## Polkadot Updates

### 🔴 ⭕️ Relay Chain

> *total supply* ***\- 1.23B DOT* |** *staking* ***\- 52.1%* |** *parachains & crowdloans* ***\- 11%***

* A [new version of Polkadot](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot/releases/tag/v0.9.29) is out with an upgrade priority of MEDIUM.
* **Nomination pools** on Polkadot are [scheduled to go live](https://forum.polkadot.network/t/nomination-pools-integration/361) with the activation of runtime 9290, approximately mid-late November. v9280 runtime upgrade, up for vote now, includes nomination pools to the business logic, but a governance proposal is needed to configure them to go live.

---

### 🔴 🏛 Governance

* [**Referendum 73**](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/referendum/73), proposing to upgrade the **Statemint** runtime to v9270, has passed and executed.
* [**Motion 259**](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/motion/259)**,** to fund Milestone 2 of the **EasyA** **Polkadot Hackathon**, was passed.
* [**Motion 260**](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/motion/260)**,** to fund community involvement at **Token2049**, was approved.
* [**Motion 261**](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/motion/261)**,** to upgrade the Polkadot Runtime to **v9280,** is up for a vote.
* There is a post seeking feedback on [increasing the minimum nomination limit](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/post/1224) (note that this does not impact the minimum to receive staking rewards). This is to make nomination pools, which should be coming soon to Polkadot, more attractive and reduce individual nominations.
* There is a post seeking feedback on a potential Treasury Proposal for a [San Francisco Blockchain Week Polkadot Summit](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/post/1238).
* **ChainSafe** has [published a proposal](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/post/1260) for continuing development of the Gossamer Polkadot Host implementation (written in Go) using Treasury funds.

* Last Thursday night, 334 validators were [reported offline and slashed](https://polkadot.js.org/apps/?rpc=wss%3A%2F%2Fkusama.api.onfinality.io%2Fpublic-ws#/staking/slashes). *Note that slashes are not applied for 7 days (28 eras), during which time they can be canceled by governance. In the past, slashes associated with software issues have always been* [*canceled on Kusama*](https://wiki.polkadot.network/docs/learn-staking#slashing)*.*
* The new Polkadot version has many runtime changes focused on optimizing OpenGov on Kusama. For details, see the “Runtime” section of the Release Notes [here](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot/releases/tag/v0.9.34).

### 🦅 🏛 Governance

* The [first OpenGov Referendum](https://kusama.polkassembly.io/referenda/8) whitelisted by the Polkadot Fellowship has passed and executed, allowing block production on the **Kintsugi** parachain to restart.
* [**Referendum 6**](https://kusama.polkassembly.io/referenda/6), canceling two invalid Referenda (1 and 2), has passed. That said, due to an issue with the UI, it will only execute in 15 million blocks in the future.
* [**Referendum 16**](https://kusama.polkassembly.io/referenda/16), which should fix the last slashing event on Kusama, will enact at block 15,722,953 today. Specifically, this Referendum will cancel all slashes and restart elections (which involves several steps; see link above for details). However, this will NOT reverse any chilling. A PR is ready for this, but it will require a runtime upgrade to enact.
* [**Referendum 17**](https://kusama.subsquare.io/referenda/referendum/17), which batches all upgrades for Kusama's system parachains: Statemine and Encointer, is currently passing.
* [**Referendum 251**](https://kusama.polkassembly.io/referendum/251), proposing to swap parachain slots for Zeitgeist, has passed.
* There are [13 active OpenGov Referenda](https://polkadot.js.org/apps/?rpc=wss%3A%2F%2Fkusama.api.onfinality.io%2Fpublic-ws#/referenda) on which you can vote. *To understand OpenGov (also called Gov v2 or Gov2), you can read the* [*Polkadot Wiki article*](https://wiki.polkadot.network/docs/learn-gov2)*.*

### 🔴 ⭕️ Relay Chain

 *total supply* ***\- \~1.21b DOT* |** *staking* ***\- 45%* |** *parachains & crowdloans* ***\- 10%***

* **Pendulum** and **Bittsensor** [won](https://parachains.info/auctions/polkadot-33-39#timeline%5Fpolkadot-33-39) the most recent parachain lease auctions.

---

### 🔴 🏛 Governance

* [**Referendum 91**](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/referendum/91), increasing the maximum number of nomination pools from 64 to 128, was passed and executed.
* [**Referendum 93**](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/referendum/93), proposing a new registrar but including no other contextual information, failed.
* [**Referendum 94**](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/referendum/94), proposing to seed the **Polkadot Alliance**, is currently passing with 97% in favor.
* [**Referendum 96**](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/referendum/96), proposing to upgrade the Polkadot runtime to v9340, is currently passing with 99% in favor.  
Note that assuming Referendum 96 passes, there will be an upgrade on Saturday (14 Jan) to a new runtime. Any multisig transactions that start before the upgrade, but end afterward, will not succeed - complete your multisigs before the upgrade, or wait until the upgrade.
* [**Referendum 97**](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/referendum/97), proposing to unbrick the **Bitgreen** parachain, is currently passing with 98% in favor.
* [**Referendum 98**](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/referendum/98), proposing to update the genesis Wasm blob for **Bittensor** to change the para ID, is passing with 99% in favor and 26 days left to vote.
* [**Motion 321**](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/motion/321)**,** to fund the **Unit Masters** masters program, is up for vote.
* [**Motion 322**](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/motion/322), to fund the continued development **Subsquare**, is up for vote:
* There are also [three proposals](https://polkadot.js.org/apps/?rpc=wss%3A%2F%2Frpc.polkadot.io#/democracy) that can be endorsed in order to be the next Referendum up for vote.

> ## Kusama Updates **ₑₓₚₑcₜ cₕₐₒₛ**

### 🦅 ⭕️ Relay Chain

 *total supply* ***\- \~13.13m KSM* |** *staking* ***\- 46.7%* |** *parachains & crowdloans* ***\- 2%***

* **Robonomics** and **Bittensor** have [won](https://parachains.info/auctions/kusama-59-64) the last couple parachain lease auctions.

---

### 🦅 🏛 Governance

* [**Referendum 49**](https://kusama.subsquare.io/referenda/referendum/49), aiming to enable **fast-unstake** on Kusama: this feature is there to allow those that have staked by mistake, or, for whatever reason, are no longer earning rewards, to unstake faster.
* [**Referendum 50**](https://kusama.subsquare.io/referenda/referendum/50), to upgrade Statemine to runtime v9360, was approved.
* Note that the two preceding Referenda are on the Whitelisted Caller track and thus are also required to be [whitelisted by the Fellowship](https://guide.kusama.network/docs/learn-gov2/#polkadot-fellowship).
* [**Referendum 52**](https://kusama.polkassembly.io/referenda/52), by **Subscan** to add a new registrar to the system. Because this was a test by the team to develop new features, there is no contextual information on the proposal.
* [**Referendum 53**](https://kusama.subsquare.io/referenda/referendum/53), aiming to add a Bridge Hub (BH) parachain to Kusama. The BH will be the gateway between Kusama and other networks, like Polkadot and Ethereum. For now, the BH only contains some basic logic, and none of the bridge-specific pallets.
* [**Referendum 56**](https://kusama.polkassembly.io/referenda/56), aiming to enable pre-checking for runtime upgrade on parachains. With pre-checking enabled, a parachain is only allowed to upgrade their runtime after validators have tried compiling it and they agree it is good, as opposed to just accepting it blindly and then fail when the parachain tries to produce blocks with the new runtime.
* There are [**10 Referenda**](https://polkadot.js.org/apps/?rpc=wss%3A%2F%2Fkusama-rpc.polkadot.io#/referenda) up for vote in the OpenGov system. You can review them and vote here:
* [1 open Referenda](https://kusama.subsquare.io/referenda/referendum/55) (to tip for its guide on how to set up an RPC node) in the OpenGov **Small Tipper** track.
* [1 open Referenda](https://kusama.subsquare.io/referenda/referendum/45) (to keep Evrloot running for the players after recent gas calculation changes) in the **Small Spender** track of the OpenGov system.
* [2 open Referenda](https://kusama.subsquare.io/referenda/track/33) in the OpenGov **Medium Spender** track.
* [1 open Referenda](https://kusama.subsquare.io/referenda/track/0) (to change genesis WASM for Bittensor) in the OpenGov **Root** track.
* [2 open Referenda](https://kusama.subsquare.io/referenda/track/1) in the OpenGov **Whitelisted Caller** track.
* [1 Referenda](https://kusama.subsquare.io/referenda/referendum/51) (to enact Referendum 35) in the OpenGov **Treasurer** track.
* [1 Referenda](https://kusama.subsquare.io/referenda/track/34) (to fund the Virto team) in the OpenGov **Big Spender** track.

> ## Polkadot Updates

### 🔴 ⭕️ Relay Chain

 *total supply* ***\-* |** *staking* ***\- %* |** *parachains & crowdloans* ***\- %***

* **Polkadot** [**v0.9.37**](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot/releases/tag/v0.9.37) has been released with MEDIUM upgrade priority.
* With the passing and enactment of [**Referendum 96**](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/referendum/96), the Polkadot runtime has been upgraded to v9340\.  
   * Among other things, this sets the [Collectives parachain](https://polkadot.js.org/apps/?rpc=wss%3A%2F%2Fpolkadot-collectives-rpc.polkadot.io#/alliance) as a Trusted Teleporter, and entities can join the Polkadot Alliance as Allies (although note that there is a slashable 1000 DOT deposit, and this is intended for projects/companies, not individuals).  
   * Also, the maximum number of nominators receiving rewards per validator increased from 256 to 512\. This should reduce missing rewards due to oversubscription.
* **XCM version 3** has been [merged into the master branch](https://twitter.com/gavofyork/status/1615363662801428486) of the Polkadot repo.
* **Parathread 2101 (Subsocial)** has [won](https://parachains.info/auctions/polkadot) the most recent parachain lease auction.

### 🔴 🏛 Governance

* [**Referendum 94**](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/referendum/94), seeding the **Polkadot Alliance**, has passed, inducting the initial members–Moonbeam, Interlay, Subscan, Kilt, Acala, Phala, and Astar.
* [**Referendum 97**](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/referendum/97), proposing to unbrick the **Bitgreen**, has passed.
* [**Referendum 98**](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/referendum/98), proposing to update the parathread ID in the genesis state WASM of **Bittensor**, is passing with 99% in favor.
* [**Referendum 99**](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/referendum/99), proposing to upgrade the Statemint and Collectives system parachain code to runtime v9360, is passing unanimously.
* [**Motion 323**](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/motion/323), to fund milestones 2 and 3 of **Yieldbay**’sdevelopment of a listing platform for all DotSama liquidity pools and yield farms, is under consideration.
* [**Motion 324**](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/motion/324)**,** to enable **pre-checking for runtime upgrade** on parachains, is under consideration.
* [**Motion 325**](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/motion/325), to fund the **Polkadot Hackathon Global Series** 2023, is under consideration.
* [**Motion 326**](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/motion/326), to fund an experimental analysis on the use of candle auctions on Polkadot Network, is under consideration.
* **Wei Tang** has posted a potential Treasury Proposal for the Polkadot Treasury to provide [funding to the Matrix.org Foundation](https://forum.corepaper.org/post/!AZvsRzlxPPMqKlMwMB:pacna.org).

### 🦅 🏛 Governance

* [**Referendum 72**](https://kusama.polkassembly.io/referenda/72) on the Root track is proposing to schedule 57 more auctions throughout 2023\. Note that this was originally filed as Referendum 71, but it was noted that due to an issue with Scheduler track, it would not execute.
* **Fast-unstake** is [now available](https://github.com/paritytech/substrate/pull/12129) on Kusama. This allows instant unstaking if you have not participated in staking in the last 28 eras.
* [**Referendum 56**](https://kusama.polkassembly.io/referenda/56), enabling pre-checking of parachain runtimes by validators, has been confirmed.
* [**Referendum 67**](https://kusama.polkassembly.io/referenda/67), proposing to fund OpenGov referendum audits, is now being decided and currently 98.5% are in favor.
* There are now [16 Referenda](https://polkadot.js.org/apps/?rpc=wss%3A%2F%2Fkusama.api.onfinality.io%2Fpublic-ws#/referenda) available to vote on via the new OpenGov mechanism.

### 🔴 ⭕️ Relay Chain

 *total supply* ***\- \~1.28b DOT* |** *staking* ***\- 10%* |** *parachains & crowdloans* ***\- 46.5%***

* **Anonymous Parathread 2104** [won](https://parachains.info/auctions/polkadot) the 39th parachain lease auction.

---

### 🔴 🏛 Governance

* [**Referendum 98**](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/referendum/98), proposing to update the parathread ID in the genesis state WASM of **Bittensor**, passed.
* [**Referendum 101**](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/referendum/101), to approve the WASM smart contracts bounty (Bounty #19), is currently passing unanimously with more than 14 days to go.
* [**Referendum 102**](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/referendum/102), to upgrade the Polkadot runtime to v9360, was passed.
* [**Referendum 103**](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/referendum/103), to unbrick the **Zeitgeist** parachain, is passing. This was originally approved by the Council as [**Motion 343**](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/motion/343).
* [**Motion 336**](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/motion/336), to fund Blockchain Training Alliance’s **Substrate Training Course**, was passed and executed.

This is because, if it passed, the Motion would generate a wrong call that does not trigger the treasury reward distribution. It should be fixed in the next upgrade.
* [**Motion 340**](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/motion/340), by TeachMeDeFi to fund the creation of a **German Educational Platform** for Polkadot, was approved.
* [**Motion 341**](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/motion/341), to fund the development of **rmrk-substrate-pallets**, is under consideration.

* [**Referendum 103**](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/referendum/103), a public proposal to unbrick the Zeitgeist parachain, is failing with 71% in favor. Note that the Zeitgeist team has asked people to vote against this Referendum and support [**Referendum 104**](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/referendum/104) instead: aiming to enact the same call in a faster way
* [**Referendum 105**](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/referendum/105), proposing to update system parachains to runtime v9370, is passing almost unanimously with less than 12 days left to vote.

Part of the expansion efforts include bringing decentralisation analytics for staking pools to Polkadot (already rolled out on Kusama), multi-wallet integration, and assisting ecosystem teams with the integration of decentralisation analytics. Please note that the analytic tool is designed to measure the effective decentralisation of the Polkadot validation process.
