AWS Marketplace now accepts line of credit payments through the PNC Vendor Finance program. This program is available to select AWS customers in the US, excluding NV, NC, ND, TN, & VT.
You pay based on usage across six separate cost units, not a fixed subscription. Node hours track how long your blockchain nodes run. The Kaleido Node Cost Unit and Kaleido Membership Cost Unit cover the nodes you deploy and each organization in your network. The Kaleido Service Cost Unit covers add-on services you provision. The Kaleido Storage Cost Unit reflects the storage your network consumes. The Kaleido Support Cost Unit charges support as a share of your overall spend. These units combine, so your total scales with the size and activity of your network.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What counts as one node for the Node hours and Kaleido Node Cost Unit charges?
A node is one blockchain node running on your network. Nodes come in small, medium, and large sizes, each with a set rate limit and CPU and memory allocation. You choose a node client from supported blockchain clients. Charges accrue per hour that each node runs.
Am I charged when my nodes are not running?
Node hours meter the time each node runs. Nodes that are not running do not accrue node-hour charges. Storage you consume still counts toward the Kaleido Storage Cost Unit. The Kaleido Membership Cost Unit applies per organization in your network, separate from node run time.
How does the Kaleido Support Cost Unit combine with my other charges?
The Support Cost Unit is billed as a percentage of your overall spend, not a flat rate. As your node, service, storage, and membership charges rise, your support charge rises with them. It scales automatically alongside the rest of your usage rather than being fixed.

The best part about Kaleido is the team behind the product. Every single person I connected with at Kaleido treated clients as the top priority, treated your project as the most important on their roadmap and were dedicated to your success. They were all knowledgeable in their own area of expertise. Additionally the ease of implementation and integration prior to our launch as well as the number of third party integrations and features at our disposal was the clear winner for us to work with Kaleido over any other blockchain business solution.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing - even though Kaleido didn't yet have the exact solution we needed to launch, they built it for us within a matter of weeks. They are the best.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Kaleido solved multiple issues for us - they provide a blockchain cloud solution that includes an asset platform as well as support across multiple blockchain including private, side and public chains. We need the flexiblity to move assets across multiple chains, both private and public, and Kaleido's architechture was built with the ease of integration and the support of future growth. Additionally, Kaleido's integration with wallet and key management options, oracle networks and and cloud services solved major pain points for us as we were building across both web2 and web3.

What do you like best about the product?
- Kaleido's offers multiple blockchain services easy to deploy, ultra secure and easy to scale.
- The deployment of tokens, user's wallets, smart contracts and other Web3 service is simple and the API functions to interface with the smart contracts a realy big plus.
- The choice of options, the integration with other public chains like Polygon is great.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much I can think about. So much so that I would not consider looking for an alternative for any future projects as Kaleido's in my view only has plus points.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I've used Kaleido blockchain in 3 projects now and have 2 more in development.
The first projects range from a Motorsport NFT collector platform with token rewards having both driver's wallets and user's wallets.
The 2nd project was build to handle identity management and personal information sharing via NFT
The 3rd project deployed using Polygon Edge is to provide Escrow processing transactions.
Those projects and the on-going ones benefit from having one central platform with all the Web3 tools and security in one place to administer it. It also benefit from solid integration such as Polygon Edge and as a developer, one of the best feature of Kaleido in my view is that every smart contracts deployed on Kaleido have their own API endpoints that can be access easily from any custom developments.

Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
Kaleido's founders come with a long history in delivery of technology solutions for business enterprise, with equally strong capabilities in technology and business - this is not technology for technology sake. From day one the company has clearly been focused on delivering a solution that allows businesses capture the oft-heralded but rarely achieved gains, whether efficiency or competitive advantage, that blockchain technology promises. Their offer is simple to use when starting out but durable and scalable into production.
What do you dislike about the product?
The company is backed primarily by Consensys currently - it would be reassuring to see other funders join, from both a financial perspective and cross market support.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am aware of clients using this platform to prototype blockchain-based solutions for use internally, for example inter-company transactions within a large multinational financial services entity.
