This request is for funding of:

* Maintaining public [RPC services](https://stakeworld.io/docs/rpc) for kusama, kusama commons (assethub, bridgehub), encointer, westend and westend assethub (all included in [polkadot.js.org](https://polkadot.js.org/apps/?rpc=wss://ksm-rpc.stakeworld.io))
* Maintaining [bootnodes](https://stakeworld.io/docs/bootnode) for kusama and westend

In the previous 30 days we served:
* 133.390.042 Kusama & common chains RPC requests
* 37.080.656 Westend & common chains RPC requests

Live data can be seen on our [webpage](https://stakeworld.io/docs/rpc#live-stakeworld-rpc-data). 

It is a follow-up of our [previous opengov](https://kusama.polkassembly.io/referenda/189) and [earlier](https://github.com/stakeworld/stakeworld-treasury#readme) [ended](https://kusama.polkassembly.io/referenda/171) Infrastructure Maintenance Bounty requests. 

Previous request were more post funded (requested at the end or after a period) while this one is more pre funded (at the beginning of the period). Main reason for this is that there seems to be a sentiment against spendings of the treasuries in general (HACNA) and also some discussion about rpc node funding; how many providers do we need, are we going more to a light node enviroment without rpc servers? We would like to have some clarity of our funding in the light of planning our resources. For example [database sizes](https://stakeworld.io/docs/dbsize) of archive nodes are growing fast, we need to deploy extra servers in case the load of our servers gets too high, etc.  

We believe that:
* we provide a valuable service to the community with a reasonable funding
* at this moment rpc services are still needed because accessing the network by light nodes is not very functional/mainstream yet
* it is good to have diversity in providers and also smaller rpc providers should have a place in the ecosystem
* our track record is long enough to earn some trust that we will use pre-funding in a responsible way

Full proposal can be found [here](https://github.com/stakeworld/stakeworld-treasury/blob/master/2023-Q3-kusama.md), hoping for a positive outcome and of course open to discussion/comments.
