A Foundation of Connectivity
A robust infrastructure of high-quality RPC services continues to be the backbone of the Moonbeam ecosystem. These services provide the critical bridge that enables developers and applications to seamlessly interact with the Moonriver, Moonbeam, and Moonbase Alpha networks. As we approach a new 6-months funding cycle, we’re again reaching out to both our valued existing RPC service providers and potential new partners.
Recent Developments
For Q4 2025 and Q1 2026, the Treasury Council settled on funding proposals from UnitedBlock and OnFinality, supporting their continued great service to Moonbeam’s RPC robust infrastructure. The quality and reliability of these services have been a fundamental building block, contributing to our ecosystem’s growth, stability and success in development activity.
Call for New Proposals
The Treasury Council now invites all RPC service providers — both current partners and newcomers — to submit proposals for the upcoming Q2 2026 + Q3 2026 funding period.
Proposal Requirements
Your submission should include:
- Detailed description of core services to be provided
- Estimated call volumes and comprehensive cost breakdown
- Pricing in USD denomination
- Inclusion of the
eth_getLogsRPC method (required) - Information about bootnode operation on all three networks (if applicable)
Important Dates & Submission Process
- Submission Deadline: March 10th, 2026, 11:59 PM UTC.
- Submission Location: Create a new topic under the Governance — Treasury Proposals section here in the Forum.
Evaluation Criteria
Finding the balance between service quality, decentralization, and expenditure responsibility remains our top priority. Submitted proposals will be evaluated on:
- Cost efficiency and value proposition
- Service quality metrics and guarantees
- Decentralization strategy, redundancy measures, and geographic distribution
- Proven track record in blockchain RPC service provisioning
- History of cost optimization while maintaining service excellence
- Past contributions to the Moonbeam ecosystem
- Adherence to the Moonbeam Code of Conduct
- For incumbents, disruption costs if services were to be curtailed
- Trace & Trace API service capabilities
- Implementation of the
eth_getLogsRPC method
Treasury Flow and Funding Mechanism
Following the enactment of RT3401 on Moonriver and Moonbeam earlier this year, our improved New Treasury Flow will affect the funding process.
- Funding requests are to be submitted USD-denominated only
- Starting with with Q2 2026 RPC funding will be paid out in stablecoins
- Funding will be paid out upfront and separately for each quarter
This approach decreases efforts of submitting a proposal and removes the requirement for any funds to be locked up, eliminating the risk of slashed deposits.
Post-Submission Process
After the submission period closes:
- The Treasury Council will review all proposals internally
- We may reach out with questions and clarification requests in comments below your forum post
Please monitor the forum closely during this review period to address any inquiries promptly - The Council will publicly signal its support or non-support for each proposal and give reasoning on its assessments
- With the New Treasury Flow in place now, selected winners will be asked to submit a beneficiary address for Moonbeam and Moonriver
- We will then inform the beneficiaries once we have put the proposals on-chain and approved them on-chain
- Approved proposal payouts will be executed at the end of each networks current spend period (6 day intervals)
Building Together
The bi-annual proposal cycle ensures an equitable, transparent process for all stakeholders while allowing the Treasury Council to maintain predictability in long-term expenditures. We remain committed to supporting high-quality infrastructure that powers our growing ecosystem.
