Infrastructure Committee Proposal A

Infrastructure Committee

Purpose

The Secret infrastructure Committee conducts research, maintains network infrastructure such as testnet and api’s, and creates documentation & essential resources for node runners on the Secret Network, for the benefit of all network participants.

Decision Domains

∙ The scope of Secret Infrastructure is to ensure smooth operations of Secret Network public infrastructure (node runner stability, community api, quicksync, and potentially more). ∙ Secret Infrastructure brings scope modifications and requests for funding to other committee leads first for review, then to the forums, then directly to the chain.

Focus

Secret Infrastructure considers topics related to network performance and essential network infrastructure to be main areas of focus for which IT is the functional owner, including but not limited to:

∙ Documentation helpful to node runners on the Secret Network ∙ Community API ∙ Providing quicksync or snapshot downloads, scripts, or instructions ∙ Conduct research on different secretd binaries. Example: different db backend and tweaked parameters.

Members:

∙ Ian from https://secretnodes.com & Mohammed from https://securesecrets.org

Compensation:

∙ 1,500 SCRT monthly (15 hours per week) Ian ∙ 500 SCRT monthly (5 hours per week) Mohammed

Discretionary Budget:

∙ 5,000 SCRT

Total 3 Month funding = 11,000 SCRT

This is a one time allocation until/unless there is a need for more resources. This need will be determined by the technical (global) leads.

Deliverables

Secretwiki: Dedicated documentation site with all current node related guides refreshed and improved. Includes, instructions for setting up on several available VPS providers, setting up physical hardware, instructions on different architectures for node running. Community API: load balanced API to augment available options and add redundancy to the network. This would be load balanced stock tendermint RPC and LCD endpoints.
