Dwellir’s Proposal for Moonbeam, Moonriver, and Moonbase Alpha RPC Services (Q4 2025 + Q1 2026 )

ABSTRACT

Dwellir is committed to empowering developers worldwide by providing instant data access and robust infrastructure tailored for web3 applications. With extensive experience supporting Moonbeam, Moonriver, Moonbase Alpha, and over 100 other blockchain networks, Dwellir sets itself apart through its ownership and operation of dedicated bare metal servers. This infrastructure approach ensures superior performance, enhanced security, full control over configurations, and consistent reliability.

This proposal specifically seeks funding to continue providing fully managed Public Archival RPC services for the Moonbeam ecosystem, utilizing distinct and specialized node software that ensures optimal performance and security. Our infrastructure, strategically located across data centers in Sweden, Tunisia, and Singapore, guarantees high availability, fault tolerance, efficient load balancing, and seamless operational continuity during maintenance periods.

Recognized globally for exceptional geographical performance, Dwellir’s service has processed Q2 Dwellir processed 12.1 billion requests in Q2/Q3 2025, demonstrating proven capability and robust scalability.

The proposed budget of $11,400 for six months covers comprehensive operational requirements, including traffic management, storage, memory allocation, and CPU utilization, ensuring continuous, enterprise-level service delivery that directly contributes to the reliability and growth of the Moonbeam blockchain community.

MOTIVATION

The Dwellir mission is to serve developers worldwide with instant data access and a comprehensive suite of tools so that they can build web3 applications.

PROJECT OVERVIEW AND EXPERIENCE

We currently run RPC services for Moonbeam, Moonriver and Moonbase Alpha and more than 150 other blockchain networks. Currently, we are processing 1.5 billion requests per day on average and you will see throughout this proposal that our experience within the Moonbeam ecosystem is extensive.

One of the key differentiators with Dwellir is that we own and operate our own bare metal machines which have several important effects:

  • Performance: Bare metal servers offer superior performance and low-latency communication, essential for decentralized networks to efficiently process transactions and reach consensus.

  • Security: Bare metal servers provide enhanced security and isolation, safeguarding sensitive data and assets in a decentralized network.

  • Control: With bare metal servers, node operators have full control over hardware and software configurations, ensuring adherence to network rules and consensus mechanisms.

  • Reliability: Bare metal servers offer robustness and stability, making them reliable choices for continuous operation in decentralized networks.

  • Expertise: Our team has a proven track record of creating tailor-made blockchain infrastructure that align with the Moonbeam community’s specific needs.

RELEVANT NEWS

Dwellir has introduced GEO load balancing between our nodes in Europe and APAC (Singapore), ensuring a faster and more reliable experience for our users. By routing traffic to the closest and most responsive node, we minimize latency and enhance performance for Moonbeam applications. This upgrade strengthens our commitment to the community.

The new GEO load-balanced RPC endpoints have new URLs. Please update your configurations to the new URLs:

  • Moonbeam: moonbeam-rpc.n.dwellir.com

  • Moonriver: moonriver-rpc.n.dwellir.com

  • Moonbase: moonbase-rpc.n.dwellir.com

The old endpoints (*.dwellir.com without .n.) will be decommissioned soon, so we strongly recommend switching to the new addresses as soon as possible to ensure uninterrupted service.

SERVICE STATISTICS

During Q2 2024 and so far in Q3 2025 Dwellir processed 12.1 billion requests for the Moonbeam ecosystem - more than three times the previous 6 months.

OVERALL COST

Total cost for six (6) months is USD 11,400

Chain Cost per month
Moonbeam $750
Moonriver $750
Moonbase-alpha $400
Monthly Total $1,900
Six Months Total $11,400

This includes all three services across three geographical regions (Europe, Asia, North Africa). More detailed costs in the full proposal.

SPECIFICATIONS

Connections and Node Methods

Dwellir sets max connections to 10,000 concurrent WebSockets. From time to time we increase this to 30,000 to deal with events such as the ordinals rush.

Dwellir maintains multiple 2 Gigabit external connections with the option to raise this to 10 Gigabit.

Dwellir allows for tracing methods including eth_getLogs as standard.

Location of Nodes

Dwellir owns all of our own hardware and current we host services across data centers in four locations:

  • Sweden (site 1)

  • Sweden (site 2)

  • Tunisia

  • Nigeria*

  • Singapore

*Nigeria is where we host services that are connected to the IBP program. These services ARE NOT included in this proposal. We DO NOT use that datacenter or equipment in order to fulfill other proposals.

USE OF TREASURY FUNDS

To cover the costs of hardware operation and maintenance. We own and operate our own bare metal services in 4 locations.

Deliverables

  • RPC endpoints continuously maintained for Moonbeam, Moonriver, and Moonbase-Alpha with near 100% uptime.

  • Bootnodes - already up and running for seamless peer-to-peer network connectivity.

REQUIREMENTS

  • Estimated call volumes: 12 billion

  • Pricing in USD denomination: USD $11,400

  • Inclusion of the eth_getLogs RPC method: YES

  • Information about bootnode operation on all three networks: YES for all networks

Cost for 6-months: USD $11,400

Dear @benn_69,

The @TreasuryCouncil has carefully reviewed all RPC funding proposals for Q4 2025 & Q1 2026.

While we regret to share that your proposal was not selected this round, please know that the decision was extremely close — your offer was highly competitive and very well received by the Council.

We especially appreciate your significant price decrease despite the notable increase in traffic, as well as your continued delivery of reliable, high-quality RPC services.

We strongly encourage you to reapply next term, as your services are genuinely valued, and we look forward to your future participation.

Many thanks and kind regards :sparkles:

Good evening @_yrn ¨

Based on the other two proposals, my guess is this is due to our lack of coverage of the North America and Asia-Pacific regions?

If we were to support those two regions in the future, would that make our bid more competitive?

I’m somewhat surprised this wasn’t asked as a question to our team—whether we could expand our offering to those regions. It would have been a quick “yes.”

You can expect our application in the next round where we will make this clear.

Hey @benn_69,

Yes — decentralisation and geographic distribution (AF, APAC, EU, SA, NA) are part of our evaluation criteria. The more regions covered the better.

Your wish that we had reached out regarding potential improvements / cost rebates as we did in the past is fully understood and noted. However, all three proposals were already very competitive — both in quality and overall price — so the Council decided to evaluate them as submitted.

This was one of the most discussed and closest decisions we’ve ever had — not an easy one by any means. With current traffic levels, the Council opted to fund two RPC providers. This may be subject to change next term.

We’d be genuinely happy to see a Dwellir proposal again next term :yellow_heart:
