Executed

Upgrade System Parachains to v9370

Acala Foundation have registered para id 2233 and won a parachain slot auction by bidding with the intention to use the new lease to renew Karura para lease.

However, due to incorrect understanding of the lease swap process, a bad wasm was submitted for para 2233 as it is never intended to run this parachain. However, despite that the auction was won by direct bidding, the parachain is nevertheless locked and therefore para manager is not able to call swap on the parachain. As a result, para 2233 cannot be used.

Mangata team also having a [similar situation](https://kusama.polkassembly.io/referendum/263) that the para wasm for their new para id is not valid and unable to perform lease swap as well.

This proposal aims to perform lease swap between 2000 (Karura) and 2233 (parachain bid by Acala Foundation), and another lease swap between 2110 (Mangata operational parachain) and 2256 (Mangata crowdloan parachain).

In order to prevent similar situation to happen in future, I created [this issue](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot/issues/6685) and will try to design a better lease renew process for parachains.

- A group called Acala Foundation won an auction to use a new lease to renew Karura para lease.
- They made a mistake and submitted the wrong information for para 2233, which means it cannot be used.
- Another group called Mangata also had a similar problem with their new para id.
- This proposal aims to fix the problem by swapping leases between different groups.
- The person who wrote this post wants to make sure this doesn't happen again in the future and is working on a better process.

Lease swap for Karura and Mangata

Kusama auctions are scheduled using the Scheduler Pallet, and the recurring functionality that this brings. The recurrence of this pallet offers two options: every how many blocks this recurrent should be executed, and how many times. Unfortunately, [Ref 72](https://kusama.subsquare.io/referenda/referendum/72) and [Ref 81](https://kusama.subsquare.io/referenda/referendum/81) have been misconfigured and the two parameters on the scheduler pallet have been passed in the wrong way: For example, the first scheduler call will not create 2 auctions every 100_800 blocks, but rather 100_800 auctions every two blocks.

**Solution:** both Ref 72 and Ref 81 will have to be cancelled and re-submitted on-chain.

For this, we will work on 3 proposals:

1. Whitelisted caller track proposal cancelling scheduled auctions + ref81;
2. Auction admin track proposal for the first auction on Ref81: this will give us one more week to vote on the third proposal;
3. Root track proposal for all auctions in ref72 + the last auction batch of ref81. 

The first proposal is now submitted and is THIS ONE - this proposal aims to cancel all scheduled auctions that are incorrect on scheduler:

And [referendum 81](https://kusama.polkassembly.io/referenda/81): up for vote on Root track now. The reason why we are cancelling this proposal is due to the fact the same mistake was made on submission. 

Please note a Fellowship proposal is also needed, up for vote now by its members, to whitelist this proposal hash to make sure the proposal executes successfully.

1. Kusama auctions are scheduled using the Scheduler Pallet.
2. Unfortunately, Ref 72 and Ref 81 have been misconfigured and need to be cancelled and re-submitted on-chain.
3. Three proposals have been made to address this issue.
4. The first proposal aims to cancel all scheduled auctions that are incorrect on the scheduler.

Runtime Upgrade on Kusama to v9370

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.

- Kusama community wants to include new parachains and allow existing ones to renew their slots in 2023.
- They propose to schedule a new batch of auctions from LP27 to LP35 for a total of 57 auctions until January 2024.
- The proposal includes a detailed schedule for each LP, with the first two auctions for LP27 already happened.

New Batch of Auctions for 2023: from LP27 to LP35

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.

- This proposal is about making sure that when a parachain wants to upgrade their runtime, validators first check if it's good before accepting it blindly.
- This is a good idea because it helps reduce the risk of unjustified slashes and has been successfully tested on other networks.
- Parachains need to support the `go_ahead_signal` for this to work, but that should not be a problem.
- There is a call to be enacted and a call wrapped for whitelisted caller track.
- There is also a Fellowship proposal to be approved by the collective, which can be found on the SubSquare website.

Setting pvfCheckingEnabled In The Configuration To TRUE

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.

Enable conditional fast-unstake service in Kusama

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

Detailed changes to our [runtime](https://github.com/encointer/encointer-parachain/compare/1.2.0...1.3.2) and to our [pallets](https://github.com/encointer/pallets/compare/1.2.0...1.3.2)

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.

# 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
  },
  ...
);
```

Encointer has made some upgrades to their code which will help improve their platform. Here are the changes:
- Participants can now unregister from ceremony cycles to decrease no-shows and increase security.
- Reputables can now endorse newbies, which will help with growth. Previously, only bootstrappers could endorse newbies.
- The dependencies have been upgraded to polkadot-0.9.28.
- Encointer has requested a runtime upgrade to be whitelisted by the fellowship.
- There are some steps that need to be followed to execute the call to be executed on the Encointer parachain with root privilege.

TimedOut

Encointer runtime upgrade v12

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.

Kintsugi parachain has stopped producing blocks due to a technical issue with the slot duration in Aura. No user funds are affected as of now. 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. The Kusama community is being asked to vote on recovering the Kintsugi parachain as soon as possible. All operations are halted until Kintsugi is back online and producing blocks.
