Pay only for what you use, scaling dynamically based on usage and without infrastructure investment. You have two choices for payment: first, a dedicated service that charges by the node instance, storage, API requests, and data transfer sizes; or, second, a serverless service that charges by the number of API requests and complexity of the API requested. There are five components to consider when working with blockchains and blockchain data, based on Amazon Managed Blockchain (AMB) feature, blockchain, and AWS Region: On-demand peer node pricing, storage pricing, request pricing, data retrieval pricing, and data transfer.

AMB Access Ethereum

AMB Access Serverless

AMB Query
-
AMB Access for Hyperledger Fabric
-
AMB Access Ethereum
-
Access for Ethereum allows you to create nodes and connect to Ethereum public networks, without infrastructure investment. You are charged for peer nodes, peer node storage, and the number of Ethereum requests that you make. Prices depend on your AWS Region.
On-demand peer node pricing
You pay per second for the blockchain peer nodes that you create, with a 1-minute minimum. Scale up and down based on usage without the cost and complexity of planning and purchasing up-front peer node capacity.
Peer node storage
Peer node storage elastically scales for storing a history of all the transactions on the network. You pay in GB-month increments. Except as otherwise noted, our prices are exclusive of applicable taxes and duties, including VAT and applicable sales tax. For customers with a
Japanese billing address, use of AWS is subject to Japanese consumption tax.
Requests pricing
A request is an Ethereum API call to your node that transfers data to and from Ethereum networks. Through familiar APIs, you can read and write transactions, retrieve blocks, fetch logs, and subscribe to real-time events. You are charged for each request accrued in increments of 32 KB of data exchanged or 500 ms response time, whichever comes first.
Standard AWS data transfer charges
You pay standard AWS data transfer charges for the data transferred in and out of AMB.
-
AMB Access Serverless
-
Access Serverless provides instant and serverless access to blockchain infrastructure for multi-tenant public networks such as Bitcoin and Polygon. Pay only for the API requests that you make. There are no hourly charges and no minimum number of API requests. AMB Access Polygon is in preview and can be used free of charge.
API requests pricing
Pay only for the API requests that you make. AMB Access APIs are grouped into price buckets reflecting the differing amount of compute resources used for the API.
-
AMB Query
-
Query is a highly scalable blockchain data API service that provides you with seamless access to real-time and historical data from multiple public blockchains, without infrastructure investment and zero extract, transform, and load (ETL). Pay only for the number of data APIs that you request. There are no subscriptions, no minimum quotas, and no overage charges.
API requests pricing
API requests are grouped into tiers reflecting the differing amounts of compute and data required to get you the result. Pay only for the API requests that you make.
-
AMB Access for Hyperledger Fabric
-
AMB Access for Hyperledger Fabric provides resources for building and deploying your private blockchain network. Your managed blockchain consists of one or more members who can can write data to the network, with each member having peer nodes with local storage. You are charged for network membership (Starter or Standard), peer nodes, peer node storage, data written to the network, and data transfer. The costs associated with shared network components are included in your hourly network membership rate, which is billed per second. Prices depend on your AWS Region.
Membership
Your membership authenticates and authorizes individual identities for network participation. The membership rate includes a Hyperledger Fabric certificate authority (CA) and other shared network costs. A single AWS account can create multiple members. A Starter Edition network is designed for test networks and small production networks, while a Standard Edition network is designed for production networks. Attributes vary between membership types.
Attributes Starter Edition Standard Edition Maximum members per network 5 14 Maximum peer nodes per member 2 3 Available instance types for peer nodes bc.t3.small, bc.t3.medium bc.t3, bc.m5, and bc.c5 instance families Maximum channels per network 3 8 Ordering service lower transaction throughput and availability higher transaction throughput and availability On-demand peer node pricing
You pay per second for the blockchain peer nodes that you create, with a 1-minute minimum. Scale up and down based on usage without the cost and complexity of planning and purchasing up-front peer node capacity.
Peer node storage
Peer node storage elastically scales for storing the blockchain ledger and chaincode applications. Peer node storage is charged in GB-month increments. Except as otherwise noted, our prices are exclusive of applicable taxes and duties, including VAT and applicable sales tax. For customers with a Japanese billing address, use of AWS is subject to Japanese consumption tax.
Data written
Data written is the amount of data that you have written to the Hyperledger Fabric network. This includes the entire payload size of each transaction that you create on the network.Standard AWS data transfer charges
You pay standard AWS data transfer charges for the data transferred in and out of AMB.
Pricing examples
Example 1: Custodian application calls to the Bitcoin public network
You have a custodian application using AMB Access Bitcoin in US East (N. Virginia). It makes 10 million getblock (verbosity = 1) calls and 1 million getblockstats calls over one month. Your application also make 10,000 createrawtransaction calls and 10,000 sendrawtransaction calls across three wallet accounts in the same time period.
| API | Calls (Million) | API Tier | Cost (Per Million) | Total |
| getblock (verbosity = 1) | 10 | Large | $16 | $160 |
| sendrawtransaction | 0.01 | Extra Small | $5 | $0.05 |
| createrawtransaction | 0.01 | Extra Small | $5 | $0.05 |
| getblockstats | 1 | Large | $16 | $16 |
| Total | $176.10 |
For the month, your bill will be $176.10.
Example 2: Custodian wallet application calls to the Bitcoin and Ethereum public network
You have a wallet application using AMB Query in US East (N. Virginia). It makes 0.5 million ListTransactionEvents and 20 million GetTokenBalance calls on Bitcoin for 30 account addresses over one day. It also makes 2.5 million ListTransactionEvents and 5 million GetTokenBalance calls on Ethereum for 20,000 account addresses over the same period.
| Blockchain | API | Calls (Million) | API Tier | Cost (Per Million) | Total |
| Bitcoin | GetTokenBalance | 20 | Small | $7 | $140 |
| Bitcoin | ListTransactionEvents | 0.5 | Medium | $9 | $4.5 |
| Ethereum | GetTokenBalance | 5 | Small | $7 | $35 |
| Ethereum | ListTransactionEvents | 2.5 | Medium | $9 | $22.5 |
