I believe this is a innovative solution to a very manageable problem.

It does provide a solution to an issue that IMO should have been technically address far earlier. The network needs stable RPC endpoints and managed traffic, this is quite apparent when testing on Apothem, most end up running their own Endpoint to address this, same with main net.

I would say that if this proposal isn't approved then a few companies could manage different amounts of RPC to ensure decentralisation. I would have like to see RPC management been controlled by community same way as each MN holders incentivised to provide the endpoint, and load balancer controlled by either the foundation or again incentivised in a 'node based' or decentralised service.

Looking to the future I see this as a critical improvement as a none working RPC to an end user is same effect as network downtime, whilst uptime as a whole is a strength of the XDC network.

All in all great to see those coming forward with positive and much needed solutions.
