Hello @wariomx ,

We have informed the plan and the steps to take into this forum:

> [@Paseo Testnet: Relay Downsizing & Sunset](https://forum.polkadot.network/t/paseo-testnet-relay-downsizing-sunset/17995/2):
>
> loudspeaker A note for parachain teams building on Paseo: The new relay chain will be ready to onboard all the ecosystem team parachains at the exact block they will stop, however if you’d like to carry your parachain’s history across to the new relay chain, there’s one time-sensitive action on your side: If your runtime still has the relay-block-number check active — and most runtimes do — you’ll need a runtime upgrade before the old relay chain stops producing blocks, to deactivate it. Wit…

Also i recommend you to follow Matrix Element channels where we point out to these communications:
