We, Bware Labs (operating as Alchemy Validators), are formally requesting the removal of our invulnerable collator nodes from the Astar and Shiden networks. This request stems from an internal strategic shift in infrastructure priorities, where we are consolidating our validator efforts to align with new ecosystem and client focuses.
We are committed to a smooth and cooperative offboarding process and appreciate the community’s support as we responsibly wind down our collator operations on these networks.
We request the removal of the following invulnerable collator addresses from the whitelist:
• Astar Collator Address:
Wwfs24NNBLsdN9BHHj29spDsq5vkjk771dxPvMrXwraLywn
• Shiden Collator Address:
YHha3MqFs3Df75EJhsAoyUoN1DWUaRQVhsYCwsa6jqeL4wK
Please proceed with the appropriate governance steps to delist the above collator addresses.
Greetings, sorry to hear that you are leaving. Validators/nodes for decentralization are always important.
Thank you for your contributions so far.
I’m sorry to hear that, but I fully respect your decision.
Thank you very much for your long-standing contributions and support.

Hello @Mihai_BwareLabs
The referendum to remove your Astar collator from the invulnerable list has been approved by the community and successfully executed on-chain. Your collator has now been officially removed:
