<p>The RadiumBlock team, an infrastructure provider for the Polkadot/Substrate community, is seeking reimbursement for the provision of public RPC services for the Polkadot networks for Q4 2022 and Q1 2023. We are committed to the DotSama ecosystem and we are investing significant capital upfront, believing we can provide a reliable and secure service to the community at a fixed and reasonable cost. We would like to emphasise that we do not collect any user data. We only track average rpc requests rate, computation and bandwidth use. We are proud to operate one the highest performance RPC service in polkadot ecosystem <a href="https://www.comparenodes.com/global-node-comparison/407c5245-0c6f-4abe-be49-1ff0b25a2938/">as measured by CompareNodes</a>.</p>
