Upgrade of Kusama Runtime to v2026 

"Robots Waiting for Kusama" is a proposal to show the capabilities of the Kusama network for robotics technicians. The proposal has 5 milestones with 10 robotic devices each. The first milestone includes:

1. Talking to universities about using 10 robots for a demonstration.
2. Helping university members with technical support.
3. Getting the robots ready and making sure everything works.

For each robot, they will:
- Check and fix the robot's software if needed.
- Turn on the robot.
- Collect and send information about how the robot is working.
- Make a video, write down what they did, and share a report.

They are asking for 850 KSM (Kusama coins) to get the robots ready and pay for other costs. The first milestone will take about 12 weeks to finish.

Robots Waiting for Kusama: Milestone 1

Jaco Greeff is suggested to be a curator for a bounty because of his work with Apps. A bounty is a reward for completing a task, and a curator helps decide who gets the reward. There was a problem with the last bounty because it was approved but not given money. Now that the money is available, they are trying again to give Jaco Greeff the job of curator.

- Motion 229 increases the number of validators by 1 every 6 hours for 100 eras.
- It was created because Referendum 88 passed but couldn't be executed due to a technical error.
- The motion was proposed to address the issue until a new feature (damping function) is tested and ready.
- The number of repetitions was reduced from 400 to 100 to help manage the waiting list of validators.

Motion 229 replacing Referendum 88 - validators increase.

Milestone 2 of the work and treasury proposal for Kusama includes new features such as custom derivation paths, exporting accounts as JSON, restoring accounts from JSON, importing wallet mnemonic seeds with a QR code reader, and using Shamir's Secret Sharing for partial seed backup on NFC tags. The proposal has reduced the initial ask from 1000 KSM to 433 KSM due to Kusama's price appreciation and some tasks being covered in milestone 1. The proposer address is Cj73v7pDr15YaKg6cXzbZYft3Vg3ogLiViVYwimmnUFtHmU.

A new feature is being planned to allow users to see bounties on Apps. This will help people use the bounty extension more easily. Jaco Greeff, who has experience in this area, will be in charge of this project. The plan is to create a user interface for bounties on Apps, which will need both design and development work. You can read more about the proposal and give your feedback on a Google document. Once people have shared their thoughts, the proposal will be sent to the council for approval.

The Validators Resource Center is an idea to create a page for validators' information on the Kusama Network. The website will provide data about validators' performance to help nominators choose the best nomination set. The project has two phases and the team welcomes feedback. Mario from the Kusama Dev Team, along with Jonas from W3F and Will from Parity, will work on implementing the project. More information about the project can be found in a document linked in the text.
