VOTE NAY, WRONG PRE-IMAGE

- Some important decisions in a system should not be delegated to others.
- The Root track, Wish for Change track, and Treasurer track are very important and should not be delegated.
- Delegation is good for less important tasks but risky for critical ones.
- Important decisions, like marriage or divorce, should not be handled by someone else.
- This is to protect the system and make sure important decisions are made carefully.
- It’s not about targeting anyone, but about keeping the system safe.

Proposal: Do not allow delegations on Root, Wish for Change, and Treasurer tracks due to their vital importance. Trusting a third party for such critical actions is risky. This is not targeted at DV, but rather to protect the system's integrity. No specific price/timeframe/resources mentioned.

### Phala Network Referendum Summary

- **Purpose**: To transfer $PINK tokens from Phala's sovereign account on Polkadot to a sibling account on AssetHub.
- **Background**: Phala received 18,862,885 $PINK tokens from the PINK team, but mistakenly provided the wrong account.
- **Issue**: The sovereign account on AssetHub cannot be controlled directly, so the tokens cannot be moved without a referendum.
- **Solution**: A referendum is needed to move the tokens via XCM from Polkadot.
- **Outcome**: If passed, the tokens will be moved to the correct sibling account.
- **Distribution**: The tokens will be distributed to the Phala community based on a strategy proposed by the community.
- **Community Involvement**: The distribution plan was discussed and approved by the Phala community.
- **Next Steps**: Community members are encouraged to vote on the referendum.

Phala Network proposes a referendum to move $PINK from their sovereign account to their sibling account on AssetHub, to distribute it to their community. The proposal needs a referendum to send an XCM message from Polkadot, and the distribution will follow a strategy proposed by the community.

### Summary of JAM Proposal

- **JAM Protocol**: A decentralized, cryptoeconomic protocol proposed as a potential replacement for the Polkadot Relay-chain.
- **CoreJam**: An early version of the JAM protocol, proposed in Polkadot Fellowship RFC-31.
- **Responsibilities**: If approved, Polkadot Fellows would be responsible for ratifying the final JAM protocol, defining tests, and ensuring compatibility with the Polkadot Relay-chain.
- **Deployment**: The Polkadot Relay-chain would halt when the JAM chain and compatibility service are ready, after professional audits.
- **Remark Call**: Approval of the proposal signals community willingness for JAM supervision by the Technical Fellowship, but no on-chain changes will occur.

Polkadot Fellows propose JAM, a decentralized protocol that could replace Polkadot Relay-chain. The proposal aims to ratify and define conformance and performance tests for the Polkadot JAM Protocol, and develop and deploy a Polkadot-Relay-chain compatibility service on the JAM protocol. The Polkadot Relay-chain should halt when the JAM chain, compatibility service, and required system parachains are ready for launch. The proposal is a remark call, signaling the community's willingness to accept the ratification and supervision of JAM by the Technical Fellowship.

**Proposal for Deregistration of Equilibrium Parachain**

- There are worries about a recent change from a project called Equilibrium, which may mislead investors.

Ameer Omar is part of the CryptoEQ team. Here are some key points about him and the company:

- CryptoEQ offers research and ratings for digital assets.
- They started in 2020 and help various clients, including companies and investors.
- Ameer is connecting with the Polkadot community to support their projects.
- They want to focus on three topics: XCMv3, OpenGov, and Blockspace.
- XCMv3 looks at how different blockchains can work together.
- OpenGov is about new ways of governance in Polkadot.
- Blockspace deals with how Polkadot creates high-quality blocks.
- Ameer shared resources to help explain their work better.

CryptoEQ proposes to provide comprehensive fundamental research on three topics to benefit the Polkadot ecosystem and the wider market. The topics include XCMv3, OpenGov, and Blockspace. The proposal's complete details are available at Polkadot | CryptoEQ Proposal. The proposal's resources include a deck showcasing reports, a DOT report, an example of a CORE+ report, and a one-pager providing an overview of the network. The proposal's value and commitment to long-term monitoring of the Polkadot ecosystem are compared to other proposals.

Featured Research Proposal: Empowering the Polkadot Ecosystem [CryptoEQ]

- Circle is a company that creates digital money called USDC.
- USDC is a stablecoin, meaning it's always worth the same as a real dollar.
- There are over $25 billion USDC coins being used right now.
- Circle checks and shares how much USDC is backed by real money every week and month.
- The company wants USDC to be used easily on a platform called Polkadot.
- This change would help more people use USDC and do transactions without needing other tokens.
- Making USDC easier to use could help Polkadot grow and attract new projects.

Circle requests Polkadot Relay Chain governance to make USDC sufficient on Polkadot, allowing it to be used to pay transaction fees and exist on accounts without DOT. This proposal can attract mainstream users and simplify user experience, expanding access to USDC liquidity and helping the ecosystem grow. No price/timeframe/resources mentioned.

Moonbeam's lease on the Polkadot network is set to expire in October 2023. To extend the lease through June 2025, a "swap" of lease periods is needed. The Moonbeam Foundation has secured a new parachain slot for lease periods 13 through 20, which is currently occupied by "Moonelement," a dummy parachain created by Moonbeam. To swap leases between Moonbeam and Moonelement, both parachains must authorize the swap. Moonbeam's referendum is expected to confirm this swap, but a misconfiguration in Moonelement's genesis head prevents it from starting. Therefore, the Moonbeam Foundation has created Polkadot OpenGov Referendum 139 to execute the swap on behalf of Moonelement. Once the swap is complete, Moonbeam will continue to operate without interruption for the full lease period.

Moonbeam proposes to extend its lease period on Polkadot network through June 2025 by executing a "swap" of lease periods with Moonelement. Moonbeam has created a referendum to authorize the swap from its side, and another referendum (Polkadot OpenGov Referendum 139) will execute the swap on behalf of Moonelement. The proposal needs to be completed before October 2023, and once the parachains swap leases, the Moonbeam Network will be able to continue operation without interruption for the remainder of the full lease period (approximately 96 weeks from August 1, 2023).

Moonbeam: Swap Leases with Parachain 3342

The Nodle Parachain stopped working after a recent upgrade failed. To fix this, the team proposes using a special function on Polkadot to restart the parachain quickly. They want to keep the current state of the parachain and not change any past transactions. The problem was caused by a part of the upgrade taking too long, making the parachain stop making new blocks. The team has made a new version of the code that should fix the problem. They tested this new code and it worked well. They also have a plan to prevent this kind of problem from happening again in the future.

Nodle's Parachain is bricked after a failed upgrade. Proposal to use forceSetCode functionality on Polkadot to restart it. A new runtime has been prepared and tested. Prevention strategy includes improving testing tools and enforcing benchmarking of migration code.
