After the successful enactment of [motion 438](https://kusama.polkassembly.io/motion/438), scheduling 32 auctions in 2022 from LP21 to LP26, the Kusama community aims to continue including new parachains and allowing those already up and running to renew their slots in 2023. This proposals aims to schedule a new batch of auctions: 

- from LP27 to LP35
- For a total of 57 auctions until January 2024
- For LP27: 3 auctions on LP26
- For LP28: 5 auctions on LP27 and 28
- For LP29: 7 auctions on LP28 and 29
- For LP30: 7 auctions on LP29 and 30
- For LP31: 7 auctions on LP30 and 31
- For LP32: 7 auctions on LP31 and 32
- For LP33: 7 auctions on LP32 and 33
- For LP34: 7 auctions on LP33 and 34
- For LP35: 7 auctions on LP34 and 35

The complete schedule for this year can be found [HERE](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1KyNq6IGrzrfx0ZiMuRY0gMZSqv6la1fNjWF3rOD1zkU/edit#gid=1973973152) from line 17 on: please note the first two auctions for LP27 already happened.

Executed

Runtime Upgrade on Kusama to v9370

This is a proposal to add a Bridge Hub (BH) parachain to Kusama. All technical details can be found in the [Bridge Hub Genesis release](https://github.com/paritytech/cumulus/releases/tag/parachains-bridge-hub-kusama-v9360). The runtime is taken from the v9360 parachains release.

The BH will be the gateway between Kusama and other networks, like Polkadot and Ethereum. For now, the BH only contains some basic logic, and none of the bridge-specific pallets. Those will get added in future runtime upgrades; the goal of this proposal is to get approval from Kusama stakeholders and a "shell" operational such that bridge teams can focus on releasing their bridge logic, not launching a parachain.

The BH will primarily act as a message routing system within the network and between others. For example, parachains can configure their XCMP routing to interpret `parents: 2` (indicating, "go to another consensus system") as something to send to the BH to handle. Likewise, the BH can handle incoming messages and route them to the correct parachain within Kusama.

Once operational, a Polkadot<>Kusama bridge will allow more interaction between the networks. For example, the Technical Fellowship can move onto the Polkadot Collectives parachain and serve both networks; or the Kusama network (as a unit body) could join the Polkadot Alliance.

[Whitelisted Caller] Referendum #53 - Add Bridge Hub System Parachain

This proposal aims to enable pre-checking for runtime upgrade on parachains: With pre-checking enabled a parachain is only allowed to upgrade their runtime **after validators have tried compiling it and they agree it is good**, as opposed to just accepting it blindly and then fail when the parachain tries to produce blocks with the new runtime. This is just generally a good idea, exists for a while already and has been successfully tested on Versi, Rococo and Westend. It is also required for rolling out slashing as it helps reducing the risk of unjustified slashes.

Parachains need to support the `go_ahead_signal,` but that should be a non issue as this has been introduced over a year ago.

[Whitelisted Caller] Referendum #50 - Upgrade Statemine v9360

After the succesful enactment of Ref39 (scheduling one auction with OpenGov to replace the ones not dispatching successfully), this proposal aims to schedule 4 new auctions (1 lost with the migration and the 2 left for LP27). After these, a new schedule for the 2023 will come along for the community to vote on! Note this proposal is submitted as a referendum in OpenGov, under Whitelisted Caller track: meaning that the Kusama community will need to approve and the Fellowship will need to whitelist the proposal hash of this call to enact (the Fellowship is at the moment voting on this proposal to whitelist the hash).

Runtime Release v9360 for Kusama

This is a resubmission of our runtime upgrade which has been whitelisted by fellowship already.
The resubmission is necessary because of several reasons:
1. [referendum 9](https://kusama.subsquare.io/referenda/referendum/9) would have enacted after 15M blocks instead of instantly
2. our joint [referendum 17](https://kusama.subsquare.io/referenda/referendum/17) with Statemine has been executed, but during that time, Encointer was no parachain because of:
3. [referendum 243](https://kusama.polkassembly.io/referendum/243) passed, but failed to execute due to transition to gov2. This was fixed in [referendum 25](https://kusama.subsquare.io/referenda/referendum/25)

So, now we are finally ready to execute our runtime upgrade with the help of the community voting in favor of this referendum.

## runtime upgrade v12

Encointer has a new code upgrade which
* allows participants to unregister from ceremony cycles. This will help us decrease noshows and increase security by doing so
* allows reputables to endorse newbies. This is a massive improvement for growth. Before, only bootstrappers could endorse a one-off amount of newbies. Now, everybody that has recently proven their personhood can endorse a small number (~2-5, TBD) of newbies with every cycle. This is very much in line with the "word of mouth" growth strategy 
* upgrades our dependencies to polkadot-0.9.28

# OpenGov Theory

We would like our runtime upgrade to be whitelisted by the fellowship. As a common good parachain we can't upgrade ourselves and the runtime upgrade needs a knowledgeable review which the fellowship is able to provide. It would be possible to submit to the root track directly, but that is expected to take too long to be practical (~28d) because of very restricitive support thresholds.

The gov2 process in pseudocode for sending a whitelisted XCM with Superuser origin is as follows:

```
// The actual proposal to enact. (no need to note this as a preimage)
let proposal = xcmPallet.send(...);

// Whitelist the `proposal` for dispatch from `WhitelistedCaller`.
let whitelistProposal = whitelist.whitelistCall(hash: hash(proposal));
let preimageWL = preimage.notePreimage(whitelistProposal);

// Whitelists the `proposal` from the Fellowship. 
// This has to be submitted by any member of felllowship (No matter the rank)
let fellowshipReferendum = fellowshipReferenda.submit(
  proposalOrigin: Origins.Fellowship3Dan,
  proposal: Lookup {
    hash: preimageWL.hash, 
    len: preimageWL.len
  },
  ...
);

// Now the fellowship has to vote.....

// The following public referendum can already start. However, the proposal must be whitelisted before the public referendum is enacted

// Dispatch the `proposal` from `WhitelistedCaller`.
let dispatchProposal = dispatchWhitelistedCallWithPreimage(
  call: proposal,
);
let preimageD = preimage.notePreimage(dispatchProposal)

// Dispatches the proposal as long as it has been whitelisted before enacted.
let publicReferendum = referenda.submit(
  proposalOrigin: Origins.WhitelistedCaller,
  proposal: Lookup {
    hash: preimageD.hash,
    len: preimageD.len
  },
  ...
);

Runtime Release v9350 for Kusama

# Encointer V12 + Statemine 9330 Upgrade via Gov2

## Contextual Information

This proposal batches all upgrades for Kusama's system parachains: Statemine and Encointer.

Details of Encointer's upgrade can be found in [this post](https://kusama.polkassembly.io/post/2017), including release notes and feature additions of the V12 release.

Release notes for Statemine are in the [Cumulus v9330 release](https://github.com/paritytech/cumulus/releases/tag/parachains-v9330). This primarily adds a new Assets API for asset class destruction. The new methods can handle cleaning up state over multiple calls, which would be relevant when an asset class has too many accounts/approvals to remove in one block due to PoV limits.

[Whitelisted Caller] Referendum #17: Upgrade Statemine and Encointer Parachains

Cancelled

REJECT - FAILED SUBMISSION

The proposal aims to upgrade Kusama's runtime to [v9340](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot/releases/tag/v0.9.34): more information about Gov2 can be found in the release notes. This proposal replaces referendum 254 on Gov1: approved by the community but not successfully enacted due to some changes, gov1 got changed to use some of the OpenGov logic: and this failed on dispatch.

Runtime v9340 Upgrade On Kusama: Fixing OpenGov Parameters and more! (Replacing referendum 254 on Gov1, which failed to execute)

Dear fellow Kusama community,

We come to you with a humble but urgent request and need your help. 

### TL;DR:

- The Kintsugi parachain stopped producing blocks at block 1,983,993 [2022-12-01 09:32:18 (+UTC)] due to a Kintsugi-specific issue with the slot duration in Aura
- A fix has been found, tested, and reviewed with the help of Parity
- No user funds are affected as of this writing
- The only way to recover the Kintsugi chain is to update the runtime on the relay-chain via Kusama governance and upgrading all Kintsugi collators


**We are asking the Kusama community to vote on recovering the Kintsugi parachain as soon as possible.**

This is a technical emergency and we are hence requesting the whitelist track for this proposal, to accelerate recovery of Kintsugi.

# Summary

The Kintsugi parachain has stopped producing blocks after a runtime upgrade. The issue is with the slot duration migration and is specific to the Kintsugi chain configuration. No other parachains are affected. See detailed description below. 

The only way to recover the chain is via a Kusama governance proposal.  

No user funds are affected as of this writing. 

**Current status of the network: **All operations are halted. New kBTC cannot be issued and kBTC cannot be redeemed. KINT, kBTC, KSM, LKSM, and any other currency on Kintsugi cannot be moved. There are no KINT rewards for either stakers or vaults. Collateral backing BTC is still locked but collateral thresholds are not enforced at the moment.

Vaults are overall very healthy (https://kintsugi.interlay.io/dashboard/vaults) and no liquidations are expected at this time. There were no pending issues or redeem requests at the time of halting. 

Until Kintsugi is back online and producing blocks:
- All exchanges have been advised to halt withdrawals 
- All XCM-connected parachains have been advised to halt XCM channels 

# Technical Details of the Issue 

## Problem

The issue was caused by a problem with the slot duration. Specifically, there is a panic when a collator tries to produce a block:

```
[Parachain] panicked at 'Timestamp slot must match `CurrentSlot`'
```

Initially, Kintsugi was set at genesis to have a slot duration of 6 seconds but parachains typically have 12 second block times. The other chains built from the interBTC code-base (Interlay, and Interlay and Kintsugi testnets) used 12 seconds. A temporary fix was included in the Kintsugi collators to ensure that block production would succeed even with the 6 second blocktimes. The Kintsugi team did not run a migration as suggested by Parity so the temporary fix remained in place. The missing migration did not cause issues for several runtime upgrades.

However, with the 1.20.0 runtime upgrade we included a recommended change to prevent malicious block producers from potentially building a block. Due to the missing migration, a check in the Aura hook panicked due to an incorrect slot duration calculation which prevented Kintsugi from producing blocks.

Collators are not able to produce new blocks as the relay-chain validation would reject any new blocks with the updated runtime. Unfortunately, this issue was not caught during the release process, code reviews, and testnet upgrades. Also, this issue would not have been caught by the `try_runtime` testing approach as this issue is specific to collator producing blocks and the runtime migrations as such were not an issue. The issue is specific to the Kintsugi configuration and was hence not caught by the testing process on testnet. We are not aware of any other parachains being affected by this. 

A detailed post-mortem will be provided shortly and linked to this proposal. 

## Solution

There are two parts to solve this issue:

1. Updating the Kintsugi runtime on Kusama: Collators are unable to produce blocks. Even by using `codeSubstitutes` Kintsugi cannot recover alone due to the bug described above. Hence, a new wasm needs to be set via Kusama governance on the relay-chain.
2. Updating all collators on Kintsugi to use the patched wasm: Updating the Kintsugi runtime on Kusama needs to be executed together with providing all collators in the Kintsugi network a patched wasm to be used via the `codeSubstitutes` approach.
