This proposal is about changing the target for coretime sales in the Kusama ecosystem. The main idea is to adjust the "ideal_bulk_proportion" parameter from 100% to 40%. This change will help coretime prices be more realistic and benefit the Kusama ecosystem. The main use of KSM is to pay for coretime, but the current prices are very low, which is not good for the system. By making this change, we can find the true value of coretime and keep the current inflation rate that supports validator operations. This is just a starting point, and the parameter can be adjusted in the future based on how the market responds and the needs of the ecosystem.

Executed

Adjust (only) ideal bulk proportion

We want to move Youdle DAO's money to a safer place called Kusama Treasury. The people who control the money now, Invarch team, have made some bad choices with the money before. They moved a lot of ASTAR money without telling anyone. People are worried and want to know what's going on, but the team doesn't give clear answers. 

To keep the money safe, we should move the rest of the money (400 KSM) to Kusama, where it can be managed better. Later, we will give the money back to Youdle DAO in a way that everyone can see and trust. We hope everyone will agree with this plan to keep the DAO's money safe.

Here are some examples of why we don't trust the Invarch team:
- They moved money to a place called CEX without a good reason.
- They were supposed to share Pink tokens with the community, but they gave a lot to their own founder instead.
- They launched a new token called VARCH, and people who bought it lost a lot of money.
- They didn't give all the KSM tokens they promised.
- They shut down a project called Tinkernet and gave people VARCH tokens instead, which turned out to be bad too.

TimedOut

To prevent potential mismanagement of Youdle DAO treasury funds, we propose temporarily transferring these assets to the Kusama Treasury, which is now the safest option.
Rationale:
The Invarch team, which currently controls the funds, has a history of questionable financial decisions, including the transfer of more than 200K ASTAR from the DAO to a CEX without transparency.
Community members have raised concerns and asked questions about fund management, but the team has not provided clear answers.
To ensure responsible management, these remaining funds (400 KSM) should be safeguarded under Kusama governance.
Next Steps:
The funds will later be returned to Youdle DAO holders through a transparent and verifiable process.
&nbsp;
We urge the community to support this measure to protect DAO resources.

Tinkernet rug Tinkernet (kusama parachain) was shutdown. Investors were given 4 VARCH for 1 TINKER. VARCH was later a rug so this converts Tinkernet in a rug. Before shuting down they made an LBP in Osmosis (Cosmos) which also was a rug.&nbsp;

Reducing Inflation is a proposal to adjust Kusama's inflation parameters. The proposal suggests reducing the annual inflation rate from 10% to 5%, as the ecosystem has matured enough for long-term sustainability. The changed parameters include setting MaxInflation to 5% and changing UseAuctionSlots from true to false. The proposal also discusses reducing ideal bulk coretime sales to increase demand for KSM and adjust the core business model. The ideal bulk proportion is suggested to be changed from 100% to 40%. The proposer, a Kusama enthusiast, hopes the proposal will be well-received and contribute to the ecosystem's growth.

- BOTLabs GmbH registered two Kusama parachains (2086 and 2108) for the KILT Protocol.
- Parachain 2086 was used for Spiritnet but is no longer needed since KILT moved to Polkadot in October 2022.
- Parachain 2108 was used to bid for a new lease but was later swapped to 2086.
- Both parachains are no longer required.
- Unlocking a parachain was not supported at the time of registration.
- A proposal is made to deregister both chains through governance.
- The signature for parachain 2086 is provided for verification.

BOTLabs GmbH registered Kusama parachains 2086 and 2108 for the benefit of the KILT Protocol. Kusama ParaID 2086 is the legacy Spiritnet which is not required anymore since KILT moved to Polkadot in October 2022. 2108 was used to bid for a new lease which was later swapped to 2086. Both chains are no longer required, but at the time of registration, unlocking a parachain was not supported. We therefore propose to deregister both chains via governance. Please verify the signatures of both registrar accounts for 2086 and 2108.

[Root] Referendum #279: NIS Target

- Acala Foundation won a parachain slot auction for Para ID 2233 to renew Karura's lease.
- Para ID 2233 is locked and in a bad state, needing root track to fix it.
- A proposal called RFC-14 was made to fix the issue and improve the parachain lock system.
- A draft solution was created but is waiting for approval.
- The Polkadot Fellowship is taking over Polkadot runtime, which is causing delays.
- A lease swap between Karura (Para ID 2000) and Para ID 2233 is suggested to fix the issue now.
- Once RFC-14 is approved, future lease swaps won't need root track help.

The proposal suggests performing a lease swap between Karura and Para ID 2233 to fix the bad state and improve the parachain lock mechanism. The timeframe and resources required for the implementation are uncertain due to the ongoing process of taking over the ownership of Polkadot runtime.

Perform lease swap for Karura

- A referendum is being proposed to change how Kusama's spending works.
- Some spending limits and decision-making rules will be updated.
- For example, the "Small Spender" limit will go from 333 KSM to 100 KSM.
- The "Big Spender" limit will change from 33,333 KSM to 2,500 KSM.
- Some decision periods will also be longer, like the Treasurer's preparation period going from 2 hours to 48 hours.
- A video explaining the changes was removed from YouTube but is available on Twitter.
- The changes are detailed on GitHub and discussed in the Kusama community forums.

WHO: Adam Steeber

WHAT: Prepared a referendum to reconfigure Kusama's runtime spending tracks.

- Kabocha's parachain lease is ending, and they need to move to a new paraid (2268).
- They want to use a root referendum to fix the issue and make some long-term changes.
- The plan includes deregistering the old paraid, registering it under a new account, and swapping paraids.
- They need community support and validation to make sure the process works.
- On-chain remarks from involved accounts will confirm the changes.
- The deposit for registering the new paraid is about 280.3KSM.
- The process is complex but aims to keep Kabocha running smoothly.

WHO: The proposer is seeking the community's views.

WHAT: The proposer wants to move a parachain from one account to another and resolve other long-term issues.

- Bifrost is a parachain on Kusama that recently renewed its lease.
- Two parachains (paraid 2259 and 2262) need help to unlock 700 KSM.
- The address used to register these parachains is **J3dfxSNbUHwBbmB4My7DCgrNniQ227uTUNqqf4KB1DhyZkR**.
- Transactions for registration are linked.
- A signature proves the address belongs to Bifrost.
- The message confirms paraid 2259 and 2262 belong to Bifrost.
- A referendum is being submitted to unlock these parachains.

Bifrost requests community assistance to execute the `remove_lock` function to withdraw the previous 700 KSM locking for two parachains. The registration address is J3dfxSNbUHwBbmB4My7DCgrNniQ227uTUNqqf4KB1DhyZkR.

Polkawatch aims to fully integrate its analytics in the Polkadot Staking Dashboard, improve the Staking Dashboard Plugin system, and implement a different GeoLocation strategy using p2plib DHT. The milestone includes strategic developments and minimizes continued operation costs, currently at $2.9K per month. The project aims to reduce dependency on the Treasury and provide further funding options through parachain support. The timeframe for the project is until 2023H2, with 50% retroactive operation.

Elektro, a professional translator and Polkadot enthusiast, proposes to provide Italian voice-over for the first video of Polkadot 2023. The final price per minute will be $13.70, covering the costs of proofreading, audio editing, production, and voice-over recording. The proposal aims to address issues such as incomplete information, misinformation, and language barriers in the Italian community. Elektro also emphasizes the importance of creating high-quality resources in major world languages for a multi-lingual Polkadot.
