Tatum provides several automated services that can generate daily charges depending on your usage. These charges cover the infrastructure needed to ensure seamless operation of key functionalities such as Subscriptions to Notifications, Virtual Account deposit address scanning, and KMS transaction monitoring.

Subscriptions to Notifications

Tatum’s Subscription service enables you to receive real-time blockchain notifications. Depending on the type and frequency of subscription, daily costs apply.

Virtual Accounts – Deposit Address Scanning

Every deposit address assigned to a Virtual Account is automatically monitored for incoming transactions. This scanning ensures that deposits are detected reliably, but it incurs a daily cost of 20 credits per address.

⚠️

Attention

Charges apply even if no deposits occur, since the system continues monitoring for potential activity.

KMS (Key Management System) – Transaction Scanning

When using Tatum’s KMS to automatically scan for pending transactions, daily charges are also applied. These charges depend on your configured scanning routines.

Managing and Reducing Daily Charges

If your daily charges feel unexpected or excessive, you can take steps to optimize:

  • Review Your Usage
    Check which Subscriptions to Notifications and Virtual Account deposit addresses are still needed. Remove unused ones to stop unnecessary charges.

  • Optimize KMS Settings
    Reduce the frequency of transaction scans or fine-tune notification triggers to lower recurring costs.
