Plans

Self-Hosted (Open Source)

Run your own zcashd or zebrad full node. All JSON-RPC and Payment API methods are available at no cost. Requires downloading the full Zcash blockchain (~100 GB+). Suitable for developers, exchanges, and businesses needing full node control and auditability.

Lightwalletd Service (Self-Hosted)

Run a lightwalletd server backed by a full node (zcashd or zebrad) to serve lightweight wallet clients via gRPC. Provides compact block streaming so mobile and web clients can sync without downloading the full chain.

Third-Party Node Providers

Commercial API providers such as GetBlock.io offer hosted Zcash node access via JSON-RPC without running your own infrastructure. Pricing and rate limits vary by provider.
