+title: Adapt RemoteExternalities and its related types to be used with generic hash parameters
+
+doc:
+  - audience: Node Dev
+    description: |
+      Modify `RemoteExternalities`, `Mode`, `OnlineConfig` and`Snapshot` to rely now on generic parameter, instead of `BlockT`.
+      Adjust in consequence their implementation to be compatible with types `Hash`, or if possible any generic.
+      Adapt Builder struct and implementation for these bounds.
