- Encointer has a new update that lets people leave ceremony cycles, which helps reduce no-shows and makes things safer.
- Now, anyone who has proven they are real can help new people join, not just special helpers. This helps more people join easily.
- The update also improves the system's technology to work better with Polkadot.
- Encointer wants a special group called the fellowship to check and approve this update because it's important and needs expert review.
- There are steps to follow for the fellowship to approve the update, including voting and checking the changes.
- The process involves creating and checking special codes and making sure everything is safe and correct.
- After the fellowship approves, everyone else can vote on the update too.
- This whole process helps make sure the update is good and safe for everyone using Encointer.

TimedOut

Encointer proposes a code upgrade that allows participants to unregister from ceremony cycles, allows reputables to endorse newbies, and upgrades dependencies to polkadot-0.9.28. They would like their runtime upgrade to be whitelisted by the fellowship, and the decision period for the fellowship whitelist referendum is 7 days. The submission deposit for the public referendum is 100KSM, and the decision deposit is 33.333 KSM.

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.
