This is a follow-up proposal on what we submitted in mid-October last year, 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.

Report from Q4 2022

• During Q4 2022 our Polkadot RPC node served on average 5,291,405 requests per day, and in total we served 486,809,279 requests.
• During Q4 2022 our Statemint RPC node served on average 411,342 requests per day, and in total we served 37,843,427 requests.
• During Q4 2022 our Westend RPC node served on average 56,764 requests per day, and in total we served 5,222,275 requests.

Since our last proposal we have launched a cluster in Tunisia, North Africa. The nodes in Tunisia are in production.
