Poll: Do you think that Kusama's inflation is kept so high so that validators, DAOs and developers can enrich themselves at the expense of normal users?

Poll: Are you in favor of reducing the minimum commission rate for validators?

Poll: Are you in favor of reducing the maximum inflation rate?

Poll: Are you in favor of a treasury burn?

Sofi | The Future of Decentralised Wellness & the Human Health Ledger – Summary

- **Requested Amount:** 33,333 KSM  
- **Goal:** Help Kusama and Polkadot work better together by adding KSM to a special pool called Hydration Omnipool.  
- **How it works:** The KSM will be added to the pool to make trading easier between Kusama and Polkadot.  
- **Control:** The KSM will stay under the control of Kusama and OpenGov.  
- **No middleman:** This makes it simple to move value between the two chains without needing a central exchange.  
- **Similar to DOT:** It’s like how 1,000,000 DOT were added to the pool earlier.  
- **Result:** This will create a very liquid and easy way to trade KSM on Polkadot.

New post test

### Summary

- A new KSM/DOT liquidity pool has been created on Kusama's AssetHub, leveraging the Polkadot-Kusama bridge.
- The pool aims to improve liquidity and asset swaps between Kusama and Polkadot.
- An incentives plan is proposed to support the pool's growth, including rewards in KSM from the Kusama treasury.
- Rewards will be managed by a smart contract on the Kreivo parachain and will be time-locked to encourage long-term liquidity provision.
- Community input is sought to refine the incentives plan and ensure its success.
- The goal is to make the pool a key example of interoperability and innovation within the Kusama ecosystem.

Liquidity incentives for KSM<>DOT pool

- Referendum 382 issued three payouts totaling 3 KSM from the Kusama Asset Hub Treasury.
- The first payout of 1 KSM was successful.
- The second payout of 1 KSM will be available after block number 23105000.
- The third payout of 1 KSM will be available after block number 23255000 but will be voided.
- The voiding of the third payout can be verified on-chain using Polkadot-JS UI.
- The voiding process is part of testing the void spend functionality.
