**Subsquid Labs Q4 2024 Funding Request**

**Summary:**
- **Goal:** Request $164,840.20 for maintaining public SQD Archives for Polkadot and parachains in Q4 2024.
- **Who:** Subsquid Lab Official (based in Zug, Switzerland).
- **Why:** Public archives are essential free infrastructure for developers, wallets, and parachains.
- **Changes:** Reduced costs by using community-aligned engineering rates ($27/hour instead of $100/hour).

**Key Points:**
- Public archives help developers access blockchain data without running their own servers.
- Used by projects like Talisman, Polkassembly, and RMRK.
- In Q4 2024, archives grew to 11.68 TiB of data and served over 2.3 million requests.
- Funding covers only public services, not commercial products.
- Engineering costs were lowered to meet community expectations.

**Cost Breakdown:**
- Most costs are for cloud services (like Google Cloud and OVHCloud).
- Engineering and maintenance costs were reduced to $14,009.76.
- Total request is $164,840.20, down $143,863.80 from the previous proposal.

**Conclusion:**
- Work is already done; seeking retroactive funding.
- Supports free, reliable data access for the Polkadot ecosystem.

- Polkadot wants to change a rule for new communication channels between blockchains.
- Currently, up to 1,000 messages can wait in line on the main relay chain.
- The proposal is to lower this number to 25 messages for new channels.
- This helps keep things running smoothly and prevents big delays.
- If a receiving blockchain is stuck, fewer waiting messages means less stress when it starts again.
- Old channels will keep the old limit of 1,000 messages.
