Hello Treasury Team: 

1KVnode is a team in North America focusing on the validators ecosystem recently. We find that providing a decentralized infrastructure for the community is important and key to their recovery in a degraded situation. Having multiple mirror copies of snapshots will assist the community to increase their ability to handle the recovery time. 

We are expecting to provide snapshot services in Polkadot, Kusama, and Westend. Nevertheless, we feel that Westend, while being a test-net, it plays a role in many alpha developments of various applications.

We want to help the community by providing additional instructions for new validators in several languages (English, French, Chinese, Spanish). They will be posted on various social medias. In the meanwhile, we are also looking to decentralize the snapshots service to more service providers out there than the existing ones that we know. 

We welcome feedback from the community and the official team,
