Cutting Solana RPC Costs by 90%

Every RPC Call Costs Money

Solana RPC is the most expensive line item for any onchain application. With thousands of tokens updating in real-time, Pump Studio was burning through Helius credits on requests that didn't need premium endpoints.

Wallet RPC Separation

Wallet operations — balance checks, signature broadcasts — now route to a free public endpoint via NEXT_PUBLIC_WALLET_RPC_URL. Premium Helius stays reserved for server-side operations where data quality matters. One config change, massive savings.

Zero RPC Background Jobs

All cron jobs now use REST APIs exclusively — PumpFun API for token data, DexScreener for pair stats, Jupiter for prices. Zero direct Solana RPC calls from scheduled tasks.

Visibility Guards

Browser tabs you're not looking at no longer waste API calls. Active tabs refresh every 30 seconds, hidden tabs back off to 120 seconds. This eliminated the single biggest source of unnecessary requests across the platform.
