## Polkadot News

With a day to go in the current parachain lease auction, SORA Polkadot is currently in the lead, but anonymous parathread 3358 has been in the lead a majority of time in the Ending Period. [Polkadot Auctions and Crowdloans | Parachains.info](https://parachains.info/auctions/polkadot)

This means that either can win due to the nature of candle auctions. For details, see [Web3 and Polkadot - Polkadot Wiki](https://wiki.polkadot.network/docs/learn-auction#mechanics-of-a-candle-auction)

Referendum 394, assigning a 2-of-3 multisig as curator to Bounty 32 (System Parachain Collators), is passing with 99.1% in favor. [Polkassembly - Referendum #394](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/referenda/394)

Yesterday there was a Twitter space covering DeFi in the Polkadot ecosystem. You can listen to the recording here: [https://twitter.com/i/spaces/1OdKrjnwnRyKX](https://twitter.com/i/spaces/1OdKrjnwnRyKX)
