- Stakeworld runs services connected to its RPC nodes, like a database size overview.

- Funding for RPC services was not approved, so Stakeworld might stop or reduce these services.
- Stakeworld revived its snapshot service, which helps users sync their nodes faster.
- The snapshot service is useful because Beefy, a new feature, temporarily disables warp sync.
- Stakeworld is considering adding RocksDB support to the snapshot service for a few months.
- They hope to continue these services but need funding to do so.
- More details and a funding proposal can be found in their GitHub repository.

### Summary of Kusama Relay Chain XCM Issue

- **Issue**: Kusama relay chain adds `SetTopic` instruction to XCM programs, which XCM v2 doesn't support.
- **Problem**: Relay chain sends XCM messages in v2 format, causing errors when destinations use v3.
- **Impact**: Mismatched XCM versions lead to failed transactions between relay chain and parachains.
- **Solution**: Set `safeXcmVersion` to v3 on the relay chain.
- **Outcome**: Relay chain will send XCMs in v3 format by default.
- **Long-term**: Defaulting to v3 is a strategic move for future compatibility.
