Report &amp; Proposal: High Performance Public Infrastructure for Integritee Kusama (Q1 2025) Proponent: 2L3eYPwB1oM9RnMBBp6APhKSXKG4KmHo7VqT2VPVTnXABkoT Date: 27th February 2025 Amount Requested: USD $3,105 Short description: Ongoing &amp; advanced costs for the running of high performance, scalable, and reliable public infrastructure in January, February, March 2025 for Integritee Kusama
Why are Public RPC Services Needed for Integritee Kusama
Setting up blockchain infrastructure is difficult, time consuming, and expensive:
<ul>
<li>It requires a level of server development expertise that many do not have</li>
<li>It&rsquo;s costly to run a full node nearly continuously, especially when your dApp&rsquo;s traffic is low and inconsistent.</li>
<li>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.</li>
<li>DevOps requires constant attention - time that would be better spent elsewhere building.</li>
</ul>
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 provide access to one click deploy dedicated Integritee 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 Q1 2025 The total combined running cost is USD $6,210.00. 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. Item Periods of Service (Months) Monthly Cost Total Cost for Q1 Integritee Kusama Public RPC (3 months): $2,700 Treasury Administration &amp; Conversion Fee (15%): $405
Total: $3,105.00

OnFinality Public RPC Service - Integritee Kusama - Q1 2025

Treasury

PolkaWorld proposes a social contract with the Polkadot treasury for operations and maintenance from June to August 2023 with main goal to continue supporting the Chinese community's education on Polkadot. Activities include publishing articles, hosting meetups, conducting online broadcasts, producing educational videos, and interviewing ecosystem teams. PolkaWorld emphasizes its extensive collaboration since 2019 and highlights past contributions, such as article publications and event hosting. The proposal underscores a commitment to regular reporting and provision of review processes for accountability.

Reward 20 collators of the Polkadot System Parachains for 2 month operational expenses. The tip amount varies from 59-512 $DOT.
