Tell us about it in the documentation community group, and get featured. Click 👉 [here](https://t.me/neardocscg).\n\n\n\n  \n### STAKEWARS 🚀\n**Participating in Stakewars? Here are some quick news and notes you should be aware of.**\n\n- The community announced the temporary suspension of operations on StatelessNet due to challenges in meeting required standards. This decision aims to ensure a more stable experience for all participants.\n\n- The Stake Wars IV program concluded, with plans to potentially restart the program in the future. Participants were thanked for their participation in the event.\n\n- As long as you are qualified for the reward program details we shared and followed the step to onboard with StatelessNet, you should get a reward.\n\n- The team plans to finalize reward distribution and send rewards by the end of this week. Rewards for validators will be sent to the owner ID of the staking pool contract on mainnet, as provided during registration.\n\n- When we resume StatelessNet, the network may start from a fresh state, requiring major updates. Keeping nodes up during this period may not be beneficial.\n\n- We'll inform the community once we start accepting proposals for the traffic generation program again.\n\n- There's a possibility of restarting the program later. We'll keep you updated on any developments. Thank you all for participating in Stake Wars IV!\n\n\n\n\n  \n### CHAIN ABSTRACTION COMMUNITY 🤩\n\nThe chain abstraction community has been actively engaged in discussions and developments aimed at enhancing interoperability and standardization across different blockchain networks.They have been exploring techniques like Multi-Party Computation (MPC) to address security and key management concerns. Discussions around key rotation within MPC systems have been gaining traction, as highlighted in recent community exchanges. As part of ongoing efforts to streamline development practices, there have been discussions on standardized deployment data storage practices, with community members advocating for transparent and accessible repositories of contract deployment information. \n\nCheck out this 👉 [GitHub repository](https://github.com/near/mpc-recovery) containing code for MPC contracts, illustrating the implementation of payload-based key management for chain signature requests and responses.\n\nFor further details, you can refer to the following links:\n\n👉 [Chain Signatures Documentation](https://docs.near.org/concepts/abstraction/chain-signatures)\n👉 [NEAR Multichain Example](https://github.com/near-examples/near-multichain)\n👉 [Chain Signatures Use Cases](https://docs.near.org/concepts/abstraction/signatures/use-cases)\n👉 [FastAuth SDK Documentation](https://docs.near.org/tools/fastauth-sdk)\n👉 [NEAR NFT Minting on Farcaster](https://warpcast.com/brower1/0xab61fd1b)\n\n[Learn more about the Chain Abstraction Community](https://near.social/devhub.near/widget/app?page=community&handle=chain-abstraction)\n\n\n  \n### CALL FOR CONTRIBUTORS 📞\n\n- Ecosystem developers propose a devcontainer image for examples encompassing both Rust and Node tooling.
