Funded High Performance Public Infrastructure for the entire Polkadot Ecosystem (OnFinality)

by OnFinality

Summary:

This proposal covers US$620 of base funding each month for each parachain’s API service. To start with, we budget that there will be 38 parachains that take us up on this offer (all parachains with an active lease will be eligible). The total combined running cost for each month is estimated at USD $23,560.00 - all inclusive of capital and operating expenses, administration time from OnFinality DevOps, onboarding costs, backup costs, and all other monitoring and right-sizing by the team. The initial proposal is for July's cost only.

Current Progress and Comments:

OnFinality, a cloud based RPC provider was one of the most used RPC providers at the time of the proposal. This was the price required for operation for all active parachains at that time for the month of July. More or less unanimously approved, one of the interesting bits was the hinting of plans for a new infrastructure bounty so that all these RPC providers would get paid from that secondary infrastructure funds pool rather than requesting them from OpenGov.
