<p>Greetings *,</p>
<p>In a post migration world, We wanted to share a new cool feature that the Kusama Shield project(shield.markets) has been able to pull off via a swap provider that we managed to convert into Assethub.</p>
<p>You can now swap native SOL, SUI, Zcash etc directly into DOT on Assethub(/Hub). Since the assethub migration, One click ish Zcash &gt; DOT on Assethub  swaps, as well as other third party ecosystem assets.</p>

<p>There have already been successful projects in the ecosystem that set up their legal frameworks without needing this bounty. Do you really think investors like Moonrock Capital, IOSG Ventures, NGC Ventures, Harbour Industrial Capital, and others don’t already have their own legal advisors for this? This bounty simply isn’t needed</p>

<p>“real DOTs” will not exist if the buying/selling pressure is not revealed by a “real buying/selling” liquidation. It is interesting that a cryptographic primitive would signify different things for the same token, DOT, depending on the context. It is like when money is loaned, versus perpetually generated by revenue (hopefully in a distributive economy of many, not just a few holders); Money is fungible, but its utilisation gives it instrumental properties which can vary substantially depending on its context.</p>
<p>You can have any quantity of DOTs issued, but if they don’t hit the market demand with a revealed price of a “real transaction” between two peers, then its value is subjective given by user’s interpretation of risk and other real transactions as you well mentioned.</p>
<p>In this sense, this architecture looks very similar to a perp dex-style vault + insurance fund + funding-rate balancing.</p>
<p>The similarities:</p>
<ul>
<li>Both are overcollateralized vaults that lock a volatile token to issue a spendable “stable” claim, with automatic liquidation/buffer mechanisms to protect solvency.</li>
<li>Both use a continuous, algorithmic payment/flow (funding rate vs. smoothed outflow schedule) to prevent the system from drifting too far in one temporal direction and keep the “perpetual” structure sustainable.</li>
<li>Same role: a hoard of volatile tokens that absorbs shocks so the rest of the system (traders or protocol spenders) isn’t wiped out when collateral value crashes.</li>
<li>Both systems use parametric curves and on-chain signals to steer participant behavior toward a target equilibrium (balanced longs/shorts vs. uniform validator stake).</li>
<li>The core promise is identical: turn a finite/decaying resource into a sustainable perpetual stream through clever financial engineering.</li>
</ul>

<p>The <strong>circular economy</strong> has become a guiding vision for sustainable industry, but most real-world implementations are still plagued by the same problems:</p>
<ul>
<li>Reliance on <strong>top-down coordination</strong></li>
<li>Fragile <strong>subsidy-based incentives</strong></li>
<li>Centralized bottlenecks and inefficiencies</li>
</ul>
<p>But what if the <strong>loops closed themselves</strong>?</p>
<p>What if <strong>prices</strong>, <strong>specialization</strong>, and <strong>material flows</strong> emerged <strong>organically</strong>, like the patterns on a seashell or the structure of a forest ecosystem—through <strong>purely local rules and distributed optimization</strong>?</p>
<p>That’s exactly what I’ve been working on.</p>

<p>Inspired by <strong>Alan Turing’s 1952 morphogenesis model</strong>, I’ve extended my previous work on convex exchange economies into a full-blown <strong>reaction–diffusion economic framework</strong>, where:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Reaction</strong> = local transformation of matter</li>
<li><strong>Diffusion</strong> = token-mediated exchange between agents based on Cobb–Douglas utility functions</li>
</ul>
<blockquote>
<p>The result: <strong>Closed material loops</strong>, <strong>endogenous price formation</strong>, and <strong>emergent specialization</strong> — all appearing <em>spontaneously within the context of a free market</em>, without any centralized planning mechanism other than facilitating this transformations and exchanges virtuosly.</p>

<p>Thanks for the info. The Proof-of-Personhood airdrop sounds good if it reaches enough people. We’re going to maintain Polkadot functionality in our product in the hope that it does.</p>

<p>Definetly a lot of value in encrypted mempools,</p>
<p>Got some questions:</p>
<p><strong>1 -</strong> Are you planning on making the encrypted mempool optional or turned on by default?

<p><strong>2 -</strong> How practically are you going to build this? Will you build a pallet that hooks into the runtime and by default does some magic to enable all tx’s in the mempool to be encrypted?</p>

Treasury Proposal: ink! v6 and cargo-contracts Security Audit by Oak Security

<p>Polkadot’s presence at TechCrunch, in the western epicenter of AI and tech, made a statement about our place in the wider tech community and about Polkadot as foundational technology for the future of the internet. This is crucial for mass adoption of web3. Furthermore, the activation itself was a great example of cross-functional collaboration and how we can showcase real-world use cases that consumers can understand.</p>

THE RIGHT TO DISAPPEAR

Executed

Here's a simple summary of the Kitdot project:

- Kitdot is a toolkit for building apps on PolkaVM using Solidity
- It helps developers work with Kusama Asset Hub
- It lets users log in with social accounts like Google or Twitter
- It makes setting up a local development environment easy
- It helped 200+ contracts get deployed at a hackathon
- 90% of participants were new to the ecosystem
- The creator is asking for funding to continue this work
- Future plans include gasless transactions and account templates

Deciding

[Medium Spender] Referendum #617

- A user lost 102 KSM while transferring from Basilisk to Kusama Asset Hub.
- The transfer worked on Basilisk but the KSM never arrived.
- An XCM message error sent the funds to the wrong chain.
- The funds are not recoverable through normal trapped asset methods.
- The Paraspell team helped find the problem and fixed it.
- The only way to get the funds back is through a treasury spend.
- The user asks the community to approve returning the 102 KSM.
- This was an accident during a system migration, not anyone's fault.

Reimbursement of 102 KSM Lost Due to Incorrect Reserve Selection in XCM Transfer

- This update fixes the KSM and DOT exchange rates on Kusama Asset Hub.
- The rates were lost during a system move and need to be set again.
- It removes old, unused KSM rate information.
- It adds new exchange rates between Kusama and Polkadot Asset Hubs.
- The KSM to DOT rate is set at 4 to 1, just like before.
- Rates are stored using special large numbers for accuracy.
- This helps the treasury system work correctly with KSM and DOT conversions.

Set KSM/DOT Asset Rate Locations on Kusama Asset Hub (Post-Migration Restoration)

Here is a summary of the post in simple terms:

- Encointer wants to upgrade its system to version 2.0.0.
- This upgrade includes a fix for cross-chain stable coin treasuries.
- The fix was also in an older version (1.9.2) that was not released.
- A proposal has been made to allow this upgrade.
- Links to release notes and the proposal are provided.

[Whitelisted Caller] Encointer runtime upgrade to 2.0.0

- Kusama is now a peer network to Polkadot, not just a test network.
- Polkadot wants to manage identity for Kusama through its own system.
- Kusama should have its own identity system to stay independent.
- Relying on Polkadot could let them change or stop Kusama’s identity rules.
- Having separate systems makes both networks stronger and safer.
- Kusama can build its own identity tools and try new ideas.
- Voting "AYE" means Kusama controls its own identity.
- Voting "NAY" means Polkadot controls Kusama’s identity.

Wish for Change: Deploy Native Proof of Personhood Pallets on Kusama Infrastructure

Delay Demo #2 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.
