- The InvArch Network team is developing a new multi-signature solution called Saturn for the Dotsama ecosystem.
- Saturn aims to be easily adopted by existing wallets and provide a better experience than external solutions like Gnosis Safe.
- The team has received positive feedback from Parity Technologies and strong interest from the community.
- Current multi-signature solutions in the ecosystem are either limiting or time-consuming to develop.
- Saturn will be open-source and usable with KSM, not requiring TNKR tokens.
- The team believes Saturn will significantly improve Kusama's multi-signature experience.
- Public support for the project has been positive, and the team seeks community backing to proceed.

InvArch Network team proposes to build an open-source multi-signature solution named Saturn, available to every parachain & dApp on those parachains. The solution will be easily adopted by existing wallets in the ecosystem, providing a superior multi-signature solution to the Dotsama ecosystem compared to external solutions such as Gnosis Safe. The proposal is designed to service the entirety of Kusama & its parachains, and the cost breakdown can be found in the provided link.

- All operations on Kintsugi are halted, including kBTC issuance and redemption.
- Exchanges and XCM-connected parachains have been advised to halt operations.
- The issue was caused by a missing migration and a runtime upgrade.
- A detailed post-mortem will be provided.

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.
