Upgrade System Parachains to v9370

### Summary of Acala Foundation Parachain Issue

- **Acala Foundation** won a parachain slot auction with para id 2233.
- They intended to use this slot to renew Karura's lease.
- Due to a misunderstanding of the lease swap process, an incorrect wasm was submitted for para 2233.
- This mistake locked the parachain, preventing the swap.
- **Mangata team** faced a similar issue with their parachain.
- A proposal was made to swap leases between Karura (2000) and Acala's bid (2233), and between Mangata's operational parachain (2110) and their crowdloan parachain (2256).
- Efforts are being made to improve the lease renewal process to prevent future issues.

The proposal aims to perform lease swaps between Acala Foundation's para id 2233 and Karura para lease, and between Mangata's para ids 2110 and 2256. The goal is to resolve the issue of invalid wasm and enable the parachains to be used. The proposal also aims to design a better lease renew process for parachains to prevent similar situations in the future. No information on price/timeframe/resources is provided.

Lease swap for Karura and Mangata

- Kusama auctions are scheduled using a tool called the Scheduler Pallet.
- Two proposals, Ref 72 and Ref 81, were set up incorrectly, causing too many auctions to happen too quickly.
- The solution is to cancel these proposals and submit new ones with the correct settings.
- Three new proposals are being worked on to fix the issue:
  1. Cancel the incorrect auctions and Ref 81.
  2. Set up a new auction for Ref 81 to give more time for voting.
  3. Fix all auctions in Ref 72 and the last part of Ref 81.
- The first proposal to cancel the incorrect auctions is already submitted and needs votes.
- A special proposal is also needed to make sure the fix works properly.
- Everyone is encouraged to vote on these proposals to fix the problem.

WHO: Kusama community.

WHAT: Cancel Ref 72 and Ref 81 proposals and resubmit them on-chain due to misconfiguration.

PRICE/TIMEFRAME/RESOURCES: Not specified.

New Batch of Auctions for 2023: from LP27 to LP35

- A new proposal wants to make parachains safer by checking runtime upgrades before they happen.
- Validators will test and agree on the upgrade before it is used.
- This idea has already been tested successfully on Versi, Rococo, and Westend.
- It helps reduce risks, especially for slashing (penalties for bad behavior).
- Parachains need to support a signal called `go_ahead_signal`.
- Links are provided to review and vote on the proposal.
- The proposal is ready for voting, so people can check and vote when they want.

The proposal enables pre-checking for runtime upgrade on parachains. Validators must compile and agree on the new runtime before it can be upgraded. This reduces the risk of unjustified slashes and has been successfully tested. Parachains need to support the `go_ahead_signal`. The call to be enacted and the fellowship proposal to be approved are provided.

### Bridge Hub (BH) Parachain Proposal

- **Purpose**: To add a Bridge Hub (BH) parachain to Kusama.
- **Function**: Acts as a gateway between Kusama and other networks like Polkadot and Ethereum.
- **Current State**: Contains basic logic but lacks bridge-specific features.
- **Future Plans**: Bridge-specific pallets will be added in future upgrades.
- **Primary Role**: Serves as a message routing system within Kusama and between other networks.
- **Example Use**: Parachains can route messages to the BH for handling cross-network communication.
- **Expected Impact**: Once operational, it will enable more interaction between Kusama and Polkadot.
- **Goal**: To get approval from Kusama stakeholders and establish a "shell" for bridge teams to develop their logic.

The proposal is to add a Bridge Hub (BH) parachain to Kusama, acting as a message routing system between Kusama and other networks. The BH will not contain bridge-specific pallets, but will allow bridge teams to focus on releasing their bridge logic. The goal is to get approval from Kusama stakeholders and launch a "shell" operational. Once operational, a Polkadot<>Kusama bridge will allow more interaction between the networks. No price, timeframe, or resources are mentioned.

Encointer runtime upgrade v12

- Kintsugi parachain stopped making new blocks because of a problem with how long each block takes to make.
- A fix has been found and tested with help from Parity.
- No one's money is lost or at risk right now.
- To fix Kintsugi, the Kusama community needs to vote on a special update.
- The problem is only with Kintsugi, no other parachains are affected.
- Until fixed, no new kBTC can be made, and no money can be moved on Kintsugi.
- Exchanges and other parachains have been told to stop certain activities until Kintsugi is fixed.

Kintsugi parachain stopped producing blocks due to a Kintsugi-specific issue with the slot duration in Aura. The only way to recover the chain is via a Kusama governance proposal. The Kusama community is asked to vote on recovering the Kintsugi parachain as soon as possible. No user funds are affected. The proposal is requesting the whitelist track for this proposal to accelerate recovery of Kintsugi. The estimated time and cost are not mentioned.
