This is a follow-up proposal on what we submitted [in mid-October last year](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/treasury/177#88ca13f3-fd36-4772-8f0a-25bf109ba9f0), 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 and Tunisia.
