In light of the recent upgrade of the Kusama relay chain, an XCM issue has surfaced. This problem arises because the Kusama relay chain appends a `SetTopic` instruction to every XCM program. However, XCM version 2, which is currently the default for many destinations, does not support this instruction.  Consequently, when the Kusama relay chain sends an XCM message to a destination, it believes is using v2 (even if that destination has actually upgraded to v3), the SetTopic instruction triggers an error, leading to failed transactions.

The mismatch in XCM versions can lead to issues between the relay chain and parachains. To resolve this, we propose setting the relay chain's `safeXcmVersion` to v3. This adjustment ensures that the relay chain will send XCMs in the v3 format by default. Moreover, defaulting to v3 on the relay chain isn't just a temporary fix. It's a strategic move for the long term.

- Kusama upgraded, but there is a problem with XCM.
- XCM version 2 doesn't work with Kusama's upgrade.
- This causes failed transactions between Kusama and other places.
- To fix this, they want to change Kusama's default to version 3.
- This is a long-term solution.

Setting the relay chain's safeXcmVersion to v3

The new Kusama runtime 1000000 introduced a XCM bug that can result partially executed XCM and stuck of funds.

I worked with Parity devs to debug and identify the root cause of the bug, create [a Github issue](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/2238) described action items, [a twitter thread](https://twitter.com/XiliangChen/status/1722546330382565572) explaining the bug, [suggestion to parachain teams](https://twitter.com/XiliangChen/status/1722546359071609103) to workaround the issue. I also created [a test script](https://github.com/xlc/chopsticks-ksm-xcm/tree/master) using Chopsticks to reproduce the issue, and use it to verify the fix.

I will also work with Fellowship to setup e2e tests and regression tests for future releases. But this can be considered out of scope of this tip.

- There is a bug in a new computer program called Kusama runtime 1000000.
- This bug can cause some actions to only be partially completed and money to get stuck.
- The person who wrote this post worked with other computer programmers to find and fix the bug.
- They made a plan to fix the bug and shared it on a website called Github and on Twitter.
- They also made a test to make sure the bug was fixed and suggested ways for other teams to avoid the bug.

Help debug and mitigate Kusama XCM issue

Is Kusama(ie. Polkadot) actually open to collaboration with interested parties or still hung up on petty tribalism?

Kusama Welcomes Cardano Partner Chain

Dear Community,

I am proposing the closure of bounty 14 on Kusama as it is now replaced by [bounty 24](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/bounty/24) on Polkadot.  The bounty originally funded the Moderation Team but the team has since moved their source of funding from Kusama to Polkadot.

The action of closing the bounty would return any remnant funds on the account to the treasury and remove the curator.  In this case the Curator was already removed.  This occurred because the curators did not extend their expiration date and it elapsed.  When such occurs it leaves the Curators open to a permission-less extrinsic to remove them.

Kind Regards,
Will | Paradox | Ecosystem Janitor

- A person named Will wants to close a bounty on Kusama.
- The bounty was for a Moderation Team, but they now get funding from Polkadot instead.
- Closing the bounty would give any leftover money back to the treasury.
- The Curator was already removed because they didn't extend their expiration date.
- This means the Curator can be removed without permission.

Closing Bounty 14 - Moderation Team Bounty

Our [last referendum](https://kusama.polkassembly.io/referenda/291) was unfortunately rejected in the confirmation period. As it dropped below 50% approval, the referendum went back into the decision period. But the specific referendum already elapsed the allowed decision period of 14 days when it was knocked out of confirmation. A referendum that does not meet the requirements to enter confirmation at the end of its decision period will fail. 

We appreciate everyone that supported us and all the feedback received. 🖤

We are keen to keep building. To help us get back to work faster we are reducing our asking amount by 20% in this referendum.

Dear Community,

The Proof of Chaos project is running full steam again. For the past 9 months we worked hard to bring our vision to life. It has been a period of constant learning and pivoting in this fast paced environment. We are very proud of where the project is going and what we have built: **anyone can now mint governance participation rewards and receive royalties whenever they are traded**. 

We demoed this with a [sendout for all voters of Referendum 0](https://t.co/bkkytK5D1U) on Kusama.
Most of the work done to date has been covered through our last funding round in November of last year. As the future around NFTs was very uncertain at the start of this year we took the strategic decision to run our engine on minimum steam until there was more clarity on the horizon. Through this decision we have been able to stretch our last funding pretty far. 

We did run a bit overboard though (19.2k USD) as we completely revamped our code base. We now have a new site and the new code allows for much quicker and cheaper implementation of new features in the future. For example with the new codebase adding multi-chain support is now very easy. This proposal seeks retroactive funding for those hours and outlines our future roadmap.

With a period of heavy development to build a solid foundation behind us, we will now also start focusing on marketing our tool. Reward creators currently have to lock up approximately 7KSM per sendout for a referendum of 500 votes. So while they do earn royalties on the trades, in the current market climate it is tough to earn back that amount through trades. In this regard we want to launch a program that reimburses the first 10 reward creators with the amount paid/locked up through their send-outs. We have included a budget of 7KSM*10 to fund the first 10 creators and get things going.

### Our Value To the Ecosystem
Our goal is to bring more participants to on-chain governance on Polkadot and Kusama to secure the network through increased decentralization. Besides governance participation increasing notably since the introduction of our project in gov1, we also achieved doing the following:
- We recently published a clean UI to allow anyone in the ecosystem to send NFTs as rewards for participating in on chain governance. 
- We work alongside many other ecosystem teams to elevate the whole. We frequently discuss with Parity, Encointer, Kilt and Kodadot to provide feedback and develop ideas in the realm of the Polkadot ecosystem. We are amongst the first builders on the nfts pallet on Assethub for example. Similarly we also created PRs for [Subsquare](https://github.com/opensquare-network/subsquare/pull/2298) and [Kodadot](https://github.com/kodadot/nft-gallery/pull/7013#issuecomment-1699470842) in the past as we found bugs and built new features for the respective projects.
- We provide another interface (besides Polkassembly, Subsquare) for voting on OpenGov referenda (currently Kusama + Polkadot, more possible), that works in the browser and on mobile (besides Nova, SubWallet). We think it is important to have different options available.
- [Our code](https://github.com/Proof-Of-Chaos/website) is fully open source. We build with the latest tech and best practices. Our codebase is a valuable example for any current and future builders. Things develop fast and not every aspect of the ecosystem is well documented. In these areas especially using our code as an example will save future builders many hours of reaching out to teams for clarification and pain-staking debugging. We have gone through that process already with various ecosystem teams and through our lessons learnt helped improve documentation as in the example of KILT.

We believe that Uai So Serious's efforts have made a positive impact on our online presence, and we recommend rewarding his commitment to the community.

Who is "Uai so serious?"?
- "I am a brazilian builder, founder of [blockaffee](https://twitter.com/blockaffee), the web3 podcast that delivering for the last 13 months, the weekly talk show with web3 builders. In my recent interviews, I did to "CBDC Special" and one of them was with CBDC [coordinator from Central Bank of Brazil](https://x.com/blockaffee/status/1716753478662381620?s=20). I am also Bankless Brazil DAO contributor at writer guild ([editorial coordinator](https://artigos.banklessbr.com/s/dao-talks)) and Nodle Ambassador."

What "Uai so serious?" will do with the recent tip?
- "First, I'll improve my work upgrading some tools to a paid plan like typefully (excelent tool to manage twitter/X accounts), and others AI like subtitles and images. After all, I'll improve myself health buyin an height-adjustable table for working while standing and sitting. And confortable chair also."

Which kind of message "Uai so serious?" want to say to who are judging the current proposal and don't know who is "Uai"?
- "Well... first it's my pleasure to be here into a great ecosystem! Aftermore, I wanna invite you to look the quantity of addr are voting "Aye" here in my proposal and compare with who are voting "Nay". This impressive difference between shows the community power and who know that I deserve spread it to help me. Will you help me spread the word? Thank you some much!!!"

Uai so serious is a person who has been managing the Polkadot Brasil Twitter account for the past four months. He has helped to increase the number of followers from 400 to over 645 by creating interesting posts and hosting Twitter Spaces.

To support his hard work, a proposal has been made to tip him 35 KSM.

Uai so serious is a Brazilian builder who is also a founder of blockaffee, a web3 podcast. He is also a Bankless Brazil DAO contributor and a Nodle Ambassador.

With the recent tip, Uai so serious plans to upgrade his tools and improve his health by buying an adjustable table and a comfortable chair.

Uai so serious invites everyone to support his proposal and spread the word.

Small Tip for "Uai So Serious?" for managing the Polkadot Brasil Twitter account and other initiatives.

Referendum #295 tries to kill #287 & #289. People are disagreeing with each other tremendously, but they are still legit treasury proposals. Just vote Nay if you don't like it. Trying to kill them is clearly done in bad faith.

So this is a counter referendum for referendum #295.

Kill Referendum #295 & Slash Proposer's Deposit

This proposal aims to accomplish two things:

1. Measure the ecosystem's support to slash Decent Partners' benefactor
2. Enable whoever has the 1,667 KSM to make this slash actionable

Let's see if the whales agree with the popular sentiment to punish Rich's behavior.

Expect chaos.

Kill Referenda 287 & 289 Slashing Decent Partners' Benefactor

The backing group size on Kusama (and Polkadot) has been set to 5 (configuration->activeConfig->maxValidatorsPerCore). This proposal is aiming at reducing the group size to 3.

Currently, when a parachain produces a block, it requires 2 out of 5 backing validators to verify and sign it in order to back it and move forward. With 2-of-3, we'd guarantee that backing quorum is a group supermajority, so there're not two competing 2/5 backed candidates. And one extra validator is allowed to be slow.
Smaller backing groups should also contribute to distributing the load of approval-checking more evenly.

There's a small risk, however, that with slow/unresponsive validators, parachain slots might be skipped more often with 2/3 instead of 2/5. This should not be an issue in practice since validator groups rotate every minute.

- Kusama and Polkadot have a group of validators that back up blocks produced by parachains.
- Currently, the group size is 5, but there is a proposal to reduce it to 3.
- With a group size of 2 out of 5, two validators are needed to verify and sign a block.
- With a group size of 2 out of 3, a supermajority is needed to back a block, and it can handle slow validators better.
- Smaller backing groups can distribute the load of approval-checking more evenly, but there is a small risk of skipped parachain slots with 2/3.

Set backing group size to 3

This is a request for the retroactive funding of maintaining public [rpc services](https://stakeworld.io/docs/rpc) in Q3 2023 for kusama, westend and encointer including the commons (assethub, bridgehub), all included in [polkadot.js.org](https://polkadot.js.org/apps/?rpc=wss://ksm-rpc.stakeworld.io).

Infrastructure requests are a hot topic on the treasury. After our [rejected](https://kusama.polkassembly.io/referenda/242) (prefunded) request we scaled down a little and delayed adding ourself to more services like polkassembly and the staking dashboard until it is clear if the kusama community thinks our service deserves further funding. 

Stakeworld is an active participant in the dotsama ecosystem; active as a validator (also in the thousand validator group) as well as running collators, making updates to the wiki, running bootnodes and maintaining robust rpc public endpoints. Especially the rpc endpoints cannot be maintained without adequate funding. 

In the previous 30 days we [served](https://stakeworld.io/docs/rpc#live-stakeworld-rpc-data):
* 218.360.781 Kusama & common chains rpc requests (including encointer)
* 24.120.290 Westend & common chains rpc requests

More info can be found in the [full proposal](https://github.com/stakeworld/stakeworld-treasury/blob/master/2023-Q3-kusama-2.md).

We hope for a positive outcome so we can continue to provide the kusama community with our rpc services. 

Regards,
