Short description: Ongoing & advanced costs for the running of high performance, scalable, and reliable public infrastructure in Q1 and Q2 of 2024 for Kintsugi.


Why are Public RPC Services Needed for Kintsugi

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.
