This is a follow-up proposal on what we submitted in the beginning of July, to further fund the development of the RPC services and to cover the maintenance costs of it.

This new proposal includes one Milestone.

Milestone 1: Continue to run the Polkadot, Statemint and Westend RPC services on dedicated hardware, located at small independent co-location sites in Sweden.
