Blockops Network - Grant Proposal for the development of One-Click Parachain Deployment
Please find a summarized slide here
BlockOps Network is an infrastructure provider focused on making it easy for substrate developers, startups and Parachains to build on Polkadot by abstracting away all Infrastructure challenges they face and speed up the development lifecycle of projects in the Polkadot ecosystem.
We are seeking funding to build out our MVP for One Click Parachain Deployment, Setup Beefy Bare Metal Nodes for on-demand, pay-as-you-go service for Parachain Network Deployment on our robust nodes. This service is designed to reduce DevOps costs for teams by enabling shared server usage on our high-performance nodes.
Our goal is to reduce the complexity of building and setting up node infrastructure by making it incredibly easy for anyone to get started by offering a suite of features including one-click deployment for Parachains, and an on-demand Build-as-a-Service platform for substrate developers to build, test simulate and iterate faster.
We are highly committed to the Polkadot ecosystem and have an established presence with significant upfront capital investment for the past 6months now to deliver reliable and secure services FREE to everyone.
BlockOps Network is dedicated to providing top-notch infrastructure services for our clients. Our mission is to continuously evolve and innovate to meet the changing demands of the Web3 ecosystem. Our team's extensive experience in managing major blockchain networks has equipped us with the skills necessary to provide a high-performance RPC service.
In our journey so far, we have:
-
Implemented a hybrid on-premises and cloud computing strategy and planned expansion to three African locations (Lagos, Nairobi, Tunisia and South Africa) to provide local developers and projects with lower latency and faster blockchain application development.
-
Launched MVP for one-click deployment feature for Parachains, Node Operators and Networks looking to setup robust Infrastructure on Polkadot
-
Consistently worked towards reducing costs quarter-to-quarter.
-
Launched API Service Beta for Polkadot chains (Polkadot, Kusama and Westend)
-
Launched Dedicated Node Service Private Beta
-
Launched Data service for Polkadot Chains
Our proposal includes the introduction of a one-click setup feature for bootstrapping parachains and a build-as-a-service platform for Substrate developers, significantly enhancing the efficiency and reliability of the development process within the Polkadot ecosystem.
Here’s what this means for the Polkadot ecosystem:
-
Faster and Easier Parachain Deployment: Making the technology more accessible and promoting rapid development.
-
Empowerment of Developers: Providing dedicated, optimized machines for substrate development for faster build and iteration processes.
-
High-Performance Infrastructure: Ensuring optimal network performance and reliability.
-
Efficient Resource Utilization: Our on-demand, pay-as-you-go service promotes efficient use of resources, reducing DevOps costs for teams.

Can anyone confirm the existence of the product? Either as a beta tester or as a client? As it stands we only have UI screenshots.

Also, after your vote I tried to reach out to get feedback and then I found this https://twitter.com/saxemberg/status/1671155804316241920?s=46
Not sure if that's the reason you heavily voted NAY but to share more clarity on that.
The initial proposal was for us to setup Bare Metal Servers in strategic locations to deploy parachains on a pay-as-you-go model but based on feedback, we were told the IBP program already handles this, so we applied for the program separately.
I totally understand your concern around decentralization and we share the same view also, however it will have been nice if we got some feedbacks around this before you made your decision.
Hi, can you please confirm that the outcomes of all key deliverables (notably the one-click setup feature for parachains, reliable build-as-a-service platform, and your observability tools) will be open-source, if so, what licence will it be open sourced under?
@james_bayly
Honestly, we haven't figured out the right way to open source this yet, but surely it is going to be open source
We just want to solve a pressing problem first and address everything other areas as we progress
However, all of our products are FREE to use by everyone
