[Resubmission of Ref 589] Kusama Inflation Parameters for Asset Hub Migration

- This proposal asks for money to keep funding RPC providers for one year.
- RPC services help people use the Kusama network and its parachains.
- The total cost is $112,608, which is less than before.
- Providers must bid to offer these services, and the best ones get chosen.
- If they don't meet quality standards, they can lose funding.
- This system has helped lower costs and reduce extra funding requests.
- More information is available in a linked document.

Delay Demo #2 Treasury Guardian

- Kusama started with 10 million KSM tokens.
- Now there are over 17 million tokens.
- Too many new tokens are made, which lowers the value.
- About half of new tokens are sold right away.
- This proposal wants to limit the total to 21 million KSM.
- It would cut new tokens by 55% in 2025, then 15% less every two years.
- This helps Kusama be more like Bitcoin, with a fixed supply.
- The goal is to make Kusama stronger and fairer for everyone.

Hard Pressure Capped & Stepped Supply Schedule

- Kusama needs stablecoins like USDT and USDC.
- Current options are not easy to use or are outdated.

- This would make it simpler for users to move money.
- It would help apps and websites work better with these coins.
- A vote is needed to make this happen.
- People are asking for support to start the voting process.

Web3 Without Barriers: Virto Connect

- Polkadot wants to change a rule for new communication channels between blockchains.
- Currently, up to 1,000 messages can wait in line on the main relay chain.
- The proposal is to lower this number to 25 messages for new channels.
- This helps keep things running smoothly and prevents big delays.
- If a receiving blockchain is stuck, fewer waiting messages means less stress when it starts again.
- Old channels will keep the old limit of 1,000 messages.
- Special channels can still ask for a higher limit if needed.
