OnFinality High Performance Public Infrastructure (Q2 2023)
As Polkadot's largest and most cost efficient infrastructure provider, over the last 3 months (April, May and June 2023) we've provided scalable free public API services for Polkadot, Statemint, Westend, Collectives, and Encointer. These services have the following three outcomes: Grow the ecosystem by reducing the barriers to entry to access a high performance nodes, and to allow development teams to focus on innovation rather than running infrastructure. Help scale existing projects in the ecosystem by providing more stable infrastructure services that can be depended on to scale. Assist with the testing of all networks by providing valuable data back to the community on how nodes are running, what calls are causing errors, and where traffic is originating from.
Current Progress and Comments:
OnFinality’s second treasury proposal which sought funds to cover their operations for the entirety of Q2. Considering that OnFinality was at that moment one of the most used RPC providers, the proposal had merit but passed with significant resistence. This is due to the fact of openGov participants realizing the operational costs of RPC providers as well as their continuous use for the foreseeable future.
