Why do rollups cost anywhere from $1 to $1M+? Because “rollup” pricing depends on what you’re actually running. The truth is: most apps don’t need everything. And with the right setup, your chain can cost closer to $1 than 7 figures. Let’s break it down ↓

Seven-figure estimates typically bundle in everything: + Block explorer (~$1M/year) + Analytics providers (6 figures) + Account abstraction infra (5 figures) + Wallet integrations, indexers, custom RaaS These are optional, not required to run an appchain.

At the most basic level, all a rollup needs is a sequencer and an RPC node. That can cost as little as a few dozen to a few hundred dollars per month, depending on setup and usage.

Appchains powered by Syndicate reduce infrastructure overhead even further by using onchain sequencing. No failover infrastructure. No centralized backups. If your chain goes idle, it can spin down completely and resume later—at no ongoing cost.

Onchain sequencing also changes how data is stored. Instead of relying on rollup nodes to retain data after DA expiry (~14 days), the data lives onchain. Your appchain can spin down to zero nodes and restart without loss or extra infra.

Most appchains powered by Syndicate cost a few dozen to a few hundred dollars per month when serving low to moderate levels of traffic, and can cost zero dollars per month when serving no traffic.
