### Bridge Hub Parachain Proposal

- **Purpose**: To add a Bridge Hub (BH) parachain to Polkadot, acting as a gateway between Polkadot and other networks like Kusama and Ethereum.
- **Technical Details**: Found in the [Bridge Hub Genesis release](https://github.com/paritytech/cumulus/releases/tag/parachains-bridge-hub-polkadot-v9382).
- **Current State**: Contains basic logic but lacks bridge-specific pallets, which will be added in future upgrades.
- **Goal**: To gain approval from Polkadot stakeholders and launch a "shell" parachain, allowing bridge teams to focus on their bridge logic.
- **Function**: Primarily a message routing system within Polkadot and between other networks.
- **Example**: Parachains can route messages to the BH, which then handles them and sends them to the correct parachain.
- **Future Benefits**: Once operational, a Polkadot<>Kusama bridge will enhance interaction between the networks, enabling shared governance and alliances.

### Watr Parachain Reset Proposal

1. **Proposal**: The Watr team requested a reset of the blockchain to its seedling state.
2. **Context**: The current parachain model doesn't allow a reset without tokens, governance accounts, or relay chain governance. Tokens in the genesis block are locked, preventing a reset.
3. **Impact**: The network is locked and unusable without relay chain governance intervention. No user transactions or funds are affected since the Parachain hasn't gone live.
4. **Remedy**: After exploring other solutions and consulting with Parity experts, the team proposed a technical rollback to seedling state for commercial deployment.
5. **Proof of Authenticity**: The proposal was signed by the Watr Parachain registrar and submitted to Polkadot governance.
6. **Preimage**: The preimage includes a hash and an extrinsic to update the Parachain's code and head.
7. **Voting**: The proposal requires council and community votes to proceed.
