Maintenance for the substrate-api-client Jan-25 to Jun-25

- A problem occurred where assets were going to be sent to a Relay Chain Proxy, making them inaccessible.
- The issue was fixed by pulling a preimage to stop the payout.
- A new proposal aims to correct the payout mistake.
- Proof of the preimage being pulled is available online.
- Waiting for a new feature called Pure Proxy Replication would take too long and leave assets unusable.
- A similar solution for other projects was not used to avoid delays.
- Voting will help fix the payout issue faster.
- Thank you for your support! ❤️🤖

- An attacker stole over 312,185 DOT and 126,837 USDT from a parachain.

- The upgrade will restore control and remove the attacker's privileges.
- Efforts are being made to recover stolen funds and improve security.
- The community is being kept informed and encouraged to provide feedback.

Critical Runtime Upgrade to Prevent Further Exploitation

- The proposal is for organizing 5 investor events by Prestel and Partners, not a large budget like a previous failed proposal.
- They wanted to apply for an Events Bounty, but it was rejected because of a past failure.

- Anyone can speak on behalf of Polkadot at the events if they reach out via email.
- The five summits will be held in Riyadh, Dubai, Singapore, Istanbul, and London between February and July 2025.
- Prestel and Partners were chosen because they are experts in organizing investor conferences.
- HIC is leading this effort to help traditional investors understand Polkadot, and they are not making any money from it.
- The treasury should fund this to attract new money for Polkadot projects and help raise the value of DOT.
