Kusama News
Although Zero was in the lead for ~ 93% of the blocks in the last parachain lease auction, nobody won the lease because the candle blew out in the part of the Ending Period before they bid. https://parachains.info/auctions/kusama-104-110
This is expected behavior, to encourage bidders to put their best bid up immediately. For details on how candle auctions work, see https://wiki.polkadot.network/docs/learn-auction#mechanics-of-a-candle-auction
With three days left in the current parachain lease auction, Zero has been in the lead the majority of the Ending Period. https://parachains.info/auctions/kusama
Referendum 297, proposing to upgrade Kusama to runtime v1_000_000, has been confirmed. https://kusama.polkassembly.io/referenda/297
The enactment of Ref 297 is scheduled for block 20_435_000 (~ 6 Nov 2023). https://kusama.polkassembly.io/referenda/297
