- Proposal hash: `0x98b3a8aa425c1e1ca5cd96d1b8f3491233b0745575e648a8c5497e83cec76f16`
- Aim: Increase the limit of nomination pools from 64 to 128 in Polkadot.
- Initial limit: Set at 64 to prevent risks during launch.
- Current status: Everything is working as expected.
- Next steps: If the Council approves, the community will vote in the referenda queue.
- Decision: Final decision will be made by the community.

Increasing Max Number of Nomination Pools

- The proposal aims to avoid a situation where no one can change or set nominations due to the high number of nominators.
- It targets to outstrip Referendum 86, which is currently up for community vote and sets higher nomination minimum bond limits.
- The new motion suggests shorter voting and enactment periods compared to Referendum 86.
- If approved and fast-tracked, this proposal would make Referendum 86 redundant.
- Along with updating staking configurations, this proposal would cancel Referendum 86.
- The importance of higher nomination minimum bond limits is discussed in an initial post.
- The proposal is crucial as the number of nominators is close to reaching 50,000.

### Summary

- A proposal to upgrade Polkadot's runtime to v9320 was submitted but will fail due to a code change in the scheduler pallet.
- The scheduler now checks if a scheduled call exceeds the block's remaining weight, which causes the `set_code` call to always fail.
- An external motion (306) has been opened to cancel this proposal.
- A new proposal with the correct call will be submitted soon.
- The proposal includes various updates and fixes, such as removing contracts RPCs, adapting to weightv2, and improving documentation visibility.
- The proposal hash is `0xbd78d3542767047aba0babb8c8825a5799e3ef54a21193ffe24b98eb4f895162`.
- After Council approval, the community will vote on the proposal in the referenda queue.

### Summary of Polkadot Staking Changes

1. **Nomination Pools**: Polkadot is introducing nomination pools to simplify staking for DOT holders.
2. **Current System**: Nominators currently need at least 10 DOTs and compete within a limit of 50,000 to be in the top 22,500 for staking rewards.
3. **Active vs. Waiting**: Nominators are either active (in the top 22,500) or waiting.
4. **Goal**: Encourage waiting nominators to join pools and prevent new waiting nominators.
5. **Proposed Change**: Increase the minimum nomination limit to 100 DOTs to discourage waiting nominators.
6. **Buffer**: Keeping a buffer of waiting nominators is beneficial for economic security.
7. **Immediate Action**: Reject nominations with less than 50 DOTs, directing them to join pools.
8. **Original Discussion**: For more details, see the [original post](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/post/1224).

Proposal: Slightly higher nomination limits

### Polkadot Runtime Upgrade Proposal

- **Proposal**: Upgrade Polkadot's runtime to version v9300.
- **Previous Issue**: Motion 286 replaced Motion 285 due to queue limitations.

Runtime v9300 Upgrade On Polkadot

- **Motion 286** is a proposal up for vote on Polkadot.
- It aims to remove limits on the number of members in nomination pools.
- This change is needed to fulfill the goals of **Referendum 78**.
- The previous proposal had a mistake, so pools are still unusable.
- Voting is important to fix this issue.
- The community should vote soon to move this to the referenda queue.
- This will help make nomination pools functional on Polkadot.

Removing members' limit for the community to join nomination pools

**Fix for Referendum 74**

- Fixes a failed execution of Referendum 74.
- Uses a batch of Transact instructions instead of a single batch call.
- Adds a sixth pair with ParaId 2030 (Bifrost).
- Includes a force_transfer of 22 DOT: 20 for the new parachain and 2 for XCM fees.
- Requests fast tracking if it passes the Council.
- The original 5 channel requests remain unchanged.
- The fix should work on the current version of Polkadot.
