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