AYE - this is in-line with the ongoing agreed costs for maintaining these services

NAY for me.
See previous discussion at https://basilisk.subsquare.io/treasury/proposals/10 (and on Telegram on those dates) which wasn't satisfactory imo. If the audit is possible, let's do it together with other chains using the same service (it would help to see your total deployment costs and total revenue for/from all parachains together), otherwise I suggest we negotiate some lower tier service level and price, because (as stated previously), the expenses don't seem commesurated to the observed activity on the chain, ie. ~9 millions requests per day reported by you is not coherent with any of the on-chain activity metrics at https://basilisk.subscan.io/tools/charts .
It could be due to spam or yourself inflating the numbers to increase your ask. Sorry but it's time to challenge you a bit because current bills are too high for the current chain fees, ie. unsustainable. We should lower the costs until we can't increase revenues. The quality of service may be reduced for the time being until we find a new equilibrium. If possible, please offer an alternative.

Also, this time I can't find the rationale for the pricing in the linked document. Please include it so people know how you calculated the total due for each month.

Thank you for your message. I would like to address the concerns raised regarding the usage and costs associated with our public RPC service for the Basilisk network.

While it is true that the numbers of transactions and active accounts are quite low for the Basilisk network, we still see these volumes of RPC calls. The majority of the RPC traffic revolves around keeping track of chain and state updates for passive consumers of the data. This can be due to wallets fetching data for users without balances, indexing operations, block explorerars, governance platforms (like Subsquare that we use here) and other such uses. Many of these users choose to fetch data for every block on the basilisk chain, of which around 200 000 are added each month, and are not particularly economical about their use of the public RPC services. At any one time there are about 100 to 200 active websockets. We are not entirely certain about the exact details of how individuals user our public RPC services and exactly who they are since as a matter of principle we do not perform extensive analysis or data collection on our public RPC services.

What we can say is that we strive to provide a high quality of service on our public RPC services for the benefit of the various communities involved without imposing unnecessary and arbitrary limits such as rate limits and quotas. This unfortunately means that we also have to accept large amounts of potentially unnecessary traffic.

Best regards,
Team Dwellir

Thanks for the reply. I confirm that I don't want us to pay for those not-caring "users" wasting that many millions of RPC calls a month. As it currently stands and given the limited info you gave us, we still cannot even rule out you are inflating the numbers for your own profit.

A new proposal & solution will have to be found.
Kind regards.

Dwellir is currently serving the Basilisk community with a public RPC endpoint service. We are serving on average 8,900,000 requests per day during the last quarter.

This proposal is to cover the costs for July, August and September in 2024. We are requesting $2,595 for this period.

Read the [full proposal here](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Ywpr1T1wFE7eurbjAQ1nb45h0WoHD0h8Qon5Fk5KsNA/edit?usp=sharing).

The BSX price was calculated as the average price over the last 7-days.
