Dwellir is a community service provider that offers a public Phala RPC endpoint. They have proposed a plan to cover costs for Q1 and Q2 of 2025. The proposal includes usage statistics from Q4 2024 and the PHA/USD price is calculated based on the average price over the last 30 days. The Phala Council has requested Dwellir to resubmit their previous proposal.

Dwellir - Phala Public RPC Endpoint Services (Q1 & Q2 2025)

A proposal has been made by 42RrwG92YkDW5nE4as3Zp1qfWZh4FszeKVFgV7KcLKdSyTiM on 24th January 2025, requesting $16,490 USD worth of PHA tokens (102,422.4 PHA) to cover the ongoing and advanced costs for running high-performance, scalable, and reliable public infrastructure for Phala and Khala in Q1 and Q2 of 2025. 

Public RPC services are necessary for Phala as setting up blockchain infrastructure is difficult, time-consuming, and expensive. It requires server development expertise, is costly to run a full node continuously, and managing production-level infrastructure is challenging. A shared node API service helps reduce these barriers and costs. 

OnFinality, as Polkadot's largest and most cost-efficient infrastructure provider, offers scalable free public API services for Phala and Khala. They focus on performance/reliability, providing more value from their Ultimate API service, and cost optimization. In 2024, they upgraded their Phala and Khala endpoints to multi-region setups in Hong Kong and North Virginia, achieving 100% and 99.99% 90-day uptime respectively. They are the only RPC provider to guarantee 99.9% uptime with actual financial penalties. 

OnFinality's Khala and Phala API services run entirely on OnFinality Cloud, their private hardware and self-service Cloud, allowing them to upgrade both setups to multi-region at no additional cost to the community. The total cost for their Phala (H1 2025) and Khala (January 2025) RPC services is $16,490 USD.

High Performance Public Infrastructure (Q1 & Q2 2025)

- **What:** Request for funds to run public blockchain infrastructure for Phala and Khala in 2025.  
- **Why Needed:** Running blockchain nodes is hard, expensive, and requires expert skills.  
- **Solution:** A shared service makes it easier and cheaper for developers to use Phala and Khala.  
- **Benefits:** Fast, reliable, and low-cost access to blockchain nodes worldwide.  
- **Performance:** Achieved 100% and 99.99% uptime for Phala and Khala in 2024.  
- **Cost:** Total request is $16,490 USD for services in early 2025.  
- **Goal:** Help developers build apps on Phala and Khala without high costs or technical challenges.

- Some Khala account balances were not reported correctly in motion #106.
- The missing amounts were added on Ethereum.
- Three transactions were made to fix this.
- The team needs to move money from the bridge account to fix the ledger.

Phala Runtime Upgrade v1271 - motion #104

Close HRMP channels to Parallel - motion #103

Phala Network is seeking funding to extend and enhance the Phala Network Ambassador Program for the second half of 2024. The allocated funds will be used to support and expand the ambassador community, which is integral to increasing brand awareness, fostering community engagement, and driving the adoption of Phala Network's products and ecosystem. 

The current 21 Phala Ambassadors cover languages including Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, and more. To increase the number of Phala ambassadors is to cover more time zones and languages, ensuring Phala’s global representation and outreach. 

The objectives are to expand the Ambassador Program, strengthen community engagement, and promote brand awareness. To achieve these objectives, a total budget of 1.43m $PHA is requested for community building initiatives and ambassador incentives and rewards. 

The implementation plan includes recruitment, training and onboarding, and monitoring and evaluation. The community KPIs for H2 2024 are to onboard 30 new Ambassadors and have 40 ambassador-led events globally. 

By funding this proposal, the Phala Network community will directly benefit from a strengthened ambassador program, leading to greater brand visibility, enhanced community engagement, and increased adoption of Phala Network’s innovative AI solutions.

Phala Community Budget - H2 2024

Phala Network is moving 47.25M PHA from the Phala compute reward pool to the Khala compute reward pool. This is to balance the unlocked rewards between Phala and Khala. 

Gemini was launched on 8/4/2022 and since then, Phala's team has moved 381.8M PHA rewards from the locked compute reward subsidy reservation on Ethereum to the Khala subsidy pool in two separate transactions. 

The mining rewards on Khala have been issued to the workers, so the reward budget for the next 2 halving periods will be calculated based on the mining rewards on Khala now. 

Phala and Khala share the same compute reward schedule and subsidy pool after the Gemini Update. 

The force transfer target account is a 2-of-3 multisig wallet owned by the Phala team.
