Terra Classic Infrastructure Proposal

Terra Classic Infrastructure Proposal - Why Allnodes Deserves Your Support Have you ever heard of a silent hero? One that stands by you, rain or shine, asking for nothing in return? Meet Allnodes, the unsung champion of the Terra Classic blockchain. Here's Why They're Remarkable: 1. Reliability Like No Other: TFL wallets rely on RPCs provided by Allnodes. Guess what? In the last six months, there hasn't been a single downtime or issue. That's right, not one! Publicnode by Allnodes isn't just a solution; it's a reliable solution. 2. Generosity Beyond Measure: From the very beginning, Allnodes has been offering their top-notch services for free. They've never once asked for a penny, even when times were tough. 3. A Pillar of Support: When TCVITA approached Allnodes for infrastructure, they hoped for regular payments. But when TCVITA could only pay for a month, did Allnodes walk away? No. They stood firm, operating at a 100% loss, just to ensure Terra Classic had the support it needed. 4. Commitment That's Unwavering: Allnodes has been a beacon of stability for Terra Classic. Whether it was a critical update, a bug-fix, or nodes transitioning to v2.2.1, Allnodes was there, ensuring everything ran smoothly. 5. A Promise They Stand By: Regardless of how the community votes, Allnodes has vowed to continue providing everything they currently offer. Their dedication is unwavering, and they've proven time and again that they're here for the long haul. 6. Value Beyond Measure: Just to give you an idea of their commitment, hiring just one developer at Allnodes costs more than what's being proposed. They're willing to go above and beyond for the community, and that's something truly special. In this proposal, a pivotal point I wish to stress is the importance of consistency in our payment approach to endpoint providers. If we choose to pay one provider, then we should extend this courtesy to all. Conversely, if we decide not to pay one, then none should receive payment. Allnodes serves as a prime example of this principle. Despite not receiving payment, they have affirmed their commitment to not discontinuing any infrastructure essential to our blockchain. This commitment from Allnodes underscores the idea that even if we decide not to fund any of the endpoint providers in the future, our chain's integrity remains intact and will continue to receive unwavering support from Allnodes. In Conclusion: Allnodes' dedication to upholding our blockchain infrastructure without expecting payment highlights the core values they uphold. Our blockchain ecosystem is rooted in principles like balance, diversity, fairness, and equality. We believe in offering advantages to every contributor, ensuring no particular group gains undue favour. Now, we have a chance to show our gratitude. An optional monthly payment is on the table, not as a fee, but as a token of appreciation for everything Allnodes has done for us. Let's come together and give Allnodes the recognition and support they truly deserve. After all, heroes should be celebrated, shouldn't they? Allnodes Infrastructure Allnodes has been a backbone to the Terra Classic blockchain, providing a comprehensive infrastructure service suite that ensures our blockchain remains robust and responsive. The cost of this infrastructure far exceeds the proposed optional payment amount not even counting the team of dedicated developers. If compared to other providers, the optional payment is nominal, yet provides a high level of dedication, care & commitment. Here's a breakdown of what Allnodes provides: Endpoints: 1. Eight LCD: Light Client Daemon that facilitates interactions with our blockchain through a REST API. 2. Eight Mantlemint - Fast core optimized for serving massive user queries. 3. Eight RPC/gRPC: Remote Procedure Call, which provides a method for our nodes to communicate. 4. Eight FCD: A crucial bridge that fetches, interprets and indexes data from the blockchain, allowing smoother blockchain data queries for applications. Specification of Infrastructure: 1. Unlimited traffic - Currently serving 35 million requests every 24 hours 2. Load Balancing with High Availability: Ensures uninterrupted service even when single nodes face issues. 3. Geo-Balancing: By distributing the load based on geography, they ensure faster and more efficient responses for global users. Important Information: The Allnodes/publicnode infrastructure is currently utilized by the TFL products for Terra Classic and several dApps/entities on the chain.
