  Aptos Labs provides public endpoints for the Fullnode REST API, Indexer GraphQL API, and
  Transaction Stream gRPC on a per-IP anonymous basis for free. For significantly higher rate
  limits, developers register at Geomi (geomi.dev), which uses a consumption-based model
  charged in compute units (CU). There are no locked tiers — all users get $10/month free
  credit by default, or $100/month free credit when a payment method is attached, with
  pay-as-you-go overages billed at $0.0012059575 per 1,000 CU.
notes: >-
  Pricing is via Geomi (formerly the Aptos Labs Developer Portal). CU rates and free credit
  amounts should be re-verified at geomi.dev/pricing. Gas Station billing varies based on
  APT price at previous UTC close-of-day.

      Default free access limited per source IP address without requiring an API key. Suitable

      lower than authenticated access.
