After Shell successfully processed the runtime upgrade to Statemint and handed over block production to the Statemint collators, they were not able to produce blocks due to a mismatch in key types. Specifically, Aura uses sr25519 keys to sign blocks, but the keys in the genesis chain spec were generated using ed25519.

A new runtime was created as a temporary fix. This runtime enables ed25519 in Aura for Statemint. This will be enacted on the Relay Chain so that validators will be able to validate the collator signatures. After the chain is producing blocks again, a follow up runtime upgrade will migrate Aura back to using sr25519 keys.

- **Problem Statement:** Mismatch in key types between Aura and Statemint collators causing block production failure.
- **Significance:** Inability to produce blocks impacts network functionality and validation.
- **Proposed Solution:** Implement a temporary runtime fix enabling ed25519 in Aura for Statemint collators.
- **Expected Outcomes:** Restoration of block production, validation of collator signatures, and subsequent migration back to sr25519 keys.
