A real-world reference
Users can immediately understand the approximate service value without analysing blockchain fees, infrastructure costs or complex pricing formulas.
Seeder uses a familiar real-world benchmark instead of an abstract pricing formula. The standard price of one SDR is based on twice the average United States Big Mac price published in the Big Mac Index.
The standard SDR price is based on twice the latest available average United States Big Mac price. One SDR pays for one complete encrypted record storage operation, including the associated Sui transaction cost.
The Big Mac Index translates an abstract economic value into something familiar. A Big Mac is widely recognised, has a measurable average price and provides a simple way to explain the approximate value of one storage operation.
Users can immediately understand the approximate service value without analysing blockchain fees, infrastructure costs or complex pricing formulas.
The Economist generally publishes Big Mac Index observations twice a year. Seeder reviews its standard SDR sales price when a new United States observation becomes available.
A later price update applies only to newly purchased SDR. A token already held in a wallet continues to pay for one encrypted record, regardless of its original purchase price.
The chart uses the United States local-price observations contained in The Economist's public Big Mac Index dataset. The current published series used here begins in 2000.
Latest available observation: July 2026 — $6.22
