Hello HydraDX Team & Community,

**cardinate here, as already mentioned in the discord channel, below is our request as an API node service provider for the Basilisk & HydraDX network.**

We have been in IT since 2001, starting in the Web 1.0 world and compiling Linux systems ourself (Kernel 2.2), quickly realizing that IT and network infrastructure is our strength.
Already in 2004 we have been operating our own linux routers, switches and LAMP servers in data centers.

Since 2015 we operate our own autonomous system (AS) and geo-redundant data center infrastructure in the center of Europe and can provide fast reliable services that are completely independent.
We also have our own IPv4- and IPv6-address ranges, which we announce via internet protocol BGP to ensure geo-redundant connectivity of the systems we operate.

So we really support the decentralized approach of the HydraDX network, because our operations, IP connectivity and server systems are definitely not depending on one of the major centralized cloud providers (AWS, GCP, Azure, DigitalOcean, OVHcloud, Hetzner, etc.).

**We would like to support the HydraDX project in its development and growth.
For this reason we will make our API services available free of charge for the first 4 months.**

**We will then provide an evaluation of the API usage and make a further proposal at which fair market costs we can provide the service in future.**

**The HydraDX team and community can then decide whether they want to use our API services.**

Best Regards
cardinate
