[Medium Spender] Retroactive parasnaps.io maintenance

This is a follow-up proposal on what was intended to be covered by the Kusama Infrastructure Maintenance Bounty Program.

This proposal is to retroactively cover generated costs by Parasnaps for the last 8 months.

Discussion round

After a week of discussion round we decided to move forward with the proposal, please find the discussion here.

Context:

Parasnaps was built out of the necessity to have a high-throughput snapshot solution to be able to take fast actions. Existing snapshots solution took around ~40 minutes to Download and our solution allowed to restore a validator in a couple of minutes.

Central Topic:

Parasnaps was launched in February 2022, this proposal aims to cover the costs and work generated by Parasnaps from August 2022 until its decommissioning in March 2023

Future Proposals:

With warp sync in its current state, we believe Parasnaps is no longer required and has been decommissioned in March 2023.

Please find the full proposal here.
