Previous proposal: https://bifrost.subsquare.io/referenda/50
Dear Bifrost Community,
We hereby submit our proposal for funding support to cover the operation and maintenance fees associated with the Subscan Explorer services provided for Bifrost Polkadot Parachain & Bifrost Kusama Parachain.
Service Details:
Subscan has been diligently providing the following essential services for Bifrost Polkadot Parachain & Bifrost Kusama Parachain:
- Computing Resources: Collecting and parsing chain data, and serving web user requests to ensure smooth network operations.
- Database Storage: Indexing and storing chain data for seamless data retrieval and accessibility.
- Network Egress Bandwidth: Maintaining optimal network performance to cater to web user requests.
- Monitoring and DevOps: Implementing an internal alerting pipeline and automation for stable network operations.
- Node Status Monitoring and Notification: Promptly notify the network development team of any issues.
- Technical Support: Offering comprehensive technical assistance for the networks' uninterrupted functioning.
Summary of Current Charges:
Following the cooperation contract and agreement signed by both parties, the details of the fees are as follows.
Due to the characteristics of delayed payment within the treasury mechanism, we will be invoicing for three months of operational fees in advance, covering the period of 2025 Q1. This proactive measure is essential to ensure the ongoing stability and maintenance of the project.
Subscan Maintenance Packages offers tiered pricing based on actual usage of data services:
- Basic: Up to 200 GB at $799/month; beyond 200 GB at $5.3/GB; upgrades automatically to the next plan after 350 GB.
- Advanced: Up to 500 GB at $1,699/month; beyond 500 GB at $5.2/GB; upgrades automatically after 750 GB.
- Professional: Up to 1 TB at $2,999/month; beyond 1 TB at $5/GB.
