Saxemberg has voted NAY on the Kusama referendum 606. Sol-XCM | A typed interface for interoperability from Solidity. All core improvements to the sdk, sdk tooling and non-Kusama specific referenda with significant amounts should be submitted to Polkadot's Opengov.

Other observations include the fact that other bridging applications seem better suited for end users and applications like ISMP / Hyperbridge, Snowbridge which are easier to interact and able to carry messages to/from Assethub for applications without the need to interact with XCM directly. For now only parachains and core services use XCM, if there were demand for XCM - EVM for end users and applications, signaling from these parachains/future JAM projects becomes necessary. Tooling without demand has proven to be one of the least impactful ways to give grants, at least some initial demand from current and proposed projects is needed. A Kusama step is no longer needed as it no longer fulfills the role of alpha chain for any project so a direct deployment to Polkadot is recommended without this intermediate step, specially when longer and continued funding is required (potentially after 2-3 months). Polkadot referenda also enjoy of a longer decision period which makes it better suited for amounts such as these. In case it is a Kusama-only application, a discouragement from this approach is in order as Kusama currently lacks a role outside of Polkadot-sdk tests from Parity and no other team is using it or planning to support it in the future in a significant way. At 168k p/a, this amount makes it better suited for Polkadot Opengov as large expenditures on Kusama should be discouraged for now.  Due to the faster approval window that Kusama has, we prefer the resubmission of a referendum if needed.

Disclaimer Kusama:
Our Kusama modeling is highly experimental and includes more than 2000 non-linguistic parameters so these are only verbal observations also included in the vote calculations and they are not an extensive review of the full rationale behind this vote. 

I agree that interoperability with XCM is a key differentiator that needs to be exploited, for Solidity developers a tool like this one will be a must have.  
It would be nice to see this tool evolving into some kind of extensible "Paraspell for Solidity" and provide higher level abstractions to make interaction with foreign chains a breeze, e.g. a solidity dev shouldn't need a master to do a multi-hop XCM that takes some funds from KAH to a Polkadot parachain like Hydration swap and bring back to KAH.

*Sol-XCM project is a typed interface generator for Solidity. With Solidity contracts deployable on Kusama Hub—and soon on Polkadot Hub—we want to enable contracts to communicate with any part of the ecosystem, and even beyond it. Interoperability is the key difference when deploying a Solidity contract on Kusama Hub compared with other ecosystems. We should highlight this as much as possible and make it easy to use.* Sol-XCM makes this possible by enabling interoperable Solidity contracts on Kusama Hub and, in the future, the Polkadot Hub.

*Full proposal:* [*https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dTAjpvBNvzg9XHeLlcC4wtmIcmnIeOTgc9MRS\_lVQyc/edit?usp=sharing*](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dTAjpvBNvzg9XHeLlcC4wtmIcmnIeOTgc9MRS_lVQyc/edit?usp=sharing)

- Sol-XCM is a tool for Solidity contracts.
- It helps contracts talk to other parts of the ecosystem.
- Contracts can be used on Kusama Hub and soon on Polkadot Hub.
- It makes contracts work together easily.
- This is special because it lets contracts connect with many different systems.
- The main goal is to make contracts more connected.
- It focuses on making communication simple and useful.
