Subscriptions and Payments

To use products on Launchpad, users must have an active subscription. There are different subscription options for each product and two main payment methods.

IMPORTANT: Only Organization owners can subscribe and access payment information on Launchpad.

Before any purchase is done on Launchpad - and regardless of your payment method -, you will need to enter your billing (address connected to your payment) and shipping addresses (address of your activities) in your profile. You can also review your cards information here if you have paid or are planning to pay in Fiat for some of your subscriptions.

You can review and update all your subscriptions under Settings > Subscription.

Subscription types

Launchpad offers two general types of subscription across the platform:

1. Plan-based subscriptions

2. Per-item subscriptions

Plan-based subscriptions

Plan-based are available for the following products:

• SmartFlow

• Blockchain API

• Green Proofs

These subscriptions are a monthly payment giving access to the product. The payment is fixed and will give access to specific numbers of deployments and features based on the plan chosen.

The plans are product-specific and always include a Base plan, a EW Member plan and an Advanced plan. Some plans are available for some products only.

The EW Member plan is only accessible to Energy Web Member organizations. Learn more about becoming a Member and Members benefits on Launchpad.

Per-item subscriptions

Per-item subscriptions are available for the following products:

• Validator nodes

• RPC nodes

• Collator nodes

• Worker nodes

For these subscriptions, the monthly payment is not based on a pre-selected plan but on the number of items purchased.

Note: for validator nodes, the package contains 1 Volta node + 1 Validator node.

Payment Methods

Organization owners can choose between 2 payment methods:

• Fiat

• Energy Web Tokens (EWT)

These payments methods are available for all products and can be used simultaneously for different subscriptions. For example, it's possible to have purchased 1 Worker node in Fiat, another in EWT and a Green Proof registries subscription in EWT.
