- 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

- Kusama started with 10 million KSM tokens.
- Now there are over 17 million, which is too many.
- Too many new tokens are being sold, making KSM worth less.
- This proposal wants to limit KSM to 21 million total.
- It will reduce new tokens by 55% starting in 2025.
- After that, it will reduce by 15% every two years.
- This will help Kusama grow fairly and sustainably.

Hard Pressure Capped & Stepped Supply Schedule

- 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

- Polkadot wants to change a rule for new communication channels between blockchains.
- Currently, up to 1,000 messages can wait in line on the main relay chain.
- The proposal is to lower this number to 25 messages for new channels.
- This helps keep things running smoothly and prevents big delays.
- If a receiving blockchain is stuck, fewer waiting messages means less stress when it starts again.
- Old channels will keep the old limit of 1,000 messages.
- Special channels can still ask for a higher limit if needed.

- Each token has its own name, symbol, and decimals count.

Time to learn about regulatory capture: https://forum.polkadot.network/t/opengov-adjustments-2025/14295 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regulatory_capture

- Kusama wants to upgrade to JAM but it's too expensive alone  
- Solution: Share costs with Polkadot using the same JAM system  
- Both KSM and DOT tokens would work together  
- Saves money by splitting security costs  
- Makes both networks stronger together  
- Needs both communities to agree  
- Could set example for future shared systems

Kusama JAM Upgrade: Option B - Full power and Polkadot friendly

- Kusama wants a special JAM upgrade that fits its small economy.  
- It will use fewer computer cores (32 vs. Polkadot's 341).  
- Blocks will be faster (1-second finality).  
- KSM token will be used for payments and security.  
- Costs will be much lower (~2.4% inflation).  
- Good for fast apps but has lower data capacity.  
- Keeps Kusama independent and experimental.  
- Focuses on speed-sensitive projects.

Kusama JAM Upgrade: Option A - Lightweight and independent
