Polkadot embraced a new inflation model on March 14, capping the supply to 2.1B DOT and reducing DOT emissions by ~53%. In the near future, the staking model gets additional structural upgrades, such as validators requiring 10,000 DOT as self-stake (which Amforc/1-4 already have!) and a reduced unbonding time of 1-2 days. To continue providing the highest level of service quality, we will update our commission to 15% in the next hours.

GitHub’s PR UX is terrible when working back-and-forth with coding assistants. So I built Scholion → scholion.amforc.com/ You’ll get: • Markdown export for whole reviews or single threads • Wide-screen-friendly comments with inline code previews • Reviewer filters and file grouping • Local “done” state, for everyone who likes clearing the board Instead of clicking around GitHub to reconstruct context, you get a readable PR review surface for humans and agents.

PSA: You can cut storage needs by ~40x for Polkadot by creating a snapshot from a fresh `--sync=fast` sync instead of `--sync=warp` (which is the preferred option for validators). Fresh sync (v1.21.1): Warp: 979 gb Fast: 24 gb

Reminder, two more days until the AssetHub migration
During the Nov 4 Polkadot AssetHub migration, validator operators are asked to run their validators with --db-cache=8000 to prevent slowdowns. This is due to the intensive storage operations required to ingest all data. Keep this flag enabled until further notice.

Kusama has come to a halt. All validator operators should be on standby

We would like to thank the Polkadot community and especially the voters on ref. 1530 for recognizing our contribution towards the Spammening initiative. From the initial idea to the final event, we not only learned a ton ourselves and identified some issues for the ecosystem, but also are grateful to have been able to help demonstrate what Polkadot and our beloved bird Kusama are capable of to the broader public. It is deeply encouraging to see that the Polkadot community supports and rewards such initiatives. We also thank @LeemoXD for submitting such a referendum and dedicating hours of his own time to put together the proposal. As a token of our gratitude, we have sent USDT 2'420.69 to @LeemoXD to compensate for his work.
