- A Polkadot user accidentally sent 254.1591507553 DOT to the wrong address.
- The DOT were initially sent to a null address but were later observed to be transferred to another address.
- The user requested community help to return the mistakenly sent DOT.

- The user created a new proposal on the Acala network to address the issue.
- The original proposal was canceled due to incorrect token amount details.

Cancellation: Return back DOT which were mistakenly sent to the 0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 address - public proposal #25

- This channel will help both networks share stablecoins, which are a type of money.
- Composable’s special ID number is 2019, which is used for opening this channel.
- The proposal includes sending 20 DOT (a type of currency) from the Treasury to Statemint.
- It also includes opening the communication channel from Composable to Statemint and from Statemint to Composable.

HRMP Channel Opening: Composable <> Statemint

Launch PSC Parachain - public proposal #21

- A proposal is being submitted to the Polkadot community for voting on helping earthquake victims in Turkey.
- On February 6, 2023, two big earthquakes in Turkey caused over 50,000 deaths and made 1.5 million people homeless.

Batch of HRMP Channels with Statemint

[Please Reject] Superseded by referendum 113

- The proposal is to upgrade the Polkadot network to a new version called runtime v9420.
- This upgrade includes changes from earlier versions and has four migrations for the Relay Chain.
- A big part of this upgrade is adding something called OpenGov to Polkadot.
- For OpenGov to work, another proposal about collectives needs to be approved first.
- There are many improvements in the Relay Chain, such as new features and fixing some issues.
- This upgrade also helps developers by making it easier to see account balances.
- The proposal needs to be approved by the Council before the community can vote on it, which will take 28 days.

Runtime Upgrade v9420 on Polkadot Network

- The Acala Foundation wanted to renew their parachain lease with a new parachain called 3336.
- They won the auction for this new parachain, but a bug in Polkadot stopped it from working properly.
- The plan is to swap the lease between Acala’s old parachain (2000) and the new one (3336).
- Creating the new parachain required special coding, which was difficult and took time.
- After winning the auction, they updated the new parachain's code, but a signal from the bug caused problems.
- The new parachain tried to work but failed, leading to an error because it wasn't set up correctly.
- Now, they need help from the relaychain to fix this issue.

Lease swap for Acala

- A proposal called referendum 112 wants to increase the number of validators in Polkadot to 500.
- The community discussed this and thought it was a good idea, but suggested increasing the number of validators slowly.
- They proposed increasing to 400 validators first, by adding 5 every era.
- Core developers agree and see that increasing the number to 500 will lower the amount of DOT needed for each validator.
- They plan to first increase the count by 3 to reach 400 after 20 eras.
- This proposal is submitted by a group of validators and will need community votes after the Council approves it.

1kvP Validators Initiative: Increase Validators Active Set to 400

- The proposal is to upgrade the Collectives system to a new version called v9420.
- This upgrade includes important changes and improvements since version v9370.
- It introduces XCM v3 and the Technical Fellowship for managing votes and membership.
- The Fellowship will work with the Relay Chain to make decisions using messages.
- There are four runtime migrations for the relay chain included in this upgrade.
- The community will get to vote on this proposal after the Council approves it.
- For more details, you can check the linked release notes.

Runtime Upgrade for Collectives Parachain To v9420

- There has been a lot of talk about how the treasury spends money and what is gained from it.
- A team called Supercolony asked for 6,011 DOT (about $128,000) to host a conference called the "WASM Conference."
- Most of the Supercolony team is from Ukraine and had to leave because of the Russian invasion in March 2022.
- They lost access to their original funds but were given the same amount again to host the conference.
- Now, there is an account with 6,000 DOT that is marked as "lost," and the Polkadot Council has paid for the same conference twice.
- ChaosDAO suggests transferring the "lost" 6,011 DOT back to the treasury because the team received funds twice.
- They believe it’s important for the community of DOT token holders to decide what happens to these funds, not just the council.

Returning Supercolony lost funds back to the Treasury

- Three parachains want to connect with Statemint using HRMP channels.
- The proposal includes transferring 20 DOT from the Treasury to Statemint.
- It involves opening channels between Statemint and each parachain.
- The parachains are BitGreen (ParaID 2,048), SubSocial (ParaID 2,101), and Manta Network (ParaID 2,104).
- Each parachain is requesting this connection through their team.
- A specific encoded call and proposal hash are included for the proposal.

Three New HRMP Channels batch On Polkadot

- The proposal is to add a Bridge Hub (BH) to Polkadot, allowing communication with other networks like Kusama and Ethereum.
- The BH will be a gateway and help route messages between different networks and parachains.
- Currently, the BH has basic features, with more complex functions to be added later.
- The main goal is to get approval from Polkadot stakeholders to start the project.
- Once it's working, it will help Polkadot and Kusama work together better.
- This will allow groups from both networks to support each other more easily.

Polkadot Bridge Hub Genesis

- The Polkadot Council made a proposal to fix a problem from a recent decision (referendum #113).
- After the decision was made, there was a mistake because the header got overwritten by a bad transaction due to a bug.
- Because of this mistake, the parachain (a type of blockchain) couldn't produce new blocks.
- They want to fix this by redoing a part of the earlier decision to set the correct header for the parachain.
- The incorrect header needs to be reset to a specific value to solve the problem.
- The Council confirmed their intention to fix it and provided a signature as proof.
- This proposal will be voted on by the community before it can be put into action.

Fix incorrectly enacted referendum caused by a Substrate bug

- A proposal is being made to allow more validators on Polkadot, increasing the number from 297 to 500.
- Validators need a lot of DOT tokens to be active, about 1.663 million DOT.
- This high requirement makes it hard for new or smaller validators to join.
- The goal is to make it easier for individuals to become validators.
- More active validators means lowering the amount of DOT needed to participate. 
- This change will help bring more diversity and opportunity in validating on Polkadot.

Increase maximum active validator count to 500

- The Watr team wants to reset their blockchain to an earlier state called "seedling."
- They found that current rules don't allow this reset without special permissions or tokens.
- The blockchain is currently locked and can't be used until the relay chain helps.
- This reset won't affect other applications or networks since Watr hasn't started real transactions yet.
- The Watr team has tried other options and is now asking for permission to reset.
- They submitted proof that supports their request to reset the blockchain.
- Community voting will be needed to decide if the proposal will go ahead.

Reset Watr Parachain

### Summary

1. **Registration**: A parathread was registered on the Polkadot relaychain and upgraded to a parachain.
2. **Issue**: Genesis collators failed to produce blocks due to incompatible genesis WASM and state files.
3. **Consequence**: The parachain was stuck at genesis.
4. **Investigation**: Collaborated with Parity development team to identify the problem.
5. **Solution**: Proposed to correct the incompatible WASM and state files with Polkadot governance assistance.
