### Summary

- Bifrost secured a lease for 16-23 through crowdloan paraid: 3356.
- Bifrost's current lease for para 2030 is for lease 15, causing a gap in block production.
- A pause in block production for para 2030 is expected during the lease swap.
- Suggested solution: Use the Lease Admin Track to clear and transfer leases.
- Detailed steps include clearing leases for para 3356 and adding them to para 2030.
- Governance parameters ensure timely execution and minimal DOT locking.
- Potential risk: Uncertainty about crowdloan unlocking, requiring further confirmation.

lease_admin

Bifrost wants to clear its lease for para 3356 and add the corresponding lease period to para 2030 to avoid an interruption in block production. The suggested solution is to use the Lease Admin governance track, and the cost is a decision deposit of 5000 DOT. The potential risk is that it may affect the normal expiration and unlocking of the two crowdloans, but it is assessed that it will not.

Transfer the Lease of Bifrost Parachain 3356 to Bifrost Parachain 2030 to avoid downtime
