OnFinality High Performance Public Infrastructure (Q3 & Q4, 2025)

Kintsugi Proponent: a3c2E9dmBARJfPWgahQK5Y2B6CCALpdgft3dhRK7r738rHj1G
Date: 8th July 2025
Total Requested KINT: USD $3,636.3 or 19,762.50 KINT
Short description: Ongoing & advanced costs for the running of high performance, scalable, and reliable public infrastructure in Q3 and Q4 of 2025 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.

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 reduce the pain of getting started on Kintsugi Network 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 Kintsugi nodes to any cloud of your choosing.

Service Details
In the last 3 months (2025-04-01 and 2025-06-31)

Average Daily Requests: 2.7 Million
Max Daily Requests 7 Million
Egress in period: 234 GB
Requests in period: 246 Million
Requests since Inception: 3.3 Billion

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 Kintsugi for all of Q3 and Q4 2025. By paying 6 months up-front we will apply a 15% discount to our services.

The total combined running cost is USD $3,636.30. 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.

Kintsugi RPC: $620 * 6 - 15% = $3,162
Treasury Administration & Conversion Fee: 15% = $474.30
Total: $3,636.30
