We currently hold 74 of the 94 available cores on Kusama and 9 of the 18 available cores on Polkadot. Our objective in sharing this perspective is to foster informed discussions about core functionality, market dynamics, and broader ecosystem implications. We emphasize that core sales operate on per…

One could have — and still can — start with a very simple and secure approach, such as the model suggested by @sourabhniyogi , or even a fixed price per core (in USD or KSM/DOT). This approach can always be adapted later when the need arises. Instead, we began with a complicated model, with all its…

Hello everyone, We would like to provide clarity regarding our next steps, as outlined in our previous communication. Current Status The following information applies to both relay chains, with Kusama being used as a specific example. We have acquired several cores, which have been assigned to mu…

I miss the days of 2021 when DOT demand was created by artificial scarcity, when 5 cores were auctioned off at a time, and there was no way to get into a parachain crowdloan except to buy DOT. The @coretimenegotiation efforts of cornering the market sort of looked like the 2021 days for a second –…

Malicious – maybe. But certainly yet another ecosystem actor that is trying to extract as much value as possible from the network under the guise of “I’m doing it for your benefit, don’t you see that?” Exploitative? Yes, by all appearances the system was set up with a loophole that created an unfai…

That is true, I don’t think anyone in the initial Coretime Sales discussion anticipated that multiple chains would simply forget to renew the one resource they can’t function without. I’m honestly still surprised by that, never saw it coming. I guess you can call that a “loophole,” but it seems to …

Core time should have start as a public good and projects could apply for it through proposals and community votes who gets the core time and how long time. This core time wouldn’t be possible to transfer or sold on secondary markets. This would show how much there is ask for the true need of comput…
