radiumblock.com's Dotsama validator snapshot service for Q1 2022
Hello Polkadot community
RadiumBlock is an aspiring Web3 infrastructure service provider focused on the Dotsama ecosystem. We would like to submit a treasury proposal for the maintenance of radiumblock.com's validator snapshot service for Q1 2022. The snapshot service provides both polkadot and kusama snapshots. The detailed proposal can be found here.
Although this service benefits both Polkadot and Kusama communities, we believe that the amount is reasonable enough to request it from the Polkadot Treasury. We plan to alternate between Kusama and Polkadot treasury per quarter.
We request the payment to be made to our DOT wallet 13GtCixw3EZARj52CVbKLrsAzyc7dmmYhDV6quS5yeVCfnh1
We welcome your feedback.
Thank you for your consideration!

It is always nice to have alternatives to already existing services in order to decentralize it. The budget seems reasonable to me. To add some feedback, I would try to coordinate with other existing services ( i.e. polkashots ) and try not to co-exist on the same infrastructure provider. It would be a pity if both services were hosted on hetzner. I am not sure about this point, but I do think it worths to check.
Very much in the spirit of decentralization, we have explicitly tried to provide both geographical as well as infrastructure provider diversity.
Here is a summary table of the snapshot providers and information about their infra and geo we compiled(to the best of our knowledge).
Snapshots | Infra Provider | Geo Location
RadiumBlock.com | Hetzner | Finland
Polkadots.io. | Google Cloud | US
Polkachu.com | Digital Ocean | EU
Parasnaps.io | ? | ?
