### Polkadot Runtime Upgrade v9150

- **Proposal**: Upgrading Polkadot Runtime to v9150.
- **Details**: Includes runtime cleanup and fixes, such as addressing locked deposits in council voters and Nicks pallet.
- **Hash**: `0x960d3ad3f42eb41ab2131e1561dd8cc20f87585e37d2d1b02525578204f11d4b`
- **Vote Recommendation**: Initially, vote for the upgrade.
- **Update**: Advised to vote `Nay` on Referendum 49 due to missing companion changes, causing errors in Kusama nodes.
- **Next Steps**: A new runtime upgrade proposal will likely be made for Kusama to revert the issue.
- **Mainnet**: Upgrade will be delayed until the issue is resolved to avoid risks on the mainnet.

Runtime v9150 on Polkadot Network

### Summary of Polkadot Treasury Proposal with MIDL.dev

- **Service**: MIDL.dev provides daily blockchain database snapshots for Polkadot, helping node operators and validators quickly restore their infrastructure.
- **Features**: Includes a website (polkashots.io) with download links and metadata, and a redundant setup for continuity and disaster recovery.
- **Context**: Snapshots are crucial for node operators to recover from storage loss. MIDL.dev's open-source code allows others to replicate the setup.
- **Alternatives**: Warp sync in Polkadot 0.9.9 is an option but takes several hours. A single snapshot service poses a centralization risk.
- **Costs**: Monthly labor cost is 1200 EUR for 2 engineers. Cloud hosting costs are passed along with a 50% markup, primarily for network egress.
- **Usage**: Approximately 10 downloads per day of Polkadot and Kusama snapshots, with costs increasing due to parachains.
- **Budget**: The proposal includes detailed operational expenses and usage statistics.
- **Note**: A similar proposal was accepted by the Kusama council.

Polkashots.io maintenance

- Shell upgraded Statemint's runtime, but collators couldn't produce blocks due to key type mismatch.
- Aura uses sr25519 keys for signing, but Statemint's keys were ed25519.
- A temporary runtime was created to allow ed25519 keys in Aura.
- This fix will let validators verify collator signatures on the Relay Chain.
- Once blocks are produced, Aura will be upgraded back to sr25519 keys.
- Call hash for the fix: `0x0e21b5233c7591ee89eca0cae71cf9a9a4c45fe2393075ab33361a673f5d322d`

Fix Statemint - Aura Key Scheme

- This update follows [Referendum 46](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/referendum/46), which failed due to no default XCM version.
- Polkadot now requires a minimum safe XCM version to prevent vulnerabilities.
- This is Polkadot's first cross-chain interaction, so the version was not set initially.
- The new batch includes the same two calls as Referendum 46.
- An additional call sets Polkadot's default XCM version to 2.
- Images show the details of the calls.

Upgrade Shell to Statemint (with XCM Fix)

- Messari is proposing Polkadot to join the Messari Hub.

- Polkadot is requesting $125k in DOT, with a 10% premium for market volatility.
- The funds will be used for an initial ecosystem report and four quarterly reports.
- More details are available in the full proposal.

### Summary of Post Content

1. **Two Scheduled Transactions**: Two transactions are scheduled to ensure `set_storage` happens before authorizing an upgrade.
2. **Set Storage**: This transaction sets storage keys in Shell for Statemint's "genesis". It includes setting Aura collators and `SafeXcmVersion` to `2`.
3. **Authorize Upgrade**: This transaction authorizes the upgrade of Shell to a new runtime. The upgrade will happen 600 blocks (about 1 hour) after authorization.
4. **Shell Constructions**: Both transactions need to be constructed on Shell and dispatched via XCM from the Relay Chain.
5. **Polkadot Proposal**: The proposal schedules these messages to dispatch from Polkadot to Shell, ensuring they are processed separately.
6. **Call Data**: Specific call data is provided for both the `set_storage` and authorize upgrade transactions.
7. **Images**: The post includes images illustrating the process and call data.
8. **Release Notes**: Detailed instructions and assets are available in the [release notes](https://github.com/paritytech/cumulus/releases/tag/statemint-v6.0.1).
