Dune, a blockchain data analytics platform, will convert free accounts created before July 21, 2026, to view-only access on Sept. 10, 2026. Users will retain access to existing dashboards, charts and saved work, but will no longer be able to run queries or perform other credit-consuming actions without upgrading. The change ends the 2,500 free credits per month previously available to those legacy accounts. Affected users will automatically receive a 14-day Plus plan trial, after which they must pay for continued query execution. Dune says rising compute costs from processing large blockchain datasets are driving the decision. Its Analyst plan costs $65 per month with annual billing and includes 4,000 credits, while the Plus plan costs $349 per month annually and includes 25,000 credits. Accounts created after July 21, 2026, will not see the same immediate access restrictions. The policy is likely to have its greatest effect on independent researchers, DAO contributors and smaller projects that relied on free analytics access.
