This provides the following three outcomes: - Grow the ecosystem by reducing the barriers to entry to access a high performance nodes - Help scale existing projects in the ecosystem by providing infrastructure services that can be depended on - Assist with the testing of all networks by providing valuable data back to the community on how validator nodes are running and scaling as the network traffic increases (we've made Github issues based on behaviour we've observed) The motion aims **to cover the costs for Q3 2021** of the rpc nodes service by OnFinality: the full proposal can be found [HERE](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/treasury/72), please review and vote at your convenience!
