Encointer is planning to launch its mainnet as a common good parachain on Kusama. They have a proposal that includes preparation tasks and operation expenses for onboarding. Many councillors have already shown their support for Encointer's plan. The proposal includes a description, budget, and roadmap. Encointer wants a common good parachain slot before slot 20 for 8 lease periods. At the end of the lease, they will check if Encointer has a working solution, an active ecosystem, integration with other parachains, and good governance. The treasury spend is 35,800 USD, which is equal to KSM at today's 30-day average price.

This project aims to help people understand the technology behind these protocols through a music video. The video will focus on the rhythm of the music and the design chosen to represent the stages of the protocol processes. The project is an experiment for educational purposes and should be enjoyed as a piece of art.

The proposal for this project can be found [here](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1E14oPe0YU8jXA7Rp4khelZwGTNqJsFfEUTi9tRpVrDo/edit?usp=sharing). The current KSM rate is $345, based on a 30-day average rate tool by Subscan. This proposal covers the first allocation for two months of work, and a second final proposal will be submitted after a council review of the progress report.

Motion 337 is a new feature in the staking system that helps keep the quality of backing scores high. It is an extra security measure added in a recent update. With this motion, any staking solutions given to the chain must have a score that meets the minimum set by the motion. The numbers are based on the average score of Polkadot/Kusama elections and are updated every 50 eras. This motion does not change the current staking parameters, and validators and nominators will continue to work as they did before. The numbers for Kusama are 2.1527 kKSM, 2.7141 MKSM, and 62.1842 ZKSM.

SubQuery and Fearless Wallet are working together to create an open source API for the Kusama blockchain. This API will help developers build applications that can access important data from the Kusama chain without having to directly query the chain data. The project has three milestones:

1. Create an open-source SubQuery project for common data.
2. Document and publish learning material and tutorials.
3. Implement the SubQuery project for Kusama.

The second milestone focuses on implementing the SubQuery project for Kusama, making it open source and available for everyone to use. This will improve the interoperability of decentralized applications (DApps) and parachains, and attract more developers to work on Kusama. The API is designed to work across any parachain, and the developers welcome feedback from the Kusama community to improve it over time.

Open-Source DApp API: Milestone 2

Ask! is a project that aims to provide contract frameworks and compilation tools using AssemblyScript. It allows contracts to run in the FRAME Pallet-Contracts and call each other. The development of v0.2 was completed a month ago, and v0.3 will add new features and improvements.

Main features of v0.3 include:
1. A project management tool called `ask-cli` that helps create and manage Ask! projects.
2. Performance optimizations, such as merging `@storage` and `@contract`, optimizing key generation logic, reducing calls to `seal_set_storage`, and defining the export format of Map and Array in metadata.json.
3. System parameter types in custom `env` to meet specific requirements.
4. Unit testing and documentation to help developers learn and use Ask!.

The development timeline for v0.3 is 10 weeks with a cost of $93,000. Verification of v0.3 can be done through the official npm library, examples, tutorials, and API documentation.
