Blockchain Procurement Intelligence

In this blockchain procurement intelligence report, we have estimated the pricing of the key cost components. Block development, transaction volume, and transaction size form the largest cost component of blockchain implementation. Together with maintenance, node hosting, and designing they account for 60-70% of the total cost. The cost also depends on the type of blockchain such as private, public, or hybrid blockchain. For instance, in a private blockchain cost model, considering a daily transaction volume of 250,000, a transaction size of 500 bytes, and cloud-based node hosting, the total onboarding costs in the first-year range between USD 115,000 - 120,000. Cloud costs range between USD 50,000 - 52,000. Ongoing and maintenance costs range between USD 140,000 - 150,000. The costs of monitoring are between USD 19,000 - 22,000. Hence, over a period of five years, in a private blockchain model, on average, the annual costs range between USD 300,000 and 320,000 for 365,000 annual transactions. As a result, the average transaction costs come to around USD 0.8 - 1 per transaction.

On the other hand, in the case of a public blockchain model, over a period of five years, the average annual costs range between USD 22,000 - 25,000 for 365,000 transactions. As a result, the average transaction costs come to around USD 5 - 6 per transaction. The assumptions considered for this cost model are second-generation ZKPs with an average ZKP transaction gas limit of 2.5 million and a long-run price of ether USD 100.

Rate Benchmarking

The geographical location and nature of the business play a vital factor in analyzing the rate benchmarking of blockchain category. For example, blockchain services in the U.S. are typically more expensive than services in India. For instance, in U.S the average hourly rate of a software developer is the highest ranging from USD 45 to 70, as compared to India which is around USD 20 to 40. 

This is due to a number of factors, including the availability of skilled labor, and the regulatory environment. The cost of blockchain services varies depending on the scale of the project. For example, a small business that is simply looking to implement a blockchain-based solution will likely pay less than a large enterprise that is looking to build a complex blockchain-based platform. Prices also depend on complexity of the blockchain application. For instance, a simple application may cost between USD 40,000 - 60,000 whereas a highly complex application may cost from USD 155,000 to 300,000.
