IBP Bounty Top-Up

(1.03M DOT)

Summary:
The Infrastructure Builders Program (IBP) is a collective of independent infrastructure service providers that supports the Polkadot ecosystem and its parachains with RPC and ‘IT department’ services. Established in 2022, IBP is a globally distributed and resilient ecosystem service provider, thanks to its unique design. This proposal seeks to secure continued funding for the services it provides to the ecosystem.

!Note!:
The requested amount is a top-up for the IBP bounty, which is managed by five Polkadot-native curators. The IBP bounty pays compensation for the services provided only retroactively. The amount is for the theoretical max deployment capacity. Actual annualized cost was $2,490,996 for 552 Relay and System-chain and 154 Parachain RPC nodes

RPC services are all paid retroactively for delivered services monthly by USD value.

Edit:
Various ecosystem members have provided feedback and IBP services will not be offered to ecosystem participants that have, beyond all doubt, defrauded the treasury.
