How our pricing works

Every listing price comes from one formula. Here it is, together with the numbers we actually plug into it — including the benchmark we ran to measure our mining rate.

The formula, in full

  1. Character space

    Character space per position. EVM addresses are hexadecimal, so 16 possibilities per character; TRON and Solana are Base58, so 58. For a prefix of n characters that is base^n.

  2. Expected attempts

    Expected attempts. The number of addresses we expect to try before one matches. Each extra character multiplies it by the base.

    attempts = character space ^ pattern length

  3. Benchmark rate

    Benchmark rate. How many addresses we can try per second. This one is measured, not estimated.

  4. Expected time

    Expected time. Expected attempts divided by the benchmark rate.

    time = attempts ÷ benchmark rate

  5. Price

    Price. Time in hours × cost per CPU-hour × margin + listing fee, and never below the minimum price.

    price = max(time in hours × hourly cost × margin + listing fee, minimum price)

Benchmark rate Measured

This is the only input we measure. Everything else is arithmetic.

These are commercial choices, not measurements. Changing one moves every future price; orders that were already placed keep the amount they were charged.
