No problem, and thank you for the heads up.

Thank you. And thank you to Yemel to have used his leftover of committee role on Aragon to start the transactions after I mentioned Canessa enacted the proposal without it being completed.

[quote="dao, post:7, topic:25124"] 0xd6eff8f07caf3443a1178407d3de4129149d6ef6 [/quote] Can you please provide the transaction hash that enacted that @Canessa please? Because as far as I can tell, this has NOT been enacted.

Not really. The network currently has 11 nodes and will move to 9 — still well a high number of nodes for resilience. Catalyst nodes are distributed, so if one is unavailable others on the network respond automatically. It's also worth noting that Catalyst nodes are no longer the primary content delivery layer. Most content consumed by Decentraland clients is served and optimized through a separate caching infrastructure, so the nodes themselves see relatively low direct traffic. Removing two nodes will not impact the user experience or stability.

hello @paralax ^.^ Will this effect Decentralands stability in any way?

Note: form to shutdown a node has a bug and a live node must be enter in the form — the node to be removed is **peer.decentral.io** which correspond to the address `0xa7C825BB8c2C4d18288af8efe38c8Bf75A1AAB51` It has been confirmed in the Catalyst owners chat that Decentral Games is no longer operational and that the node has been shut down. To maintain decentralization and keep the Foundation below 50% ownership, it is suggested the Foundation retires **peer-wc1**, as the US region already has good node coverage. This would result in 4 Foundation nodes and 5 community-owned nodes.
