Phala Network is asking for 5,664,995 PHA to pay for their hardware and cloud infrastructure costs from Q1 to Q3 of 2025. They have been working on expanding their network by investing in things like data centers, cloud services, and special computers called GPUs. These GPUs help with a new kind of work called confidential AI, which keeps information private. 

Phala Network has been making sure their network is safe, stable, and ready for the future. They have also been helping developers and the community by providing important services. They promise to keep sharing information and updates with everyone. The money they are asking for will help them keep doing this important work.

Treasury Proposal for Infrastructure Support Investment (Q1–Q3 2025)

Dwellir - Phala Public RPC Endpoint Services (Q3 & Q4 2025)

Hello there, little buddy! Let me tell you about a new plan for Phala and Khala. They need some money to keep their computer stuff working well. They have a helper called Subscan that does important jobs like collecting information and making sure everything runs smoothly.

Here's what Subscan does:
1. Collects and reads computer stuff called "chain data."
2. Saves information in a big computer memory called "database storage."
3. Makes sure the internet works well for everyone.
4. Watches over everything and fixes problems.
5. Tells the team if something goes wrong.
6. Helps with any computer questions.

Now, they need to pay for these services, and they have different plans to choose from. They used a lot of data, so they need to pay $14,582.1. They will change this money into a special thing called PHA.

To do this, they will use a special number called the "PHA EMA7 Price" to know how much PHA they need. They will get 128,348.868527 PHA to pay for everything.

This money will help Phala and Khala keep working well and growing. They hope you can help them with this plan. If you have any questions, they are here to help. Thank you for listening!

Subscan Funding Proposal for Phala & Khala Operation and Maintenance Fee: 2025 Q2

This proposal asks for money from the Phala Treasury to pay for a security check of the Dstack framework, which is a very important part of Phala Cloud. Dstack helps keep computer programs and data secret and safe. A company called zkSecurity did the security check and found some problems, but they were fixed quickly. This makes Phala Cloud more secure and trustworthy. The proposal includes a full report of the security check, the fixes made, and other important information. The people who made this proposal want the Phala Council and community to support it.

Phala Treasury Proposal: Security Audit of Dstack Confidential Computing Infrastructure for Phala Cloud

A proposal has been made by 42RrwG92YkDW5nE4as3Zp1qfWZh4FszeKVFgV7KcLKdSyTiM on 7th July 2025, requesting $15,300 USD or 157,731.96 PHA for the ongoing and advanced costs of running high-performance, scalable, and reliable public infrastructure for Phala in Q3 and Q4 of 2025. 

Public RPC services are needed for Phala because 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 costs and barriers to accessing a new protocol.

OnFinality, as Polkadot's largest and most cost-efficient infrastructure provider, offers scalable free public API services for Phala. They focus on performance/reliability, providing more value from their Ultimate API service, and cost optimization. In 2024, they upgraded their Phala endpoints to multi-region setups in Hong Kong and North Virginia, achieving 99.93% uptime over the past 90 days and guaranteeing 99.9% uptime with financial penalties.

The proposal includes a fixed price for combined running costs for Phala's infrastructure for Q3 and Q4 2025, with a 15% discount for paying 6 months in advance. The total cost is $15,300, covering capital and operating expenses, administration time, onboarding costs, backup costs, and monitoring and right-sizing by the OnFinality team.

OnFinality | High Performance Public Infrastructure (Q3 & Q4 2025)

Phala Network submitted a Treasury proposal to request reimbursement for event-related expenses in the first half of 2025. They participated in several influential Web3 conferences and developer gatherings to promote Phat Cloud and Dstack as core infrastructure offerings in confidential computing and AI-agent space. The proposal covers costs like venue fees, sponsorships, travel, accommodation, promotional materials, bounties, and local logistics. The events include ConsensusHK 2025, EthDenver, Learn-to-hack AI-Agent evolution Hackathon in HK, Bitcoin2025, IC3 Blockchain Camp 2025, and EthCC 2025. The total expenses amount to 82,100 USD, which is equivalent to 813,677 PHA based on the EMA7 value of PHA on 11th July 2025.

Treasury Proposal for 2025 H1 Phala Events

A motion has been proposed to add three new Gatekeepers (GK) to the network to replace some old ones. The plan involves registering three new gatekeepers with specific addresses in the phalaRegistry. The registration of these gatekeepers will happen all at once, meaning if one fails, they all fail. This ensures that the process is safe and consistent.

Retire IAS pruntime and enforce DCAP pruntime - Council motion #123

Dear Phala Community,

We are asking for money to keep Subscan Explorer services working for Phala and Khala from Q3 2024 to Q1 2025. Khala network stopped working, but we still keep old data for people to see. We found a cheaper way to save money and still keep the data available. We won't charge an extra 5% service fee because PHA has good money value.

Subscan helps Phala and Khala by:
- Using computers to collect and understand chain data
- Storing chain data in a database
- Keeping the network working well
- Watching and fixing any problems
- Telling the team if there are any issues
- Giving technical help when needed

We will ask for money for 3 months in advance to make sure everything keeps working well. The cost depends on how much data we use. Here are the prices:

- Basic: Up to 200 GB for $799/month, more than 200 GB is $5.3/GB
- Advanced: Up to 500 GB for $1,699/month, more than 500 GB is $5.2/GB
- Professional: Up to 1 TB for $2,999/month, more than 1 TB is $5/GB

Here is how much data we used and how much it costs:

For Phala:
- 2024 Q3: 915.86 GB for $8,997
- 2024 Q4: 1006.99 GB for $8,997
- 2025 Q1: 1162.42 GB for $11,073.3

For Khala:
- 2024 Q3: 1595.25 GB for $17,565.75
- 2024 Q4: 1639 GB for $18,222
- 2025 Q1: A special price of $799/month for $2,397

We need a total of $67,252, and we will change this amount into PHA based on the price on 2025-04-01. We need your help to keep Phala and Khala working well. Thank you for your support!

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.
