This is a follow-up proposal on what we submitted in the beginning of [July](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/motion/230), 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.
### Report

During Q3 2022 our Polkadot RPC node served on average **2,690,000** requests per day, and in total we served **250,200,000** requests.

During Q3 2022 our Statemint RPC node served on average **74,300** requests per day, and in total we served **6,687,000** requests.
