come back. Same tiers, same pricing, more capacity than the day you walked away. No codes to punch in, nothing tucked into the footnotes, just a bigger allowance than before.

A few other things worth a look

Since the dashboard will be open anyway, a few recent additions deserve a look. We rolled out new mid-tier Shared plans to bridge the entry tiers and full enterprise workloads. They exist for the same reason these caps do: developers kept saying the leap from a small plan straight to enterprise was too steep, so we built the steps between.

Limitless Node gives high-volume teams dedicated capacity with no per-request ceiling. Our risk and compliance suite, Wallet Risk, Wallet Audit, and the Rug Pull Checker, lets you vet an address before funds pass through it. And TRON Energy rental cuts TRON network fees on USDT transfers by as much as 70%, no TRX staking involved, all from the same account and balance you already use.

Pick your tier

The caps are in place now, but the deal around them will not stay open forever. If sizing up has been on your list, this is as cheap as that headroom will ever get. Open the pricing page, run your numbers through the new calculator, and get back to the work that pulled you in to begin with: shipping.
