Thanks for the comprehensive report and all the hard work that went into it! I’ve got a few questions to clarify some technical details:

Hive - Node Questions:

1. Could you please provide more details on how you're running the Hive nodes? Specifically, what Docker image are you using? Are these full nodes? If possible, could you share the docker-compose file or some documentation to help us better understand the setup?
2. Are there any special configurations needed to run the validator network on Hive nodes, or can we use any public Hive node for this purpose?

Proxy & Caching:
From what I understand, SPL runs its own Hive nodes that are cached through Cloudflare, which is then used by the game. Will this setup continue to function the same way when the validator network goes live? Additionally, will the costs associated with caching and implementing Cloudflare and R2 Storage continue to be covered by SPL? If so, is this a significant cost factor we should consider?

sl-validator Network:
Could you also clarify the purpose of the AWS account? Will the SPS-chain be able to run independently from AWS and Terraform, or are these dependencies essential?

Looking forward to your insights!
