The RadiumBlock team, an infrastructure provider for the Polkadot/Substrate community, is seeking reimbursement for the provision of RPC services for the Polkadot networks for Q2 2023. We operate one the highest performance RPC service in polkadot ecosystem (https://www.comparenodes.com/global-node-comparison/407c5245-0c6f-4abe-be49-1ff0b25a2938/)

RadiumBlock’s RPC include:

• Archive node based RPC endpoints
• Support both websocket and http for RPC requests
• 12 location PoP
• Use our on-prem high availability hardware at collocated data centers
• Better cost and decentralization
• Low latency access across the world

We are seeking

• $22,050 for Q2 2023

Service Usage Summary

For Q2 2023 (April-June)
