Plans
Plans is the machine-readable pricing-plan profile for Monero on the APIs.io network, conforming to the API Commons Plans specification.
It defines 4 plans, covering self-hosted, remote-node, and mining tiers, with named plans including Open Source / Self-Hosted, Third-Party Node / Remote Node, Mining (Solo), Mining (P2Pool).
Tagged areas include Cryptocurrency, Privacy, Blockchain, JSON-RPC, and Wallet.
Plans
The Monero daemon (monerod) and wallet RPC (monero-wallet-rpc) are free, open-source software released under the BSD 3-Clause license. Anyone can run the full node and wallet RPC locally or on their own infrastructure at no cost.
Users who do not wish to run their own full node can connect to community-operated remote nodes or commercial node providers. This allows wallet-only setups without the resource cost of running monerod.
Any holder of monerod can configure their node to perform solo CPU mining using the RandomX proof-of-work algorithm. Mining rewards are proportional to hash rate contributed to finding blocks.
P2Pool is a decentralized mining pool protocol supported natively by Monero. Miners contribute hash rate to a sidechain and receive proportional payouts without a centralized pool operator.
