This proposal seeks funding to provide public node and API service for Polkadot and Kusama so that all the ecosystem developers and projects can quickly access DOT and KSM networks without setting up their own infrastructure. 

GetBlock will provide the node infrastructure for developers who can use it to create their own decentralized applications and query/broadcast transactions on Polkadot and Kusama. Developers will be able to perform free API requests on DOT and KSM, also, startups and enterprises will be provided with customized infrastructure solutions. This will significantly lower the entry barrier for projects and developers that want to build on top of Polkadot and Kusama systems.
