<p>Yes, thanks, I finally see it. But in my Nova Wallet there is nothing. So I cannot have access to these coins. Interestingly, Nova shows this address as belonging to Kusama Relay. Any ideas how to fix it?</p>

<p>Now I’m in public and apparently no one cares and that sucks but I think this is just an effect of something new and people are busy doing other things, I’m a former believer that consistency speaks louder than words and that’s the mantra I’m using to swallow this lack of feedback and keep building.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Yeah, but it shouldn’t be that way. What you’re asking for is a very basic thing in a healthy community — especially when people are being paid to engage with it. This vibe is causing real damage. The average person or developer isn’t going to put up with it; they’ll move to where they feel most welcomed.<br>
You and I are outliers — we have ideas and believe Polkadot is the best place to build them. The point of this post was to raise the alarm that there’s a serious problem with the community overall that needs to be fixed, or we’ll never reach full adoption.</p>

<p>You have to use the import from Trust Wallet because they use a non-standard derivation path. You can also paste your wallet address in here <a href="https://assethub-kusama.subscan.io/" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">https://assethub-kusama.subscan.io/</a> and see your balance so you know things aren’t lost.</p>

<p>Currently voters have turned very conservative and projects are having a harder time getting their proposals approved.</p>
<p>This project is more about reducing the risk to the treasury by having a clawback mechanism should things not work out. With this clawback mechanism in place the goal is to reduce the risk to the treasury and thus give voters peace of mind to approve more funding for the right projects.</p>
<p>The up-front amounts acceptable to token holders are to be seen. It seems sensible to me to provide certain up-front guarantees to projects as a cushion but I cannot comment on the general consensus.</p>

<p>Yeah but most of the time they need senior : /<br>
But I’m looking at it</p>

<p><strong>Name: Daan van der Plas</strong></p>
<p><strong>Location: Germany</strong></p>
<p><strong>Experience and Contributions, past six months and prior</strong></p>
<p>I entered the Polkadot Ecosystem after successfully completing the first PBA in Camebridge. After that I have joined Parity as Support Engineer, to then Application Engineer, for 1.5 years, and then started the company <a href="https://r0gue.io/" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">R0GUE</a> with my amazing co-founders.</p>
<p>R0GUE is developing the <a href="https://github.com/r0gue-io/pop-cli" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">Pop CLI</a>, an all in tool for Polkadot Development. It co-founded the <a href="https://github.com/use-ink/ink-alliance" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">ink! alliance</a> which is maintaining and further developing the ink! Rust smart contract language. We are also the technical co-maintainers of <a href="https://paseo.site/" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">Paseo</a>, the Polkadot Testnet. In addition, we provide support to Polkadot Developers through our channels and are very involved with Polkadot.</p>
<p>I believe that blockchain technology makes it possible to design systems that distribute the value they generate in proportion to each participant’s contribution, while ensuring that no single entity has the power to change the rules. This in my view can have great positive effect in the world, we can build a better world.</p>
<p>This event is going to be super important for the ecosystems because we have had difficult times as well as new exciting times ahead. I would want to meet people in person that I often only see online, help people build at the hackathon as mentor, and talk to industry experts and newcomers to better understand how we as R0GUE can bring value to Polkadot and the world.</p>
<p>Thanks in advance.</p>

<h3><a name="p-34125-final-proposal-for-resolution-1" class="anchor" href="#p-34125-final-proposal-for-resolution-1"></a><strong>Final Proposal for Resolution</strong></h3>
<p>To facilitate your forensic investigation and resolve this issue efficiently, I propose the following:</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p><strong>Required Action (Forensics):</strong> I grant the Web3 Foundation and Polkadot Support teams <strong>full permission to use my compromised Fearless Wallet address</strong> (16PkJ2…sJj) for <strong>active network tracing and investigation</strong> of the hacker network.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Exclusion:</strong> I request that my <strong>verified, personal exchange address</strong> (16Ng6G…HV6Y) be <strong>excluded from the active forensic analysis</strong>, as it is solely a receiving account under my control and is not part of the exploit.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Compensation:</strong> I formally request reimbursement for the original stolen amount of 260.05 DOT, <strong>minus any funds that have been recently returned to my exchange address</strong> (18 DOT from the recent illicit activity).</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p>My goal is not personal gain but accountability and system security. I have provided irrefutable evidence of a software exploit, which is now actively being used. By accepting this proposal, Polkadot can simultaneously address a security failure, mitigate community risk, and pursue the malicious actors.</p>

Why is Polkadot officially recommending Fearless Wallet despite zero support, zero response to theft, and confirmed app vulnerability?

Deciding

Runtime Upgrade 1.9.2

- A new forum is being built for the Kusama community to talk and work together
- It will be a special website that runs on blockchain technology
- People can post messages, images, and comments that can't be deleted or changed secretly
- You can choose which people to trust and see content only from them
- It helps replace regular websites with better blockchain versions
- The creator has built similar projects before and received funding
- It will be ready by the end of 2025
- Using the forum will help make Kusama more valuable

Here's a simple summary of Referendum Alert:

- It's a free Telegram bot for Kusama and Polkadot
- Sends instant alerts when people vote on proposals
- Shows who voted and how they voted
- Works in private chats and group chats
- Now shows people's names if they have them set up
- Plans to make daily vote summaries
- Will group alerts to avoid too many messages
- Helps people follow governance decisions easily

Referendum Alert: Real-Time OpenGov Vote Notifications on Telegram

- Kusama started with 10 million KSM tokens.
- Now there are over 17 million tokens.
- Too many new tokens are made, which lowers the value.
- About half of new tokens are sold right away.
- This proposal wants to limit the total to 21 million KSM.
- It would cut new tokens by 55% in 2025, then 15% less every two years.
- This helps Kusama be more like Bitcoin, with a fixed supply.
- The goal is to make Kusama stronger and fairer for everyone.

Hard Pressure Capped & Stepped Supply Schedule

- Polkadot Nigeria wants to help small businesses in Nigeria use Kusama blockchain
- Nigeria has millions of small businesses but very few use blockchain technology
- They plan to bring 6 businesses into the Kusama ecosystem
- These businesses will be from farming, delivery, healthcare, and money sectors
- They will work with government agencies and other partners
- The project will create tools and training for businesses
- They have already helped many people learn about Polkadot before
- They are asking for 2,800 KSM to make this happen

Preparing

Enterprise Adoption & Institutional Collaborations for Kusama in Nigeria

Here's a simple summary of the upgrade:

* Kusama network is getting an update
* This prepares for moving important functions to Asset Hub
* Three more trusted validators are being added
* This helps keep the network secure
* The upgrade happens first
* The big migration starts about a day later
* The migration takes about 6 hours to complete
* Everything should work normally during these changes

Executed

Runtime Upgrade 1.9.1 and Invulnerable Set Extension

Cancelled

Cancelled, need to make a new ref

- This proposal asks for money to keep funding RPC providers for one year.
- RPC services help people use the Kusama network and its parachains.
- The total cost is $112,608, which is less than before.
- Providers must bid to offer these services, and the best ones get chosen.
- If they don't meet quality standards, they can lose funding.
- This system has helped lower costs and reduce extra funding requests.
- More information is available in a linked document.

Funding for Public RPC Providers via Bounty 25

Delay Demo #2 Treasury Guardian

- Turing Network wants to deregister its parachain ID 2114.
- They can't do it themselves because the parachain is locked and not running.
- The parachain can't send the message needed to deregister itself.
- The only way to deregister it is through Kusama Governance.
- The owner of the parachain ID is asking for this change.
- The owner's account is CmxJEdEniSV6hGWoKfHWLR6h4A1dh5gD1vgzmD12osJvGsk.

Deregister paraID 2114: Turing Network

- A batch call had an error because a field was set to "0" instead of "None".
- The mistake happened with a transaction to the treasury guardian.
- The team will fix the code and try again.
- A scheduled payment (ID 5) will expire in 15 days.
- There isn't enough time to delay it because voting takes 17 days.
- This proposal creates a new scheduled payment far in the future.
- The team will use the treasury guardian tool to delay this new payment.

New scheduled payout to test treasury guardian

- The referendum is about testing a new tool called Treasury Guardian.  
- It includes a payment to Mr. Bill Laboon, which might be delayed or canceled.  
- The tool helps with milestone-based payments to improve treasury efficiency.  
- The goal is to get more people involved in Kusama and Polkadot OpenGov.  
- Follow [TreasuryEff on X](https://x.com/TreasuryEff) for updates.
