The previous Maintenance Grant expired in August 2021. This grant is applying for maintenance retroactively since then, as well as future maintenance until the end of 2023.
Continuous maintenance is required because changes in the Polkadot SDK (Substrate) require regular upgrades of the GSRPC library.
Currently, the repository is used by more than 500 Github Go Modules such as: Snowbridge, Cosmos, Chainsafe, Chainlink and Bifrost among others.
These users require regular support as well as fixes to the library. Centrifuge has been providing this support at no cost since September 2021, since the previous grant expired.
