Dear Polkadot Community,

**[Polkashots.io](https://polkashots.io)** was the first snapshot service for validators and node operators available since Early 2021. During its time, it provided a valuable service to validators and Parity engineers alike, that ensured reliability of our network.

There is a new mechanism, [Warp Sync](https://spec.polkadot.network/chap-sync#sect-sync-warp), that makes this service redundant, therefore we stopped making new snapshots in April 2023. We are seeking the reimbursment of Google Cloud expenses for the Jan-Apr period as well as the deposit for the [Gov1 Proposal](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/treasury/274) replaced by this. The total is **3,936.69 DOT**.

All details can be found in the proposal page:

Thank you very much for your consideration

beneficiary.
