Every finding is free. What costs money is speed and volume.
A watchtower whose findings sit behind a paywall is not a watchtower. It is a private newsletter about somebody else’s chain.
Stake, sign, done
No waiting period. The tier is read from your stake when you ask and re-read on every request after — so unstaking downgrades the key rather than leaving a permanent tier bought with a temporary balance.
The threshold for the first tier is 25,000 $WARR. This is the passive side of the network — it buys service, not standing. Running a node is a different thing entirely.
Plain readable text naming this site and your wallet. It approves no transfer and costs no gas — a prompt showing opaque bytes trains people to approve opaque bytes, which is the habit every drainer relies on.

What each one buys
| tier | stake | or monthly | feed delay | rpc / sec | sockets | alert hooks | archive | white label |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Public | none | — | 2,000 ms | 5 | 1 | — | — | — |
| Pro | 25,000 | $149 | 250 ms | 50 | 5 | 3 | — | — |
| Turbo | 250,000 | $899 | none | 300 | 25 | 20 | yes | yes |
| Colocated | — | — | none | 2,000 | 200 | 100 | yes | yes |
The public feed delay is applied in one place in the codebase — the hub that fans the feed out — so there is exactly one function deciding who gets data when. Colocated is a cross-connect and a contract, which is why no amount of staking reaches it.
Two things a tier is not
- Not standing
- Passive staking earns no reputation, no rank, no vote and no share of the operator pool. Those come from running a node and being right — months of it, and a larger wallet does not shorten them.
- Not priority
- There is no sequencer here to bribe. A higher tier means our relay forwards to you sooner and our node answers you more often. Nothing about where your transaction lands.
