**Date:** 7th July 2025

**Amount Requested:** USD $2,139 ( TBC TEER) 

**Short description:** Ongoing & advanced costs for the running of high performance, scalable, and reliable public infrastructure in July, August, September  2025  for Integritee Kusama

**Service Details**

The OnFinality Integritee Kusama API service commenced in August 2021.  

In Q2 2025  we served a total of 53 million responses.

Our 90 Day Uptime for Integritee Kusama is 99.91%, as of 7th July 2025

**Why are Public RPC Services Needed for Integritee Kusama**

Setting up blockchain infrastructure is difficult, time consuming, and expensive:

* It requires a level of server development expertise that many do not have
* It’s costly to run a full node nearly continuously, especially when your dApp’s traffic is low and inconsistent. 
* Running production level infrastructure is especially tricky. You need to autoscale quickly to handle bursty traffic, and you want to provide services in different regions around the world to provide low latency services - all of this is incredibly costly, but comes with significant economies of scale for a provider.
* DevOps requires constant attention - time that would be better spent elsewhere building.



A shared node API service helps mitigate these barriers of entry to trying accessing a new protocol by reducing all these costs to near zero. We manage all the nodes for our users and distribute them across the world (with intelligent routing) to achieve global scalability from day 1, we monitor each node and ensure that they meet certain service levels, and we have the expertise and scale to handle production workloads and high peak traffic.

In summary, we try to reduce the pain of getting started on Integritee Kusama and minimise the costs of accessing secure nodes while traffic from your dApp is low. When you grow, you can continue to use our shared API service, or we also [<u>provide access to one click deploy dedicated Integritee nodes</u>](https://onfinality.io/dedicated_nodes)  to any cloud of your choosing. 

**Costings**

We are using a fixed price to allow us to bill in advance and to simplify the administration of this proposal, as well as provide cost clarity to both parties. This proposal includes combined running costs for our infrastructure for Integritee Kusama in Q3 2025

The total combined running cost is USD $2,139.00. This is all inclusive of capital and operating expenses, administration time from OnFinality DevOps, onboarding costs, backup costs, and all other monitoring and right-sizing by our team.

Integritee Kusama Public RPC: 3 x $620 = $1,860
Treasury Admin & Conversion: 15% = $279
Total: $2,139
