Stakeworld maintains a few services which are connected to it's rpc services. For example we keep a [database size overview](https://stakeworld.io/docs/dbsize) which gets its size information from the archive rpc nodes and is refered to in the [polkadot wiki.](https://wiki.polkadot.network/docs/maintain-guides-how-to-validate-polkadot) 

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](https://stakeworld.io/docs/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 <s>considering</s> including rocksdb again. This will probably be only for a few months untill warp sync gets re-enabled with beefy. 

See [here](https://github.com/stakeworld/stakeworld-treasury/blob/master/2023-Q4.kusama.md) for the proposal.

Problem Statement:
- Stakeworld's rpc services, including the database size overview, may need to be scaled down or stopped due to lack of funding.

Significance:
- The database size overview service is referenced in the Polkadot wiki and provides important information to users.
- The snapshot service is being used more frequently and is a temporary solution until warp sync is re-enabled.

Proposed Solution:
- Stakeworld is requesting funding to continue the database size overview service and maintain the snapshot service.

Expected Outcomes:
- Continued availability of the database size overview service and updated snapshots for users.
