This is a follow-up proposal on what we [submitted in August](https://kusama.polkassembly.io/post/910), to further fund the development of the RPC service and to cover the maintenance costs of it.

This new proposal includes two Milestones.

**Milestone 1**: Run the Kusama RPC service on new dedicated hardware, to increase the performance of the service.

**Milestone 2**: Onboard a Rust developer to work with the RPC code to make it use resources much more efficiently. We found a problem, during the last quarter, with the scaling of the RPC-service and have spent a lot of time troubleshooting this bottleneck. We published a report in [this Github-issue](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot/issues/4064#issuecomment-979449201) about it. This optimization work will reduce the cost for all RPC service providers in the community.

This proposal only covers Milestone 1 and 2 for now, while in upcoming maintenance proposals we will submit Milestone 1 (continued maintenance) and Milestone 3 (further development of the RPC code).

- Our RPC service is online and the pull request can be [found here](https://github.com/polkadot-js/apps/pull/6620).
