Requested Amount: 330$/month (±33000 tokens at the average price for the last 7 days 0,06$/astr according to Coingecko) to cover the server cost and its support.

Short Description:

The snapshot service is intended for collator nodes, namely, it helps to bring the node back online in a very short time, because pruning 1000 is set.

At @bLd759 request, starting from June 1, 2023, the snapshots were switched to archive.

There is also a link to our GitHub where you can find all the information related to the Astar & Shiden Snapshot service and on our Website

Serving as the ultimate hub for node operators and blockchain enthusiasts, All4Nodes.io offers a comprehensive suite of resources to streamline your blockchain journey. From snapshots and endpoints to explorers and comprehensive guides, All4Nodes.io equips you with everything you need to navigate the blockchain landscape easily.

Background

Hi everyone,

STAKECRAFT supported Astar since it was called Plasm Network and was chosen as one of Astar’s first collators at the beginning of 2022. We are confident in the future of Astar and Shiden.

Proposal

We want to request $1980 for Q1 & Q2 2025 (330$/month) in ASTR from the Astar treasury as a reward for providing our Snapshot service. We ask this amount to cover expenses on the server and its support.

Statistics of usage

Our snapshot downloading statistics for Astar and Shiden showed that the snapshots were used for the period from June 1st to December 31st:

  • approx. 30 times per month for Astar;
  • approx. 14 times per month for Shiden.

Responsibilities

We are committed to keeping the service running and updating it regularly.

  1. The address of the fund recipient: Wj14Wp8CD8D8K58hpxbuFSTmXyFeBvjfAoJqbHjrHRsm1pN
  2. There is no cancellation period from our side for running the snapshot service
  3. Snapshots are updated on a daily basis
  4. The options to contact the manager of the funds:

I would be like to have the feedback from Astar Core Team or bLd but I don’t think there is any problem.
For the price converter, I think it would be better to use subscan: Subscan | Aggregate Substrate ecological network high-precision Web3 explorer

We always used the Coingecko as it was advised by Martin. But thanks for your suggestion.

The snapshot service is fundamental in my opinion. I will support this proposal :handshake: :star2:

My apologies, last time I created a proposal here - https://astargov.com

Here is a new one - https://astargov.com/astar/post/0x39ac1cd9cf569dfe7b3374dc787041b720d2b69ad93cabd2bc19fa408c6ce01c

@StakeCraft the outcome of that voting will not be valid, for treasury proposals only the onchain governance can be used not the offchain.

Read more here about our onchain governance: https://astar.network/blog/astar-onchain-governance-153

Please stop on astargov and move to Subsquare.

Have a good weekend

Hi @Maarten
Please check Proposal grant ASTR from Astar Treasury to StakeCraft for providing Snapshot service for Astar and Shiden for Q1 & Q2 2025

Hello @StakeCraft

In the forum discussion or the proposal description, you request 33,000 ASTR whereas the proposal is for 34,000 ASTR from the onchain treasury. What is the reason for this difference?

13

Hi @Gaius_sama
When creating the proposal, it was stated that 1000 ASTR would go to the treasury. Therefore, since we are requesting 33,000 ASTR, I included this additional 1000 tokens.

If I am mistaken, please let me know how to make corrections, and I will do so promptly.

Hi @StakeCraft

Your treasury proposal has been approved by the Main Council.

Tokens will be transferred during the next payment cycle. (~5 days).
