#491 Deregister parathread 3390
The parathread 3390 was originally set up for testing purposes and operated successfully for ~20 days. Unfortunately the collator along with its state was deleted before unlocking the parathread. Therefore, we are unable to deregister the parathread. We propose to deregister this chain via governance.
The proposer account owns parathread 3390, please feel free to verify.

Overall 25 % of users are feeling optimistic. The individual realized their mistake and corrected their vote after receiving the correct information. The parathread ID in question was for Polkadot, not Kusama, and since it was never registered or produced blocks, there is no need for governance involvement.
Overall 50 % of users are feeling neutral. A user pointed out a discrepancy in the context of Polkadot and Kusama in a discussion thread. The reservation was made in Kusama, but the link provided shows Polkadot information. The user clarified the difference and provided the correct registration link for Kusama.
Overall 25 % of users are feeling against it. Kus DAO voted AYE to resolve an orphaned parathread, but lacked due diligence and context. It shouldn't be on the Root track. Join the discussion on Discord or Telegram.

Can you provide contextual information please?
This parathread ID was reserved here:
https://polkadot.subscan.io/extrinsic/21581943-2?event=21581943-49 but never registered.
Since it has never been registered and never produced blocks, there is no need to go through governance.

Reducing inflation and setting a realistic target for coretime sales

Reducing Inflation
Some time has passed since our wild cousin Polkadot successfully reduced its annual inflation to 8%(with gradual reduction), as a KSM token holder I believe our loved bird is due an adjustment of its inflation parameters as well. Instead of copy-pasting Polkadot's model, Kusama can try something different, some DOT holders were left wondering if inflation could be lower, I propose we reduce it to 5%. The high initial inflation was good for early bootstrapping and incentivizing participation, the ecosystem has matured enough to aim for long-term sustainability.
Changed parameters
- Setting
MaxInflation
: From10%
to5%
UseAuctionSlots
: Fromtrue
tofalse
.
From the docs:With the move to agile-coretime, this parameter does not make much sense and should generally be set to false.
NOTE: As IdealStake
is "75%", UseAuctionSlots = true
had the effect of making the real target around 45%, this is intentional as it would increase the treasury income to around 10% with current staking levels.
Reducing ideal bulk coretime sales
The reduction of inflation should be balanced with an increased demand for the KSM, the main utility of KSM is to pay for coretime(which gets burned) but current prices are virtually 0 making it hard for the system to benefit from its main product offering. Elastic scaling will help grow demand for coretime and thus KSM, there might also be new sources of KSM demand like Kreivo's memberships but we need to adjust the core business model.
A while back I proposed setting a minimum price but it was pointed out by @seadanda that a better approach is to change the parameter that controls the ideal target for sales to a value that better reflects the expected demand of the Kusama cores to stop the price from further being driven to 0 and quite the opposite drive its price up to a more realistic value.
Note that this number is not set in stone, it's a starting point that can help us better discover coretime's true value.
Changed parameters
- Setting
ideal_builk_proportion
: From100%
to40%
The proportion of cores available for sale which should be sold. If more cores are sold than this, then further sales will no longer be considered in determining the sellout price. In other words the sellout price will be the last price paid, without going over this limit.
As self-proclaimed Kusama enthusiast#1, not only as KSM-only holder but as full-time exclusive builder on this network for several years, I hope this proposal well received and not seen as malicious as I only have the best intentions for this ecosystem :)

GM Kusama Community, thanks for all the DVs and Communities providing feedback, on these failed proposal attempts:
Learnings:
- — Non-speculative fund asking, use the EMA right
- — This program is different from the PBA because it's focused on LATAM, the UX part that is for the interest of decision-makers at operational, transparency, and regulatory level.
Acknowledgments:
- — The time between proposals is too long. Why? Familiar medical issues and operational alliances were not confirmed. We keep prospecting and closing as we reach organizations.
- — At some AAG Jay asked me "Why on Kusama?" and yes not only because of fast approvals, but because Kusama represents chaos, represents non-orthodox methods, continue testing and developing, like any new organization or project, and Kusama is getting mature and taking a new path from their cousin, a path on which we need people to explore the chaos and possibilities of working with true permissionless technology, only ruled by consensus. New countries could born over the decades on top of Kusama, and ghost countries or organizations could also develop for the greater good or for evil, who knows, tech should be neutral, right? But people, professionals, and decision-makers need information, and education, to get their thoughts out of the box.
The Kusama DAO Academy, or DotSama ecosystem learning through e-learning platform and institutional alliances.
Kusama DAO Academy (KDA) is an educational program designed to train companies, institutions, and organizations in blockchain technology, with a special focus on the Kusama/Polkadot ecosystem. The initiative aims to promote the adoption of decentralized tools such as multisig, DIDs, NFTs, and decentralized financial mechanisms.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We request 1,050 KSM (~$21,000 USD) 1 KSM = 20 USD EMA= 30 days to develop and launch the program, ensuring its sustainability and expansion in Latin America, for the next 6 months.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GrowDAO the team behind this project, successfully provided education to professionals of big corporations and Universities in Mexico and Colombia such as Grupo Salinas, Banco Agrario de Colombia, Certi Cámara, Tecnológico de Monterrey and Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana.
We acknowledge that if we leave the ecosystem for any reason the community will be affected, that's why we must accomplish this so the community can have it open source and, other Hispanic DAOs or the Ambassadors Programme can benefit from it. (I love this ecosystem, and do better every day to stay with it)
Project Objectives
— Blockchain Education for Companies and Institutions: Teach organizations how to use blockchain technology for fund management, transparency, and operational efficiency.
— Adoption of Kusama/Polkadot: Integrate native ecosystem tools into teaching and certification processes.
— Self-Sustaining Model: Generate revenue through paid certifications and partnerships with universities and companies. (on the mid-run)
— Open Source Content: Publish educational materials for other DAOs and communities to use and expand upon.
Structure and Implementation Plan
Educational Content
- 6 structured modules on Moodle, accessible via web and mobile devices.
- Key topics: Blockchain security, DIDs, smart contracts, decentralized governance, multisig usage, and more.
- Video lessons, PDFs, case studies, and interactive assessments.
- 1st iteration videos (currently we are updating them to be suitable for Moodle, and zooming into the ecosystem)
Adoption Strategy and Partnerships
— FintechU Mx: Official certification recognized by the fintech sector in Mexico, national and international curricular value for the students. FintechU Mx has a specialized curriculum about fintech and blockchain in LATAM, they have graduated more than 1000 students from many C-Level positions at many startups and corporates in LATAM.
This collaboration will take the course of DAO School to their enrolled students and alumni, and it will be an administration cost covered by the student to get certificated nationally and internationally (50 USD) this is an administrative pay for FintechU we as GrowDAO not charge for this. The asked funds cover all our work for the next 6 months.
— Universities: Exploring integration with UAM Cuajimalpa and other institutions.
— Podcast "GM Crypto News": Content dissemination through YouTube and Spotify.
Infrastructure and Development
— Moodle-based platform hosted on a dedicated server. (Currently a home web server 2500U Ryzen 5, 12 GB RAM) Our plan for the next 6 months is to consolidate an alliance with a public college willing to host and offer the course to the students, and professors.
— Production of audiovisual content and creation of educational materials in accessible formats. (Podcast and video material for Moodle)
— Open Source the Moodle Content so any DAO can use it.
Funding and Sustainability
Estimated cost: 1,050 KSM (~$21,000 USD) 1 KSM = 20 USD EMA=30 days
Future revenue sources:
— Certifications: $50 USD per student. (Academic institution register future 12 months)
— Partnerships with companies and universities.
— Expansion of the model to other regions.
Benefits for the Kusama/Polkadot Ecosystem
✅ Increased adoption of DIDs, multisig, and NFTs in business environments.
✅ Positioning the ecosystem in Latin America through certified education.
✅ Creation of an Open Source repository with educational content accessible to other DAOs and communities.
✅ Generation of new use cases that drive the real-world utility of Kusama/Polkadot.
Success Metrics and Evaluation
🚀 Initial Goal: 100 certified students in the first 6 months.
🔗 Strategic Partnerships: At least 2 universities and 3 companies adopting decentralized tools.
💡 Documented Use Cases: Companies implementing solutions based on Kusama/Polkadot.
📈 Course Completion Rate: At least 70% of enrolled students complete certification.
Here's the full proposal, which is still changing due to community feedback. Please, reach me at:

Funding for Public RPC Providers via Bounty 25
Dear community,

Dear community,
I present this proposal on the authorization of the curators of bounty 25.
This proposal seeks to continue funding of Public RPC Providers for the period of six months plus an additional month's contingency. Funding is issued to bounty 25 which awards vendors for RPC services on the Kusama relay-chain as well as its system parachains. The total cost for such provision is USD$107,237.98, which represents $12,397.21 per month without contingency and administrative fees.
Bounty 25 adopts an tender based procurement model in which service providers bid on requirements as set-out by the curators. The tender requirements are aligned to ecosystem needs and can scale up/down depending on usage. Tenders are scored and the highest scoring providers receive funding.
Attention is also being placed on quality of service and should service providers fail to meet said quality-standards they will be penalized or lose funding altogether.
This approach has seen a reduction with independent funding proposals for such services and steering of providers to a "market rate".
