RadiumBlock Treasury Proposal for RPC and Bootnode Services — Moonbeam, Moonriver, and Moonbase Alpha (Q1–Q2 2026)

Abstract

RadiumBlock proposes RPC and bootnode infrastructure services for Moonbeam, Moonriver, and Moonbase Alpha for Q1 and Q2 2026. Our infrastructure has been continuously operating across all three networks, supporting live production traffic and ensuring reliable access for developers.

This proposal reflects ongoing service delivery during this period and seeks to align continued infrastructure support with the treasury process. We are open to feedback from the community and contributors on how best to structure this support moving forward.

RadiumBlock provides globally distributed, high-performance RPC infrastructure with no rate limits, optimized query handling, and a strong track record within the Moonbeam ecosystem.

TL;DR:

RadiumBlock proposes continued RPC and bootnode infrastructure services for Moonbeam, Moonriver, and Moonbase Alpha at a fixed cost of $1,450/month ($8,700 for 6 months).

  • Globally distributed infrastructure (20+ locations)

  • Currently supporting live production traffic within the Moonbeam ecosystem

  • Optimized support for eth_getLogs

  • Bootnodes and snapshots included

  • No rate limits

  • Hybrid infrastructure for cost efficiency and resilience

Alignment with Moonbeam Evaluation Criteria

Cost Efficiency & Value

  • Hybrid infrastructure (bare-metal + cloud) for cost-efficient performance

  • High throughput with optimized routing and resource utilization

  • Fixed pricing with no rate limits for predictable scaling

Service Quality

  • 24/7 monitoring with automated failover

  • Strong observed uptime across regions (Jan–Apr 2026), with production networks consistently above 99.8% (detailed reports included in the * full proposal here.)

Decentralization & Reliability

  • 20+ global locations across 6 continents

  • Geographic and infrastructure-level redundancy

  • Intelligent DNS routing for low latency and failover

Proven Track Record

  • Supporting Moonbeam ecosystem since Feb 2024

  • 1.49B+ requests served in the past 6 months

  • No major service disruptions impacting users

Ecosystem Contributions

  • Active RPC provider for Moonbeam and Moonriver

  • Snapshot services for faster node sync

  • Ongoing developer support via public channels

Operational Continuity

  • No migration or endpoint changes required

  • Existing infrastructure already handling production traffic

  • Zero transition risk

Technical Capability

  • Full support for eth_getLogs, optimized for high-volume queries
