Polkadot RPC services Dwellir Q3 2023 (retroactive)
During Q3 Dwellir served more than 840 million RPC requests for the Polkadot communities including AssetHub and Westend. These services were seamlessly provided using our decentralized bare-metal infrastructure located in both Sweden and Tunisia, with all operational data transparently available at https://stats.dwellir.app/. Our commitment remains firm: offering top-tier, decentralized RPC services at an equitable price.
Current Progress and Comments:
Dwellir at the time of this proposal was one of the most used RPC providers and one of the only ones that had bare metal machines in their own locations that are able to manage the required RPC traffic that applications and users in the Polkadot ecosystem need. Their native infrastructure is important as it helps decentralize operations and it’s not reliant on cloud hardware owned by big-tech. The main points against is that RPCs should be relied upon less but at the time of this proposal, light nodes were not completely widespread and RPCs are a necessity rather than an alternative.
