This page demonstrates real-world cost estimates for common Lit Action operations. The costs are calculated using current real-time prices from the blockchain and show how different resource usage affects the total cost.
These are estimates based on current prices and the specified resource usage. Actual costs may vary slightly based on network conditions and exact resource consumption.

Understanding the Cost Breakdown

Each example shows a detailed breakdown of costs by component:
  • Base Amount: Fixed cost per Lit Action execution
  • Runtime Length: Cost based on execution time (charged per second)
  • Fetches: Cost per HTTP fetch request
  • Signatures: Cost per signature generated
  • Decrypts: Cost per decryption operation
The total cost is the sum of all applicable components based on the operation’s resource usage.
