AI Summary

Hey everyone, I wanna start by saying thank you to the community for the overwhelming support of OpenGov referendum 494. Since then we have been heads down working on the storage network and have now completed phase 1 and some extra parts.

If you weren't aware we have been posting weekly updates on the forum

Check out the book https://eigerco.github.io/polka-storage-book/ It contains lots of technical details and some nice instructions on how to test it. Work continues uninterrupted on phase 2 tasks.

During this time, in addition to the work on the storage network, there's two more projects we have been working on that contribute to Polkadot:

We integrated Move to Substrate. Allowing builders to integrate the Move VM and execute Move smart contracts. Anyone can now create a Move parachain on Polkadot. https://x.com/Polkadot/status/1816109501394637034
We have a full team working on Strawberry our client implementation of JAM and are very close to the first milestone. More updates on that soon.

SubSquare has completed phase 1 of their storage network and has been posting weekly updates on the forum. They have also been working on two other projects that contribute to Polkadot: integrating Move to Substrate and working on Strawberry, their client implementation of JAM. Anyone can now create a Move parachain on Polkadot. Links to their full proposal, initial research, forum discussion, and OpenGov Phase 1/3 are available. Check out the book for technical details and instructions on how to test the storage network.
