We’ve been serving high-volume customers for years. The NFT boom pushed us to fortify our infrastructure to handle massive traffic—volumes comparable to those managed by global tech giants. But we’ve always known there was room to improve. Today, we’re excited to announce a major upgrade: improved API rate limits.

What’s Changing?

Starting today:

• Free Plan: Optimized for hobby projects, with a rate limit tailored to smaller-scale use.
• Picnic Plan: More than doubles the previous rate limits, perfect for scaling projects.
• Fiesta Plan: Offers nearly four times the previous rate limits for high-growth needs.
• Enterprise Plans: Now feature significantly increased limits, customizable based on individual contracts.

Why Do Rate Limits Matter?

Rate limits control the number of requests an API can handle, ensuring stability and fairness. Without them, one customer—or a group of customers—could unintentionally overwhelm the system, disrupting service for everyone. At Pinata, we balance protecting our platform with supporting customers of all sizes—from hobbyists to global enterprises.

These new limits reflect our commitment to meeting the diverse needs of our customers while ensuring robust, reliable performance at every scale.
