Polkadot News

HydraDX is now in the lead in the current parachain lease auction, with 16 hours to go before the Ending Period begins. https://parachains.info/auctions

Referendum 268, proposing to upgrade the Polkadot runtime to v1’000’001, is currently passing unanimously. Assuming no major changes in support or approval, it will start confirming in another day. https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/referenda/268

This runtime introduces BEEFY; validators should no longer run with “—no-beefy” flag, and session keys should be rotated and set on-chain. https://wiki.polkadot.network/docs/learn-consensus#bridging-beefy

Presently, BEEFY and warp sync are not compatible. If necessary, validators should restore from a snapshot. https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/1118
