Referendum 1139 on the Wish-for-change track, proposing to reduce inflation to 8% and reducing, has passed and executed. https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/referenda/1139

Referendum 1200, proposing to increase the number of validators in the active set from 400 to 500, is currently passing with 99.9% in favor. https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/referenda/1200

Referendum 1202, proposing to upgrade the Polkadot runtime to 1.3.3., is passing almost unanimously. https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/referenda/1202

Implications of this new runtime would include allowing inflation to be adjustable by governance, allow signed origin to send arbitrary XCM messages from system parachains, and allow Polkadot, Kusama, and Ethereum assets across the Polkadot-Kusama bridge. https://github.com/polkadot-fellows/runtimes/releases/tag/v1.3.3

Kusama News

Coretime sales also continue on Kusama, with 67 cores sold this round. https://app.regionx.tech/?network=kusama
