**Proposal Summary: Costs for running secure, reliable, and scalable public infrastructure for Polkadot, Statemint, and Westend**

**Project Summary**

Pinknode is a node-as-a-service platform focused on providing shared API endpoint and node operation services catering exclusively to the Polkadot ecosystem. We launched our MVP in June 2021 and have been providing free RPC services to the Polkadot ecosystem’s participants since Q3 2021. Our mission is to aid the Polkadot protocol in achieving its vision of a multi-chain future by providing easy-to-use, reliable, and scalable infrastructure services which remove an entire layer of complexities for developers to start building on Polkadot/Substrate.

Ecosystem participants can access our free API service by creating their own API Key on Pinknode Portal or using our public endpoints (listed at https://polkadot.js.org/apps). In a bid to reduce barriers to entry and attract more developers to the ecosystem, our premium plan, which includes archival data and higher rate limits, is also free for all builders and participants of Polkadot to utilize. We are not charging our users anything at this moment.
