BTW from a technical perspective it is also better to do this change to async backing now, before the state of asset hub is bigger and we may need to migrate more data.
Asset Hub Migration: monthly update
Delayed progress on the migration
The timeline has been updated to reflect our current estimation of the most realistic timeframe for the Kusama migration. We’re expecting about a 6 week delay due to complications with integrating the new staking mechanism and the migration tests not going through. Apologies for the inconvenience, but we want to ensure everything is properly set up before proceeding.
Sunsetting AHN, continuing with the migration on Westend
We plan to roll out the migration on Westend in mid-April. This will allow Parachains to test their runtimes with the migrated state of Westend.
We are currently gathering feedback on the overall migration process from test participants and will integrate this feedback into upcoming testing phases.
Asset Hub Next will be sunsetted by mid-May. If you haven’t had the chance to test it yet, feel free to do so until then. The materials can be found here (visible only if you’re in the telegram support channel), or see above the last monthly update.
