Asset Hub as a DOT reserve Multiple parachains in the ecosystem are currently facing a dilemma: How to handle DOT reserves on chains other than PolkadotRelay? Nowadays in particular, handling Polkadot AssetHub as a reserve for DOT - which is seeing many new usecases. The main problem with “ChainX” allowing multiple chains as a reserve for DOT (or any asset for that matter) is that “ChainX” needs to balance its SAs (sovereign accounts) on the reserve chains so that when their users “claim” a reserve asset (i.e. transfer DOT to Relay or AH) their SA there has liquidity to handle it. Generalizing ..read more

Overview The Kusama Relay Chain upgrade to v1.2.0 (1002000) included a migration to transition to coretime containing four XCM programs which are sent from the relay chain to the Coretime Chain. Each XCM contained Transact instructions to populate the state of the Coretime Chain. The calls in one of the messages failed to execute as the specified maximum weight was less than what was needed to run the extrinsic. Basically it means that the message announced that it would use less weight than what it would actually use and this made the XCM message fail. This is a security measure to ensure tha ..read more

Description Immediately after runtime 1.2 got enacted on polkadot all parachain almost halted, with blocks being included rarely into the relay chain. This happened because parachain candidates weren’t backed by the statement-distribution-v2 subsystem. Statement-distribution-v2 is a new subsystem written for async backing that is responsible with distributing backed statements between nodes, so that all nodes become aware a parachain candidate can be included on the relay chain, more details about it here. The subsystem got enabled the moment the runtime ParachainHost API got bumped to a versi ..read more

gm all. I have attempted to verify on-chain my polkassembly account multiple times and it constantly says ‘verification in process’. At some point I got a window that said ‘on-chain identity verification successful’ but when I left the success screen polkassembly still said ‘identity has not been set yet’. So I go to set it, it says I need to ‘request judgement’ but when I go to request judgement it then says I haven’t started to the process. I then tried to revoke the ID entirely and start over a few times, but every time I do this it says “this account has already set social verification” an ..read more

Re-posted from: Proposal: Re-name Polkadot to JAM | Polkassembly Below is a proposal for renaming Polkadot to JAM to coincide with the major protocol upgrade: Throughout history, re-naming of companies signified a shift in direction, which what JAM represents. A few examples: Google to Alphabet: In 2015, Google reorganized its various businesses under a new holding company called Alphabet. This move allowed Google to separate its core internet business from its more experimental ventures, such as self-driving cars and biotech research. The rename helped clarify the company’s structure and sign ..read more

Hello people! Antonio from KILT here. Over the years, we at KILT have noticed that no identity solution fits all use cases. We found out that some people like to be publicly recognised for their achievements and build online trust and reputation. Some people prefer to stay as private as possible, but still rely on technology and digital solutions to carry out their everyday tasks. Some use cases only require people to show proof of age and nothing more. Some other cases require them to prove to be humans. Some use cases do not involve people but objects, digital systems, and nowadays, a secure ..read more
