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.

Executed

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.

- Women in Blockchain Canada wants to build an AI tool to find security problems in the Polkadot network.  
- The tool will learn normal behavior and spot unusual activity to warn users early.  
- They need about $35,000 to make a first version (proof-of-concept).  
- Their team has developers with over 60 years of experience.  
- The lead developer, Danny Kovach, has worked with AI at NASA and Citi Bank.  
- They are also working on a learning website for the Stellar Foundation.  
- The full proposal has more details on how they will build the tool.

TimedOut

Women in Blockchain Canada requests approximately 35,000 USD on July 29th, 2023 to develop a proof-of-concept machine learning tool for security on a network level using adaptive A.I. and unsupervised machine learning algorithms. The project team includes frontend and backend developers, a project manager, and a lead developer with experience in artificial intelligence.

Proposal: Artificial Intelligence for security monitoring on a network level 

DrCAO proposes to build an AIWeb3 Chinese community unit to support Chinese content creators in Dotsama, build connections for different parachain projects, and provide the latest information. The proposal has received positive feedback and is open for further community discussion and feedback.

- This proposal is about fixing the size limit for codes in Polkadot.
- The current on-chain size limit for codes is 10 MiB, but it should be 3 MiB.
- Keeping it at 10 MiB causes issues with consistency checks in the system.
- The proposal suggests changing the limit back to 3 MiB to prevent problems.
- Parachain and Parathread developers need to make sure their code sizes are under 3 MiB.
- Current checks show that most code sizes are already below this limit.

WHO: Polkadot network

WHAT: Modify the on-chain configuration to set the `max_code_size` to 3 MiB from the current 10 MiB.
