Software has always moved in waves, but for builders, progress has never been evenly distributed.
In the early days of Ethereum, even something as basic as checking your token balances wasn’t straightforward. There were no standard APIs for wallet state or historical positions. Developers had to run full nodes, parse raw logs, and maintain custom indexers just to answer simple questions. Before you could build a product, you first had to rebuild the infrastructure everyone else needed too.
GoldRush emerged to collapse that complexity. It turned bespoke pipelines into a single, deterministic API and shifted developer effort back where it belonged: shipping software.
That same pattern is repeating today. AI-native tools like Claude Code, Codex and others have collapsed the distance between intent and execution. The bottleneck is no longer writing code. It is iterating fast without losing correctness. The unit of progress has shifted from lines of code to iterations per hour.
Today, we’re introducing the GoldRush Vibe Coding Plan, a $10/month plan designed specifically for this new way of building.
This isn’t a low-cost or discount tier. It’s a deliberate shift in how we support builders who are shipping faster than traditional pricing models were designed for.
For a long time, GoldRush was completely free. Our goal was simple: make high-quality onchain data accessible and remove friction for builders exploring what was possible. That openness helped GoldRush spread organically and become embedded in early developer workflows.
As usage grew and production workloads increased, we shifted to a free trial model. This wasn’t about restricting access. It was about ensuring reliability for serious builders. Production-grade infrastructure has real costs, and the trial model allowed us to invest in stability, coverage, and long-term correctness while still giving teams a clear path to evaluate GoldRush before committing.
Today, the landscape has shifted again. Roughly 20% of our inbound traffic now comes from LLMs themselves, discovering GoldRush through documentation, examples, and code. These AI-native builders and agents don’t fit neatly into enterprise-shaped plans, and we don’t want to force them into one. The Vibe Coding Plan is our response: a low-friction entry point designed for experimentation, iteration, and early momentum without compromising on data quality.
The Vibe Coding Plan gives you:
Full access to GoldRush APIs
Generous rate limits for experimentation
Stable, real-world onchain data
Broad chain coverage
A clean upgrade path as projects scale
It’s designed for solo founders, indie hackers, hackathon teams, and AI-native workflows. At $10/month, you don’t overthink infrastructure. You just build.
This is just the first step.
As more software is written by agents, the data layer has to evolve with it. You’ll see GoldRush continue to invest in agent-native workflows, real-time and streaming-first primitives, and deeper integrations with AI coding environments.
The future of software is being built faster, smaller, and more autonomously than ever before. Vibe coders are already building it, and they need infrastructure that keeps up.
If you’re vibe coding, this plan was built for you.
