A place for talking about the Ethereum Virtual Machine on Farcaster.

How much does it cost to index a whole evm chain? Rough estimate is fine

I know its probably insane but am super curious

don't take my casts super seriously please (most of them at least)

Indexing a full EVM chain like Ethereum can easily cost millions of dollars annually due to storage, bandwidth, and computational resources. For a rough estimate, think of the costs associated with running a full node, plus additional infrastructure for indexing and querying. Layer 2 solutions or smaller, less complex chains might be more cost-effective.
