FAQ
Usage
When does the 90-day timer start?
On your first mainnet UserOperation. Testnet usage doesn't start the clock.
What counts as a "Mainnet UserOp"?
Any transaction on a production network (Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, Polygon, etc.). Testnet transactions don't count.
What happens when I hit the free tier limit?
Mainnet access pauses. Testnet continues working. Upgrade to Launch to restore mainnet immediately.
Can I switch between tiers?
Yes. Upgrade anytime. Downgrade takes effect at the end of your current billing cycle.
Do I need a credit card for the free tier?
No. Start building immediately. Add payment when you upgrade.
What if I outgrow Launch but don't need all of Grow?
Reach out for custom quotes or add-ons.
Exclusive Networks
What is an Exclusive Network?
Networks not available by default at Candide that can be supported on request. Any EVM-equivalent chain is supported — including your own L2 (Arbitrum Orbit, OP Stack, Polygon CDK, ZK Stack, etc.). We deploy all smart contracts and bundler infrastructure.
Support
What support do I get with each tier?
- Starter: Community Discord (best-effort)
- Launch: Slack/Telegram (24h response) — reactive support. You ask, we answer any question
- Grow: Slack/Telegram (4h business hours / 6h nights & weekends) + dedicated account team who proactively monitors your account
- Enterprise: Slack/Telegram (1h business hours / 4h nights & weekends) + dedicated account team with 24/7 incident response
What is Flash Support?
Pay-per-incident emergency support ($149 per incident, max 2/year). When production breaks, activate Flash Support and get a 1-hour response (business hours) or 4-hour response (nights & weekends) for that specific incident. Not a subscription — pay only when you need it. Available as an add-on on the Launch plan.
