Stakeworld maintains a few services which are connected to it's rpc services. For example we keep a database size overview which gets its size information from the archive rpc nodes and is refered to in the polkadot wiki.
The last treasury requests for rpc services did not get through so we plan to scale down/stop these services, which would also mean we have to stop with the database size overview service. We would like to continue this service but will need some funding for this.
Also we revived our snapshot service. The service was still online but was not being updated anymore.
Since it was getting used more and more again in light of the recent beefy introduction which disables warp sync and the update notes referal to our snapshot service as a solution (for the time being) we refreshed our snapshots to a more current state and after discussions on element are also considering including rocksdb again. This will probably be only for a few months untill warp sync gets re-enabled with beefy.
See here for the proposal.
