Koinos Group is excited to announce the V1 release of KoinosPro, the most reliable and scalable API infrastructure for Koinos, built from the ground up by the most trusted team in Koinos.

We want developers and entrepreneurs to be able to go from idea to revenue generation in no time, without having to spend a dime.

Disrupting Entrepreneurship

This isn’t just about Web3 and decentralized applications. This is about disrupting entrepreneurship by making it faster, easier, and more profitable to bootstrap any kind of business using the blockchain.

Koinos is a massive leap in that direction with its free-to-use design and TypeScript smart contracts, but it doesn’t get us there all on its own.

Surviving Success

The first major hurdle is the need for developers to run their own blockchain node which is a waste of time and money. Even if developers are able to run their own nodes, they won’t be ready for the kind of exponential growth that can happen on a free-to-use platform and be devastating to a business when it does. The last thing you want is to be taken down by success.

KoinosPro eliminates the need for developers to run their own nodes and at zero cost, thanks to its free tier. But KoinosPro now also has paid tiers, so that when an app starts to explode, scaling to meet that demand is as easy as upgrading to a new tier in KoinosPro. Without these paid tiers, we would have to cut developers off at the worst time; right when they’re achieving explosive growth.

Exponential Growth

V1 of KoinosPro solves this problem, ensuring developers can always scale their infrastructure even in the most challenging environments. Not only does this give the developer peace of mind, it also gives them cost predictability. Even before developing their app, they can see what their infrastructure costs will be, and adjust their business plan accordingly.

But the launch of KoinosPro also has important implications for the long-term growth of the Koinos ecosystem. We know from our experience building the Steem blockchain how quickly growth can come when you remove gas fees, and since we were also building the largest decentralized application in the world, in Steemit.com, we know that the real scaling constraint for developers isn’t the blockchain, it’s their infrastructure.

Eliminating barriers to entry leads to exponential growth, but if you’re not prepared to scale with that growth, everything collapses, defeating the whole purpose.

Wen Marketing?

Since we launched Koinos on November the 5th, 2022 people have been asking us “wen marketing?” Well, up until now we’ve been in a bear market, without the infrastructure to support exponential growth, and no product to market to turn that growth into revenue. That all changes today.

With V1 of KoinosPro out, we now have the infrastructure developers need to support exponential growth and Koinos Group has a product to market that becomes more profitable when dApps grow exponentially.

From the very beginning we wanted to have a sustainable plan for funding blockchain development that was not reliant on the token price going up. We believe in Koinos and want to bet on its success, and KoinosPro is a huge bet on Koinos. We’ve spent over a year building it from the ground up to offer the highest degree of reliability and scalability while delivering the lowest possible prices to developers.

No Compromises

Using Amazon or Google would have cut down on our development time, but this would have made KoinosPro reliant on their infrastructure while increasing the cost to developers. This would undermine the decentralization of Koinos, and compromise our vision of a future where developers and entrepreneurs can go from idea to revenue generation in no time, without having to spend a dime.

Welcome to the next chapter in the Koinos story.

Welcome V1 of KoinosPro.

Koinos Developers: If you are already using the open API we provide, we recommend migrating to the free tier of KoinosPro as soon as possible because the open API will be sunset at some point, though not without advanced notice.
